Dave Stewart Delivers Roof-raising Set At Sold-out And Star-studded Friday Night Show At The Troubadour In Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ MSO PR) DAVE STEWART raised the roof Friday night (September 28) at Los Angeles' famed Troubadour for a special sold-out and star-studded "Dave Stewart and Friends" show. The performance marked the British singer, songwriter and guitarist's first Los Angeles show since the September 4 release of his new album THE RINGMASTER GENERAL (Weapons of Mass Entertainment/Surfdog)-a potent and distinctive musical gumbo with rock, blues, country, rhythm & blues and psychedelia. STEWART was joined by Dana Glover (vocals, keys), Nik West (vocals, bass), Randy Cooke (drums),Kieran Kiely (Hammond, accordion), Jimmy Z (harmonica/sax), Orianthi (guitar) and guest vocalists Colbie Caillat, Delta Goodrem, Orianthi,Vanessa Amorosi, and Amy Keys (full set list and live photo below). The encore featured a special appearance by blazing guitarist John Mayer on"Gypsy Girl and Me" from The Blackbird Diaries (STEWART's 2011 solo album) and "Slow Motion Addict No. 2" from The Ringmaster General.

"It was such great fun to have all these amazing musicians and singers join me onstage at the Troubadour," said STEWART. "Very surprising and coincidental that three of them were from Australia; Orianthi on guitar (I just produced her new album Heaven In This Hell), and we were also joined by Vanessa Amorosi who belted out 'Would I Lie To You' like there was no tomorrow, and Delta Goodrem who sang along with me on acoustic guitar doing a really emotional rendition of 'You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart.' I was also joined by Colbie Caillat to sing a duet, 'Bulletproof Vest, from my album The Blackbird Diaries. A very dapper looking John Mayer leapt up for the encore to play an amazing blues guitar on 'The Gypsy Girl and Me' and 'Slow Motion Addict No. 2.'"

The complete set list for the "Dave Stewart and Friends" show was:
1. So Long Ago (Amy Keys)
2. Beast Called Fame (Amy Keys)
3. Don't Come Around Here No More (Amy Keys)
4. Magic In The Blues (Amy Keys)
5. One Way Ticket To The Moon (Sam Stewart on guitar)
6. Missionary Man (Kaya Stewart (vocals) + Sam Stewart (guitar) + Django Stewart (vocals))
7. Girl In A Catsuit (Orianthi)
8. Heaven In This Hell (Orianthi)
9. Here Comes the Rain Again (Dana Glover featured on vocals)

Here's some early critical praise for THE RINGMASTER GENERAL:
"…a terrific songwriter, guitarist and producer and surrounds himself with great players and vocalists such as Alison Krauss, Joss Stone, Jessie Baylin and Diane Birch. Stewart reveals just enough of the love-perplexed man behind the curtain to keep us entranced." -Jerry Shriver, USA TODAY, September 4, 2012

"A love letter to American roots music, it is steeped in blues, folk and country…" -Adrian Thrills, DAILY MAIL (U.K.), August 9, 2012

"Both albums fuse country, rock, blues, bluegrass and R&B, and the results are quirky, soul-stirring and thoroughly engrossing." -Joe Bosso, MUSICRADAR.COM, August 13, 2012

"…a record bursting with passion, personality and variety…. Dave Stewart, both ringmaster and general, takes a powerful bow." - MXDWN.COM, September 10th, 2012

About DAVE STEWART:
"An explosive musician, deft guitar player, innately recognizes the genius in other people and puts it into play without being manipulative." - Bob Dylan
"Jack of All Trades Master of All of Them" -The Sunday Times
"He's the musician's musician." -Rolling Stone.
