Tony Lowe flew into San Francisco in September to record at the amazing TRI Studios as part of Simon Townshend’s band with additional members Scott Devours and Dave Beste. The first video, streamed on September 18th, is just a taster as more will be released alongside The Who’s upcoming Quadrophenia Tour. The band received a great reaction at TRI Studios and fit in an appearance on the Saturday night at The Boom Boom Room in San Francisco playing to an animated and exctited crowd. Back in the UK, the band performs just four more shows this year. Next up is the Looe Festival in Cornwall on Sunday 23rd September. The Fiddler’s Elbow in Camden, London on the 28th and two dates in Wales in December; The Factory in Porth on the 20th and Portmeirion on the 21st. See Simon’s Gig Page.

Tony is back in the studio to finish the recording of a new project, just signed to the Sunn Creative label.
