Tim Ries will be touring with The Rolling Stones during their Hackney Diamonds Tour '24 in USA & Canada. Like in the past, Tim will be performing with his own band between Stones show dates, typically the day after the date of the Stones show in some cities.
Charlie Watts loved to sit in with Tim at several of the Tim Ries shows, being a jazz fan himself. The Tim Ries shows were often named "The Rolling Stones Project", as they did Stones songs with a jazz twist. Now they tour as Band2, the name of the backing band of The Rolling Stones.
The Tim Ries shows this summer are made in the memory of Charlie Watts, as most fans couldn’t be in NYC at the Blue Note, when Tim and his band did the Charlie Watts tribute.
So far there are four dates confirmed, while they are working on one to two more shows:
Wednesday May 8th-MIM in Phoenix, AZFeaturing Bernard Fowler, Darryl Jones, Chuck Leavell, Tim Ries and local artists Lewis Nash on drums and Stan Sorenson on guitar
Friday May 24th-Aman Hotel Jazz Club in NYCFeaturing Bernard Fowler, Darryl Jones, Tim Ries, and local artists Jeff Tain Watts on drums, Gary Versace on piano and organ and David Gilmore on guitar. This is the same band who played the tribute to Charlie 2 summers ago.
Friday June 21st, Dazzle Jazz in DenverBernard Fowler and Tim Ries + supporting artists to be announced soon
Friday June 28th, Martyrs in ChicagoBernard Fowler and Tim Ries + supporting artists to be announced soon
