Howard Jones is ditching the trademark synths to embark on an acoustic tour. The Howard Jones Acoustic Trio features Jones on electric piano, guitarist Robin Boult (Roger Daltrey, Dave Stewart, Fish) and Nick Beggs (Kajagoogoo, Belinda Carlisle, The Mute Gods) on Chapman Stick.
The band kick off a 13-date UK tour at the Bath Forum on 14 October 2022, promising to showcase stripped-down versions of tunes from throughout Howard’s extensive back catalogue. “I’m really excited about the Trio tour we have planned for 2022,” explains Howard. “Nick and Robin are dear friends and world-class musicians and I love performing with them. After touring the Trio in America, I thought the time was right for us to bring the fun of this acoustic show back home. I will play a range of songs from the HoJo canon including the hits old and new as well as some deep cuts and fan favourites.”
