Recent tour reviews

Opening band was horrible. Victor Wooten's show was far too short. I was ok, but needed a keyboard player and lead guitarist. I have followed Mr Wooten's work for decades and I know what he is capable of. I honestly felt he was looking for a quick payday. And for $60 I expected more.

Any and everything that you may have seen of Victor on the net you would've seen it last night. Victor's known in the musician's world. He's a "Bass Master." He also brought along some of his students in his music clinic on this tour with him and his brothers and featured them on songs as well as some of their own compositions. It was a nice and educational show.

2/5. Went yesterday to his concert, it was expensive and he only played off an hour. I've been waiting to see this guy play for a while, and was willing to spend some money to see him. The venue in Manhattan (Iridium) is small and there a $15 minimum. I ended up paying $100 to see him play about an hour. They say never meet your heroes.

Victor Wooten & The Wooten Brothers Release “Sweat” as Reunion Tour Launches

Victor Wooten & The Wooten Brothers have unveiled an electrifying new music video for their latest single, “SWEAT,” the titular track from their upcoming album—their first in decades. The funky and fresh release arrived just before the Wooten brothers kicked off their highly anticipated reunion tour last night in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Fronted by the globally acclaimed bassist, author and music educator, Victor Wooten, The Wooten Brothers bring together a powerhouse lineup, including keyboardist Joseph Wooten, Roy “Futureman” Wooten, celebrated for his groundbreaking musical inventions such as the “Drumitar” and the “RoyEI” keyboard, and Regi Wooten. The brothers–who began making music together in their early years–have each pursued distinctive musical journeys and now, are reuniting for a groundbreaking collaborative album and tour, marking their first major collaboration since the passing of their brother, Rudy Wooten, in 2010.

Victor Wooten expressed his enthusiasm for the reunion tour earlier this year: “Being in a band with my brothers is the best thing for me. It’s like a family reunion every time we get together to play. They are my teachers, and I feel most at home with them. The music we are working on at the moment is a collection of new and old. We have songs that were recorded decades ago that have never been heard by anyone. We also have newer music that was recorded over the last year. It will be a nice collection of old and new. With the older music, we want to introduce the world to Rudy, our saxophone-playing brother who passed away in 2010. Be prepared to have your mind blown.”

Following the Tennessee tour kickoff, The Wooten Brothers will embark on a journey through the South and Northeast. Find a comprehensive list of tour dates and further details on tickets here .

Victor Wooten and the Wooten Brothers Announce Fall Tour with Rebirth Brass Band

by Jacob Uitti May 19, 2023, 8:41 am

Legendary bass player Victor Wooten along with his group the Wooten Brothers have announced an upcoming fall tour with the Rebirth Brass Band.

Videos by American Songwriter

The five-time Grammy Award-winning Wooten will be joined by brothers Joseph, Roy, and Regi Wooten on the tour, which kicks off on September 29 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and concludes in Buffalo, New York on October 14.

During his career, Victor Wooten has played with the likes of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones (as a founding member), Chick Corea, Dave Matthews Band, India Arie, Keb’ Mo’, and Cory Wong.

Joseph Wooten has been the keyboardist for the Steve Miller Band and has worked with Whitney Houston, George Clinton, Kenny G, and more. Roy Wooten is also a founding member of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. Regi is a bass-playing pioneer who has been compared to countless artists from Jimi Hendrix to Chuck Berry.

According to a press statement, “Together The Wooten Brothers bring an uncanny level of experience, originality and expertise to the stage. Playing together since childhood, the formidable group has shared stages with the likes of Curtis Mayfield, The Temptations, Ramsey Lewis, Stephanie Mills, War, and others.”

“Being in a band with my brothers is the best thing for me,” says Victor in a statement. “It’s like a family reunion every time we get together to play. They are my teachers and I feel most at home with them.”

This will be the brothers’ first tour together as a band since the death of their saxophone-playing brother Rudy several years ago. In the next year, The Wooten Brothers will release their first studio album in several decades. 

“The music we are working on at the moment is a collection of new and old,” adds Victor. ‘We have songs that were recorded decades ago that have never been heard by anyone. We also have newer music that was recorded over the last year. It will be a nice collection of old and new. With the older music, we want to introduce the world to Rudy, our saxophone-playing brother who passed away in 2010. Be prepared to have your mind blown.”

Cory Wong Adds Victor Wooten, More To Band Lineup For 2022–2023 ‘Power Station’ Tour

Cory Wong  has announced a long list of 2022–2023 tour dates in support of his April 2022 LP,  Power Station . The tour, divided into two sections, will feature a pair of new-look band lineups with featured guests like revered bassist Victor Wooten , charismatic Ripe vocalist Robbie Wulfsohn , and bluegrass singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist  Sierra Hull .

Each of the tour’s special guests has a noted connection to Wong. Sierra Hull served as a supporting act and frequent onstage guest during Wong’s early-2022  Cory & The Wongtones  tour . She also appeared as a featured guest on a recent episode of the YouTube variety show of the same name and collaborated with Wong on Power Station track “Over The Mountain”. Wulfsohn provided vocals on “ Light As Anything ” from Cory’s 2018 LP,  The Optimist .

Wooten made an impact on Wong long before the two actually met. In a YouTube video posted in early 2021, Wong reacted to an old video of Victor Wooten performing a solo bass  rendition of “Amazing Grace” from  Béla Fleck & The Flecktones ‘  Live at the Quick . In the clip , Wong explained how this particular live album “gave him permission” to pursue his own unique, “left-of-center” musical ambitions. Victor Wooten later responded to Cory Wong in a post of his own : “Thank you for taking the baton and running with it,” he said. “You’re the leader now.”

Victor Wooten later appeared as a guest on the latest season of  Cory & The Wongnotes and contributed to  Power Station ‘s thumping “Direct Flyte”. The  Power Station  2023 tour dates will mark his first time performing live with Cory Wong in front of a full audience.

The fall 2022 leg of the tour, scheduled to begin in Kansas City, MO on November 2nd and wrap up in Austin, TX on November 19th, will feature a band augmented by Sierra Hull and Robbie Wulfsohn.

Cory Wong Releases New Live Album and Announces Tour With Victor Wooten

The Power Station Tour resumes in February featuring support from Victor Wooten

GRAMMY® Award-nominated songwriter, producer, and guitarist extraordinaire Cory Wong has shared THE POWER STATION TOUR (WEST COAST) , an all-new collection captured live on stage during his biggest US headline tour thus far. Recorded last November in a variety of iconic venues across the country, the 19-track album sees Wong joined by singer-songwriter mandolinist Sierra Hull and singer Robbie Wulfsohn (of Ripe) for a spectacular set that expertly showcases the tour’s singular energy and collective spirit. THE POWER STATION TOUR (WEST COAST) is available now at all DSPs and streaming services.

“ I’m a LIVE guy, ” says Cory Wong. “ I love the energy of live shows and that’s really where my band shines. There’s something special about a group of 10 musicians on stage giving it everything they’ve got with a packed room of people giving that energy right back. My live show is a balance of highly arranged material with jumping points that give ample room for exploration night after night. This album is a collection of our favorite journeys through each song. ”

LISTEN TO THE POWER STATION TOUR (WEST COAST)

Wong – who spent this past week sitting in on CBS’ Late Show With Stephen Colbert as special guest with Louis Cato & The Late Show Band – is currently set to embark on the next leg of the uniquely collaborative POWER STATION TOUR, this time joined by 5x Grammy Award-winning bassist Victor Wooten (Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, SMV) and special guests Trousdale. Dates get underway February 16 at The Pageant in St. Louis, MO, and then traveling into early March. Highlights include headline shows at Nashville, TN‘s Ryman Auditorium (February 17), New York City’s famed Beacon Theatre (February 23), and a sold-out hometown tour finale at St. Paul, MN’s Palace Theatre (March 4). In addition, Wong has slated a number of festival appearances through the summer – including New Orleans, LA – New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (April 29), Live Oak, FL – Echoland Music Festival (May 12), Chillicothe, IL’s Summer Camp Music Festival (May 26-28), Manchester, TN’s Bonnaroo (June 15-18), Saratoga Springs, NY’s Freihofer’s Saratoga Jazz Festival (June 24), Quincy, CA’s High Sierra Music Festival (June 29- July 2), and Snowshoe, WV’s 4848 Festival (July 13) – followed by an EU/UK headline tour with dates scheduled through October.

THE POWER STATION TOUR follows last year’s release of Wong’s explosive new album, POWER STATION , available now at all DSPs and streaming services.

Recently named by none other than Steve Vai in Guitar World as one of “ 5 Contemporary Guitarists Who Are Taking The Instrument To The Next Level, ” Wong celebrated the arrival of POWER STATION via the star-studded second season of his inventive online musical variety series, Cory and the Wongnotes , streaming now via the Minneapolis, MN-based artist’s hugely popular YouTube channel.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Moscow metro tour: architectural styles of the subway.

Duration: 2 hours

Categories: Culture & History, Sightseeing

This metro tour of Russia’s capital and most populous city, Moscow, is your chance to get a unique insight into the beautiful and impressive architecture of the city's underground stations. Admire their marble walls and high ceilings representing Stalin's desire for glory after World War 2, and see first-hand how the interiors change with the rise of new political eras. Your guide will lead you through the complex network, which is one of the most heavily used rapid transit systems worldwide, with over two billion travelers in 2011.

Opened in 1935, Moscow’s underground system, now 190 miles (305 km) long with 185 stations, is today one the largest and most heavily used rapid transit systems in the world. On this Moscow metro tour, discover the impressive architecture of Moscow’s underground stations and learn how they reflect the Soviet era.

Getting around by metro, your local guide will take you through parts of Moscow’s infamous history. Stop at stations built during the time of the USSR (Soviet Union) that are praised as one of the most extravagant architectural projects from Stalin’s time. After World War 2, he was keen on establishing Stalinist architecture to represent his rising regime and a recognized empire. Learn how when his successor started the de-Stalinization of the former Soviet Union in 1953, the extravagancy of the architecture was toned down.

Discover how the unique character of each station reflected several different eras. While stations like Kievskaya and Slavyansky Bulvar have pompous halls and high stucco ceilings brimming with extravagant decorations, those built later, like Volzhskaya, are lightly adorned with sparse furnishings. Architect Alexey Dushkin and painter Alexander Deyneka were just two of the many artists who made these magnificent landmarks possible.

Revel in Moscow's glory days, as well as the years of scarcity, on this fascinating Moscow metro experience. Conclude your tour at one of the central stations in Moscow. If you're lucky, you may even find the secret entrance to the unconfirmed Metro-2, a parallel underground system used by the government -- a mystery which has neither been denied nor confirmed today.
