Los Angeles, CA. – February 26, 2019 – George Thorogood and the Destroyers announce their “Good To Be Bad: 45 Years of Rock” tour, starting April 4th in Scottsdale, AZ. through August 3rd in Sturgis, SD, with additional dates forthcoming.
The group is beginning their fifth consecutive year of supporting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by donating $1 from each ticket sold on their “Good To Be Bad: 45 Years of Rock” tour to LLS. They will also continue donating 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of their LLS-branded Destroyers shirt to the organization.
In 2018, the band released a top-selling limited edition 7” single for Record Store Day, saw the 180-gram vinyl re-issues of their Bad To The Bone, Born To Be Bad and Greatest Hits: 30 Years Of Rock albums, and performed over 70 dates throughout North America on their “Rock Party” tour. Thorogood was presented the 2018 B.B. King Award from The Montreal International Jazz Festival, and his Party Of One album continued to be his fastest-selling disc in over 20 years.
It’s on tour that George & band flip the switch nightly, delivering what The Toledo Blade calls a “gut-bustin’, guitar-wailin’, face-meltin’, take-no-prisoners, good old-fashioned lunch bucket rock-and-roll show.” The Sacramento Bee says, “The Destroyers remain as they have been for years – Jeff Simon on percussion, Bill Blough on bass, Jim Suhler on guitar, and Buddy Leach on saxophone. They are without doubt one of the best touring bands in blues-rock history.” Or as Rolling Stone once raved, “George Thorogood & The Destroyers play rock & roll hot enough to melt the polar ice caps and flood the world’s major population centers.”
