Frontiers Music Srl will release PAT TRAVERS BAND's newest live album titled "Live At The Iridium NYC" on January 23, 2015 in Europe and January 27 2015 in North America. Toronto-born Pat Travers is truly a swaggering hard-rock axeman he picked up his first guitar after a Jimi Hendrix performance in Ottawa. His debut album was released in 1976, and while his most successful releases like "Makin' Magic" and "Crash And Burn" are now more than 30 years old, he never consigned himself to the nostalgia circuit. In 2012 PAT TRAVERS BAND made a comeback with a new lineup which saw the return of drummer Sandy Gennaro behind the skins and a new record, "Can Do", released the following year. A great release which saw Travers and his band playing better than ever! In the tour that leadup to the release of that album, he picked the right venue for this celebration of a new live CD, "Live At The Iridium NYC". Pat says: "The two shows that we played at the Iridium Club in February 2012 marked the first time I ever really felt totally comfortable and 'at home' in the 'Big Apple.' The people at the Iridium just made us feel like we were honorary New Yorkers. It was awesome. "Having done an extensive European tour at the end of 2011, a Caribbean Cruise Ship gig and a bunch of concerts at the beginning of the year, the band was on fire. So being able to record a set at the Iridium in New York City was the perfect venue and time to capture the PAT TRAVERS BAND at their smoking best. We were fortunate to have Jon Paris join us on 'blues harp' for two classic tunes and he just tore it up and showed us all how the blues is really done." Check out a trailer for the album below.
