He was a British teen sensation with The Herd. He was a hard rock hero with Humble Pie. He was an international phenomenon with a solo career that included the release of the multi-platinum 1976 album, Frampton Comes Alive - arguably the most successful live recording of all time. He’s guitar legend Peter Frampton, and he’s lighting up the Keswick Theatre on Thursday, August 27, 2009.A mainstay on the rock scene since the late 1960s, Frampton has enjoyed a career full of accolades and 20 Top Ten hits including 1970s guitar anthems “Baby I Love Your Way,” “Do You Feel Like We Do,” and “Show Me the Way.” He is particularly proud, however, of his 2007 all instrumental album, Fingerprints, which earned Frampton his first Grammy Award for “Best Pop Instrumental Album.”
“I’ve never done a complete collection of instrumentals,” the Britain-born, Cincinnati-based Frampton says. “This is something I’ve been needing to do for myself for a long time. I wanted to play with people from all over the world, and I wanted to make the selections as diverse as possible. I didn’t want to make a smooth jazz album where the rhythm section plays the same on every tune.”
Fingerprints features Frampton having exhilarating musical conversations with a who’s who of the pop world, including Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready and Matt Cameron, original Shadows Hank Marvin and Brian Bennett, Allman Brothers/Gov’t Mule slide slinger Warren Haynes, Nashville pedal steel virtuoso Paul Franklin and gypsy guitar maestro John Jorgenson. Peter is currently working on the follow up to this Grammy Award winning album to be released in January 2010.
