Tony MacAlpine will be hitting the road and touring the USA in May and June; confirmed dates are available at this location.
Tony MacAlpine Tour
- Thread starter MysticX9
- Start date
I know that the folks who don't live in major metropolitan areas will roll their eyes, but I have a serious first world problem here. The night that MacAlpine will be in Chicago for this upcoming tour is the same night that Eric Martin will be in town for his solo tour. Sometimes, it's just as bad to get all of the shows in your area as it is to get none of them!

I used to solve that issue by seeing if one of them are also playing Milwaukee on a different night. Can't do that anymore down in KC....
This lineup with Tony, Aquiles, and Bjorn has some great chemistry going, I'm looking forward to seeing them again at the end of May. Then again, I'm a much bigger fan of Tony MacAlpine than Eric Martin so it's easy for me to make a biased recommendation.

Oh, to have such problems......
I'd vote Tony every time; if it were Mr. Big instead of just Eric Martin, I might feel differently.....

I've seen Eric Martin's solo and acoustic shows before......both really awesome, he is a top showman. I don't think you can do wrong w/ either....I will be going to the Eric Martin show.

I think he's in town in june. Never seen a solo instrumentalist before so this will be a unique experience.

Mods....please change the title of this thread to "Tony MacAlpine or Eric Martin Tour...which should I choose?"
The first world problems of Chicago music fans are truly something, aren't they?
Actually, I noticed that MacAlpine will be in Indianapolis the night before he plays Chicago. If I take some time off from work, I could see MacAlpine in Indy on June 18th, then Eric Martin in Bolingbrook on the 19th, and finally go back to Bolingbrook on the 20th to see Lynch Mob! Problem solved!

Tony Macalpines gear stolen in Austin, TX, tour dates uncertain
Yesterday Tony Macalpine made an announcement on his Facebook page stating that while at at hotel in Austin, Texas, their trailer was broken into and that all of Tonys guitars were stolen. However, the list of stolen goods extends far past just his guitars, all of their basses, drums, some amps, pedals, and miscellaneous gear was also taken.
This incident has turned the whole tour upside down, with the possibly of not being able to continue at all. Luckily the band was able to perform by borrowing equipment last night, however the rest of the tour is up in the air.

It NEVER ends
I feel horrible for the band, and everyone else involved with this tour.
People who steal shit need to be flogged publically. With barbed wire for those who steal gear!

TONY MACALPINE - GOFUNDME CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED TO REPLACE STOLEN GEAR AFTER FANS OFFER DONATIONS
"...We are fortunate that our fans, fellow musicians, and endorsement companies have been able to loan us some of the gear to cover what was stolen so we can continue the tour. This however does not cover the considerable cost to replace the equipment long-term, or the high costs of shipping replacement equipment to us on the road.
Many of our very generous fans wrote to us asking where they could make a donation to get us back on track. We are deeply appreciative of these kind offers, so we decided to set up a GoFundMe campaign.
Thanks for your overwhelming show of support..."

He's already got all of what he asked for and more. Good to see he's got such a solid fanbase to help bounce back from that.
