KASIM SULTON ANNOUNCES SPRING EAST COAST TOUR DATES STARTING APRIL 5
Kasim Sulton has announced a Spring East Coast tour in support of his new album, entitled Live Bootleg, recorded
in 2015 at The Cutting Room in NYC and Hotel Utah in San Francisco. Scheduled for a February release, pre-orders for
Live Bootleg -- which features Kasim Sulton solo material and Utopia songs -- are being accepted now via www.pledgemusic.com. After the release, copies can be purchased on iTunes, Amazon, and through www.KasimSulton.com.
For the East Coast run which kicks off April 5th in New York City, the vocalist, songwriter, and bass player from Todd Rundgren's Utopia, Meat Loaf, and Blue Oyster Cult and his band will perform songs from his four-decade long career. After spending 2016 touring on and off with Blue Oyster Cult and Todd Rundgren, Sulton is looking forward to taking the stage with his band.
"As much as I enjoy playing with other acts, Blue Oyster Cult, Todd Rundgren, Ringo Starr, and a few others, nothing gives me more joy than doing my own shows," says the Staten Island native. "There is something so satisfying when I step onstage for a solo show and I get to play my own music for the fans. For the upcoming shows in April I'll be joined by Richie Castellano on guitar (BOC) and Danny Miranda on Bass (Queen, Meat Loaf), along with Andy Ascolese on Drums. These are all top shelf musicians that I'm very excited about playing live with." Expect more tour dates to be announced in the coming months.
"Kasim Sulton has always had a knack for making good music seem effortless," writes Goldmine Magazine's Mike Greenblatt.
Standing Room Only, Northern New England's Music, Arts, and Dining Guide, reviewed Kasim's show at the Hotel Utah in San Francisco with writer Joe Milliken:
"In June, a select few of a select audience were in attendance to witness Kasim Sulton's first ever solo performance in San Francisco at the Hotel Utah, a very small club in the heart of San Francisco. Kasim invited legendary Bill Spooner to do the opening set of songs and Kasim completed the second set. Kasim has played in San Francisco many times with Todd Rundgren and Blue Oyster Cult, but the chance to see this amazing performer and his million-dollar smile less than 20 feet away.... was an opportunity for which the fans lined up early. For those who don't know, Kasim is a musician employed to play bass, guitar, keyboards, and sing like an angel. Kasim has appeared on albums by Meat Loaf, Utopia, Joan Jett, Indigo Girls, Patty Smith, Steve Hillage, Tom Robinson Band, Rick Derringer, and Shaun Cassidy. Obviously, when you bring a great performer together with great songs, you are sure to be in for a wonderful evening of entertainment and Kasim didn't disappoint. He sang without flaw, he charmed the pants off the audience and gave the painting I am sure he has hidden somewhere, another go 'round the sun. He sparkled as he moved between the guitar and singing, to the piano and singing and back again. He worked the crowd like we were his best friends. And at the Hotel Utah, Kasim had friends both on stage and in the audience. There were celebrities as well as life long fans in attendance. Dave Mead from The Tubes and author/musician Paul Myers were spotted. In fact, Mr. Myers was later brought up on stage to close out with, "One World"... oh yeah. The master performer singing the song of a matchless songwriter is bound to be pure excitement on the stage. In our case at the Hotel Utah, Kasim proved it to be true. He rendered his own songs with an energy that would fill a stadium, his covers were equally his possessions. Bill Spooner is a songwriter and performer with his own history that reaches back five decades. Mr. Spooner has his own portfolio which includes FM radio hits and personal love songs. Bill's previous bands are numerous but include the Beans, the Sponge Mummies, The Folk Ups, and The Tubes. Tonight one after another, Bill and Kasim brought their magical combination of performer, songwriter, and entertainment to the stage at the Hotel Utah. Both Kasim and Bill were in bands that include Prairie Prince, the tippy-top shelf drummer who, as a musician, has worked from B to X (Tommy Bolin - XTC). Both Kasim and Bill asked their bandmate to accompany them, individually and together, on some very amazing songs. Amazing songs that anyone would want to sing."
