Dave Stewart, Social Room, Lilliput, Picnic

The legendary co-founder of Eurythmics Dave Stewart is coming home in a live concert celebrating his 65th birthday!

Dave Stewart says ‘I’m looking forward to playing lots of the hit songs I’ve written over the years in the legendary Sunderland Empire. I was born and grew up in Sunderland and have many great memories about my life there (I’m sure more will come flooding back). I was a struggling musician as a teenager in Sunderland so I chose to invite the three young local bands below to perform before me.’ The bands are Social Room, Lilliput and Picnic.

Dave performs with his Nashville all-star players Chad Cromwell (Drums, previously played for Neil Young, Stevie Nicks, Mark Knopfler, Joe Walsh), Tom Bukovac (Guitar - Hank Williams Jr., Sheryl Crow, Don Henley), Dan Dugmore (Steel Guitar - Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Stevie Nicks, Loretta Lynn) and Michael Rhodes (Bass - Martina McBride, Buddy Guy, Lady Antebellum).
