Not a Cover Band: The Band! David Bowie Alumni Tour Coming to the Orpheum

The David Bowie Alumni Tour has returned and it’s coming to the historic Orpheum Theatre on Thursday, February 7.

This unforgettable evening of David Bowie’s songs features keyboardist and bandleader Mike Garson and fellow key alumni musicians of Bowie’s bands from across the decades.

Expect powerful performances from Garson, EarlSlick, Carmine Rojas, Charlie Sexton and Mark Plati, plus world-class vocalists such as Bernard Fowler and Corey Glover, with additional guest vocalists on various dates including Bowie alum Emm Gryner, Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated Evan Rachel Wood, Grammy nominee Gaby Moreno and many more.

The band also features legendary guitarist Earl Slick, who worked on landmark Bowie albums such as Diamond Dogs, Young Americans and Reality; and Bowie’s Let’s Dance/Serious Moonlight Tour bassist, Carmine Rojas. Between them, they have over 30 years of experience recording, writing, and playing live with Bowie.

When the band was featured on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon“, members explained to Fallon,

“It’s not a cover band, it’s the band! It’s the actual band, so when you’re there it sounds as close as you’re going to get to Bowie.”

“We’ve added a bunch of new songs from David we haven’t played in the past including Cracked Actor, Sweet Thing/Candidate, TVC 15 and more. The big Bowie fans have been asking for some of these deeper tracks along with the wide array of hits from across the decades.
