World famous lead guitarist Daryl Stuermer gets set to rock the stage at the Hamilton Fine Arts Center (HFAC) on Jan 15 at 7:30 p.m.
Virtuoso lead guitarist Daryl Stuermer of the super-group Genesis and Phil Collins has been touring the world to sold out crowds since 1978, creating the signature guitar sound of the Phil Collins mega hits, including “In the Air Tonight” and “Easy Lover.” As co-writer of the Phil Collins 1989 Grammy Award Winning, Billboard #4 single “Something Happened on the Way to Heaven,” Stuermer continues to write music for his eight solo albums of original music and continues to cover his favorite Genesis tunes along the way. His new band, Daryl Stuermer-Genesis Rewired, is an exciting fusion of Stuermer’’s unique Genesis renditions and the soulful Collins-like voice of French-Canadian Martin Levac. Together with a five-piece band and sensational light show, they create an unforgettable evening that reinvents the Genesis experience. The concert is sponsored by the Hamilton Fine Arts Center. Tickets are for reserved seating. For more information, visit the Web site at www.urbanisland.com/genesis_rewired. Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors (55+) and $15 for students.
