FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THURSDAY JULY 1, 2021 CARL PALMER’S ELP LEGACY ANNOUNCES ITS RETURN TO LIVE PERFORMANCES. ACCLAIMED MUSICIAN WILL PAY TRIBUTE TO EMERSON LAKE & PALMER FOR ITS 50th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. Legendary drummer and musician, Carl Palmer, has announced his first round of live shows, marking the return to live performances after a nearly two year hiatus as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic. Kicking off on Wednesday, September 1st., at Daryl’s Place in Pawling, NY, the initial run of shows will conclude on Sunday, September 12th., at the Orange Blossom Opry, in Weirsdale, FL. The initial US tour will be followed by Palmer’s European tour, before he returns for a second run of US dates in October and November. “The band and myself are very eager to get back on stages in America, and around the rest of world, where possible,” said Palmer. “The show will have some material we have not played in years, as well as ELP’s best loved material. Visually, we will include footage in the show that reflects the highlights of ELP’s career. We are hoping all will go as planned with the many shows we have in place between now and mid- November.” In addition to Palmer, the band still features Paul Bielatowicz on guitar and vocals; and Simon Fitzpatrick on bass and Chapman stick. Carl Palmer, who was voted by ROLLING STONE as one of the 10 Greatest Drummers of All Time, is a founding member of EMERSON LAKE & PALMER and ASIA. Since he began in the business in the 1960s Carl Palmer has sold over 50 million records! Since 2001, Carl has fronted a 3 piece power trio: guitar, bass, vocals, & drums doing the classically driven rock hits of ELP with NO KEYBOARDS. These dates mark the beginning of three year drive to promote the 50th Anniversary and beyond of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, whose sole surviving member is Carl Palmer. Also planned during the celebration period will be a limited edition expansive biography of the band; a new Palmer art collection based on the five main ELP studio albums; a documentary; KARN EVIL 9, a major Hollywood film (now in development with Radar Pictures) and a special tour announcement that will reunite Palmer in performance with the late Emerson & Lake through modern technology. "This tour is beginning of a three year agenda," explains Palmer. "There are many special celebrations of ELP that we will explain in detail in the near future."
