George Thorogood Announces 50th Anniversary Tour with The Destroyers

To commemorate his 50th anniversary,  George Thorogood  is going on tour with his longtime backing band The Destroyers in 2023.

The North American leg of the Bad All Over the World – 50 Years of Rock Tour will include Thorogood’s first Canadian dates in three years. Kicking off in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on Feb. 13, the tour will hit 15 cities before concluding on May 17 in Ontario. (More dates are expected to be added and announced soon.)

Thorogood, 72, played his first with Destroyers on Dec. 1, 1973, performing some of their classics like “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” and “Madison Blues.” At first, the band left the audience unimpressed, according to drummer Jeff Simon, the only remaining founding member of the band.

“It was like someone flipped a switch,”  said Simon . By the second set, the dance floor was packed. “After the gig,” Thorogood added, “Jeff and I thought, ‘Maybe we’re onto something.’”

Thorogood recently cited Simon with helping to shift the direction of the band in a positive way. “I was a little too serious,”  said Thorogood  in a 2022 interview. “Jeff was trying to lighten me up a little bit, saying, ‘You know, George, there’s only one Taj Mahal. There’s only one John Hammond.’ Jeff said, ‘Be George. Be what you are.’ He was the one who encouraged me and helped me to find myself as a performer.”

Also backed by long-time Destroyers Bill Blough, Jim Suhler, and Buddy Leach, the Bad All Over The World Tour is a celebration of 8,000 live shows, and 15 million records sold.

“From that very first show, we’ve stayed true to ourselves and the music we love,” said Thorogood, who released his most recent, and 11th album with The Destroyers,  2120 South Michigan Ave  in 2011 and his debut solo album,  Party of One , in 2017. “We’ve decided to celebrate our first half-century by throwing the biggest and baddest rock party ever.”

The starting point for the powerhouse rock band came on December 1 1973, when Thorogood, drummer Jeff Simon and their rhythm guitarist loaded their equipment into Simon’s Volkswagen bus and drove to Lane Hall at the University of Delaware. As a three-piece, they played such covers as “No Particular Place To Go,” “Madison Blues,” and “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.”

Simon recalls that the audience was wary of them at first, “then it was like someone flipped a switch.” By their second set, the dance floor was packed. Adds Thorogood: “After the gig, Jeff and I thought ‘Maybe we’re onto something.’” It was the first ever performance by George Thorogood & the Destroyers.

Nearly 50 years later , after more than 8,000 live shows and album sales of 15 million, Thorogood and Simon will hit the road again with longtime Destroyers Bill Blough, Jim Suhler, and Buddy Leach. “From that very first show, we’ve stayed true to ourselves and the music we love,” says Thorogood. “We’ve decided to celebrate our first half-century by throwing the biggest and baddest rock party ever.”

George Thorogood Announces 50th Anniversary Tour for 2023

George Thorogood will celebrate his 50th anniversary in 2023 with an extensive tour. The Bad All Over the World – 50 Years of Rock trek will include the guitarist's first Canadian dates in three years.

A list of currently announced dates can be found below, with more shows expected to be added.

Thorogood played his first gig with longtime backing band the Destroyers on Dec. 1, 1973. Drummer Jeff Simon, the only other remaining founding member of the group, remembered quickly overcoming the crowd's initial disinterest with a set that featured future classics such as "Madison Blues" and "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer."

"It was like someone flipped a switch,” he recalled in a press release. By the second set, the dance floor was packed. "After the gig,” Thorogood added. “Jeff and I thought, ‘Maybe we’re onto something.’”

As Thorogood told UCR in 2022, it was also Simon who helped shift the group's direction in an important way. "I was a little too serious. Jeff was trying to lighten me up a little bit, saying, 'You know, George, there’s only one Taj Mahal. There’s only one John Hammond,'" he recalled. "Jeff said, 'Be George. Be what you are.' He was the one who encouraged me and helped me to find myself as a performer."

George thorogood & the destroyers announce 2023 50th anniversary tour.

Posted by Buddy Iahn | Dec 1, 2022

Bad All Over The World – 50 Years of Rock kicks off Feb 2023

On December 1st, 1973, a guitarist, a drummer, and their rhythm guitarist loaded their gear into the drummer’s Volkswagen bus and drove to Lane Hall at The University of Delaware. In a week that saw new albums by Wings, Black Sabbath, and Bachman-Turner Overdrive, the three-piece band proceeded to play covers that included “No Particular Place To Go,” “Madison Blues” and “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.” The drummer, Jeff Simon, recalls the crowd was wary at first, “then it was like someone flipped a switch.” By the second set, the dance floor was packed.

“After the gig,” the guitarist says with his now-familiar grin, “Jeff and I thought, ‘maybe we’re onto something.’” It was the first-ever performance by George Thorogood & The Destroyers.

Five decades, more than 8,000 live shows, and 15 million albums later, George Thorogood and Jeff Simon – with long-time Destroyers Bill Blough, Jim Suhler, and Buddy Leach – now announce their Bad All Over The World – 50 Years of Rock Tour. The trek starts on the Rock Legends Cruise X in February before officially opening with two shows in Lincoln City, OR on March 17-18th.

“From that very first show, we’ve stayed true to ourselves and the music we love,” says Thorogood. “We’ve decided to celebrate our first half-century by throwing the biggest and baddest rock party ever.”

Additional cities and tour updates are expected soon.

MUSIC SCENE: George Thorogood concert has a special opening act. See who it is

There’s excitement in the air with the acknowledged titan of blues and boogie George Thorogood headed to the area to cap off the summer music season with three shows over Labor Day weekend.  

But if those concerts feature a guitar dynamo in his fifth decade of providing the kind of insanely high-energy performances that made him a legend, they also include one of the young talents hoping to carry on that tradition.

When Thorogood headlines The South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset on Friday night (and then moves on to Indian Ranch in Webster on Saturday afternoon, and then hits The Cape Cod Melody Tent on Sunday night), his opening act will be Australian singer/guitarist Hamish Anderson . 

You might think opening for someone like Thorogood would be a daunting proposition, but setting the table for guitar legends is kind of old hat for Anderson. He’s spending most of this summer opening for either Thorogood or Gary Clark Jr., and he’s worked with both many times before.

Since coming to the United States about a decade ago, Anderson has opened for a wide array of famous names, including even B.B. King’s final tour. Anderson told us his last performance in the Boston area was opening a tour for The Rides, the super-group that included Stephen Stills and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.

“I opened what was actually quite a big tour of Australia by George Thorogood last year,” Anderson pointed out, when we reached him by phone at a California tour stop. “I know how lucky we are to be part of this amazing tour, and I’ve known George and his band for a long time. They bring us out every night to do the encore with them, and they treat us so nice in every way. Their audiences are also very much into the type of music we do, so it’s been wonderful.”

Anderson, 32, had gone home to visit family when the pandemic struck, so he was stuck there during the lockdowns while his band was in Los Angeles. That threw a monkey wrench into his plans, so these summer tour dates are Anderson's first U.S. shows since 2019, when he was promoting his sophomore album, “Out of My Head.” 

In the meantime, Anderson’s latest three singles (and their videos) are out, and “Morning Light” is a treat, a sort of chugging midtempo, spacey-side-of-the-Beatles tune. “Everything Starts Again” is a philosophical ballad, pondering the yin and yang of life and the need to press onward. One video shows Anderson playing it solo on a rooftop, while another shows a woman working out alone to it, and both evoke images of the lockdowns’ isolation and doubt.

“No one saw it coming when the pandemic hit, so I was just home for the holidays,” Anderson recalled. “I’d had plans to come back right away, but I was stuck in Australia, and Melbourne was very locked down. It was a ‘Twilight Zone’ sort of time, and I did a lot of soul-searching, as so many of us did.

"It’s horrible that it happened, but I think it reminded us all of what we were missing, and so now the music scene is rejuvenated. This year audiences are so excited to be back, and able to hear shows again, that every show I’ve done has been incredibly well received.”

Anderson is far from a Thorogood clone, or someone hoping to emulate guitar aces like Clark, and critics have compared him to rockers like Tom Petty or The Rolling Stones as often as they have to blues rockers. The latest singles would support that impression that his original material is classic rock as much as blues-rock.

“I think ‘Morning Light’ is an example of all those influences I have,” said Anderson. “It’s based in blues and rock ‘n’ roll, and I’ve always had a real affinity for the music of people like Tom Petty, T-Rex, David Bowie and, of course, The Beatles. You put it all in a blender and it comes out, hopefully, as your own original sound.”

With that second album about to drop, Anderson has also just finished his third album, due out in 2024.

“I think my third album really bridges the gap between my blues and rock ‘n’ roll,” he said. “Like George Thorogood took the sounds of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley and channeled it through the rest of his influences, my music takes all of my influences and turns them into something new.”

Anderson and his band use their opening set to prime the audience for the Thorogood fire to come.

“Opening for George, you always want to keep it uptempo,” he chuckled. “We have one soul ballad, and all the rest is uptempo, and we’ll be doing some new stuff too. But since George’s set is all very uptempo, we try to fit into that kind of energy level every night.”

Concert review: Alvin and Gilmore at The Narrows Center

These two kids are going places! That was the overwhelming impression music fans got Saturday night when the potent roots duo of Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore, with the Guilty Ones band, turned in a 2-hour, 15-minute barnburner of a show at the sold-out Narrows Center in Fall River.   

Alvin, 67, and Gilmore, 79, performed 20 songs in all, from their 2018 album “Downey to Lubbock,” to some new tunes from their forthcoming second album together, and other cuts from their lengthy careers.

Alvin had been battling cancer since 2020, and began playing out again in April. The group’s weekend in Massachusetts − they played City Winery in Boston on Friday, and were headed to Northampton for a Sunday show − concluded a 20-date Eastern swing. The Guilty Ones include guitarist Chris Miller, bassist Brad Fordham and powerhouse drummer Lisa Pankratz.  

As Alvin joshed at one point, the style of music the duo plays has been called many things, from punkabilly to contemporary folk, but Americana seems to fit best. Alvin has mainly played in roots-tinged rock bands, from The Blasters with his brother Phil to his own solo bands, while Gilmore has been seen as somewhere between country and folk, with his solo work and his legendary work with all-star quartet The Flatlanders.  

The combination of the two American roots music giants makes for some heady blends, but almost all of it carried a bluesy weight and subtle fire. And their witty repartee and song intros made it all seem like a cozy night in your living room with 475 friends.

The night began with their signature “Downey to Lubbock,” a gritty blues-rocker that works off their disparate musical backgrounds and is named for their hometowns. Gilmore took the lead vocal on the Flatlanders easy rolling favorite from the 1970s, “Tonight I Think I’m Going to Go Downtown.” Alvin had the spotlight for his dark tale of a ‘50s singer, “Johnny Ace Is Dead,” where the heavy bass tones reflected the true tragedy of the young man dying while playing Russian roulette.

More: Peaceful Meadows has a new owner. See who it is and what's planned.

The duo unveiled a tune Alvin had written with Terry Allen. Gilmore noted beforehand that he knows Allen well, and believes it is the first song he’s done that is not sarcastic. “The Death of the Last Stripper” was in fact a poignant ballad about a forgotten woman, with the pair trading verses starkly.

Gilmore provided another rambling but hilarious intro to “My Mind’s Got a Mind of Its Own,” a Flatlanders light-hearted romp that he admitted he didn’t write (Butch Hancock did), even though fans through the years − including poet Allen Ginsberg − have assumed it was his.  

Gilmore did write “Borderland,” the pair’s new single. He has a home in Terlingua, Texas, right on the border, and the reality of life there is much different than some slanted news channels portray it. The tune itself was a soaring rocker with twang and added impact from guitarist Chris Miller’s slide work.

Opening act Dead Rock West joined the band with stellar backup vocals for “Get Together,” the old Youngbloods’ hit, which is transformed into a rootsy anthem by Alvin and Gilmore. Alvin’s best-known hit, “The Fourth of July,” got a rousing rendition, with some of the guitarist’s most incendiary-yet-heartbreaking lines.

Gilmore turned the 1972 Flatlanders staple “Dallas” into roadhouse fun. And then the two delivered a new song, reflecting how both of them defy mortality and intend to keep doing so, and “We’re Still Here” was a triumphant mission statement.

The homestretch included a couple of tunes from the 2018 album, with “Surfer Girl” turned into a soothing ballad, and Merle Haggard’s “Mama Tried” getting Gilmore’s rowdiest vocal. A charge through the old Blasters hit “Marie Marie” featured Alvin on an extended guitar break that included an instrumental side trip to his own “Goodbye Baby So Long,” and expressive Gilmore harmonica accents. A brief “Downey to Lubbock” reprise ended the night in a gritty celebration.    

Dead Rock West − Cindy Wasserman and Frank Drennen − did a sublime 45-minute opening set, from their dazzling take on the Everly Brothers’ “Kathy’s Clown,” to the duo’s stunning a cappella “Chained to a Memory.” Gilmore joined them for the quirky “When I Leave, I’ll Be a Long Time Gone,” and later Alvin and his band joined them for a rowdy  “Burning House of Love.”

George Thorogood and the Destroyers

July 21, 2023

On the evening of December 1 st , 1973 at The University of Delaware’s Lane Hall, a guitarist, a drummer, and their rhythm guitarist set up on the small bandstand. Though the three-piece band had barely rehearsed, guitarist George Thorogood and drummer Jeff Simon had been bashing out covers of songs they loved – including ‘No Particular Place To Go’, ‘Madison Blues’ and ‘One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer’ – in suburban Wilmington basements since they were teens. The Lane Hall audience was wary at first. “Then it was like somebody flipped a switch,” Simon recalls. “Everybody hit the dance floor all at once.”

“We had the place rockin ’,” Thorogood says. “From that very first show, Jeff and I knew we were onto something.” Five decades, 15 million albums and more than 8,000 performances later, few bands can still rock the house like George Thorogood & Destroyers. And for Thorogood, Simon, and long-time Destroyers Bill Blough, Jim Suhler and Buddy Leach, their Bad All Over The World – 50 Years of Rock Tour will be a celebration like no other.

But when asked to pick a career highlight, maybe one night over the past half century that changed everything for George Thorogood & The Destroyers, he shakes his head, flashes a huge grin and heads off to soundcheck. “My highlight is when I step on that bandstand,” Thorogood says. “The promoters invited us, the fans came to hear us, and we’re ready to rock. Every night I play for people can be the biggest night of my life.”

About Hamish Anderson (Opener)

Australia’s Roots Rock artist Hamish Anderson has been generating global attention since 2013. In 2016 Hamish independently released his critically acclaimed debut album, Trouble, produced and mixed by Grammy-winner Jim Scott. “No Good,” “Breaking Down,” and “What You Do To Me” singles all received radio support - the latter reaching the #39 at Americana in 2019.

Also in 2019, The AGE/Sydney Morning Herald profiled him in advance of his Australian shows supporting Gary Clark Jr. Then, after touring the world, Hamish returned to Australia to open for George Thorogood & The Destroyers on his sold out tour. In 2020 Hamish’s sophomore album Out of My Head was awarded the Independent Music Award for Best Album - Blues category. Later that year, he was featured in Guitar Player Magazine (Aug 2020) which resulted in a cover mention as well. 

Throughout 2021 and 2022, Hamish released three singles “Morning Light” and "Everything Starts Again" and "Tea & Sympathy” all from his forthcoming album. Notably, "Everything Starts Again" spent several months in Top 40 AAA Radio in the US - debuting at #26. 

In 2022, he appeared at Blues on BroadBeach (AUS) for the second time and did eleven dates in support of George Thorogood & The Destroyers upon their return to Australia.

Now in 2023, Hamish is thrilled to announce his return to the USA on tour with George Thorogood marking his FIRST shows in America since 2019.

Some tours are good, some are great and some are “Bad To The Bone.”

George Thorogood and the Destroyers’ ‘Bad All Over The World – 50 Years Of Rock Tour’ is decidedly the latter.

“From (our) very first show, we’ve stayed true to ourselves and the music we love,” Thorogood said on Instagram .

“We’ve decided to celebrate our first half-century by throwing the biggest and baddest rock party ever.”

Over the course of 37 huge concerts, the legendary classic rockers/bluesmen will take their big and bad rock party to theaters, arenas and amphitheaters all over the U.S. and Canada.

That includes a number of gigs in the northeast.

First up, he’ll hit Big Flats, NY’s Tags Summer Stage on May 21.

From there, Thorogood and the Destroyers will drop into Ocean City’s Music Pier on Aug. 28 and Aug. 29 .

And we’re happy to report that ticket prices aren’t so bad to the bone themselves.

In fact, we found some for going for as low as $22 before fees on Vivid Seats.

That’s less than it would run you for “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.”

So, if you want to see Thorogood and his iconic guitar licks live this year, here’s everything you need to know.

George Thorogood 2023 tour dates

Thorogood and the Destroyers launch their tour with back-to-back shows on March 17 and March 18 at Lincoln City, OR’s Chinook Winds Casino .

Notable stops on the run following the two-night stay in Oregon include Las Vegas (March 25), Vancouver ( April 27-28 ), Bethlehem (May 20), Detroit (July 16) and Santa Fe (July 22).
