LITA FORD PUTS HER BEST “FOOT” FORWARD THIS SUMMER
Legendary Female Rocker Recruits Guitar Guru Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal for
Her Touring Band
Lita has added another dimension to her upcoming tour by enlisting
fellow guitar giant Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal to duty by playing in her
backing band.
“I’m really looking forward to getting out on the road with
Bumblefoot,” says Lita, who’ll break a 15-year touring hiatus with the
jaunt, which will be preceded by a slew of festival dates both in the
states and in Europe. “It only took a couple of practices before we
really connected -- and that hardly ever happens. I’ve played with
some terrific musicians, but this combination is really something
special.”
Lita should know something about the qualities that make a musician
special. Throughout a career that stretches back to her mid-‘70s work
with groundbreaking all-female punk pioneers The Runaways, she’s been
acknowledged as a masterful string-slinger by dedicated fans and peers
alike, with nods from the folks at The GRAMMY Awards and seven Metal
Edge Readers’ Choice Awards, among other kudos.
She opted to put that part of her life on hold in the mid-‘90s,
however, when she married fellow rocker Jim Gillette (best known for
his work in Nitro) and concentrated on raising sons James and Rocco.
The family went about as far from the glammy Hollywood rock lifestyle
as possible -- moving to a quiet Caribbean island where tending gardens
and fishing replaced headbanging and crafting guitar solos as pastimes.
“We’re at a point where we can take the kids out with us, and let them
be part of the action,” says Lita, who proudly points out that her sons
have never spent a night in the company of a nanny or a babysitter.
“My oldest is a really tough, cool kid. He’s 12 and he loves being a
roadie -- he’ll run across stage with my Gibson and work the place like
a total professional.”
Bumblefoot, of course, brings his own unique brand of professionalism
to the mix. After more than a decade of winning fans and influencing
players as a solo artist and session musician, the New Yorker bulldozed
his way into mainstream consciousness as the primary guitarist on Guns
‘N Roses’ Chinese Democracy -- a gig that didn’t get in the way of his
own prodigious release schedule, documented at www.bumblefoot.com.
“I was so impressed by the different styles I heard from him,” says
Lita, by way of explaining her decision to team with Bumblefoot. “He
can be really heavy one minute and totally subtle the next. It gives
us an extra dimension.”
Lita and her band -- besides Bumblefoot, the crew includes Trixter
bassist PJ Farley, drummer Dennis Leeflang and keyboardist Michael T.
Ross -- will treat fans to an incendiary blend of classics from her
catalog and soon-to-be fan favorites from her loud ‘n’ lusty new album,
Wicked Wonderland, which is set for release this fall.
“Getting out on the road again is gonna be such a trip,” says Lita.
“It’s not like getting back on a bicycle -- it’s more like going back
to the gym and starting to really work out again after a long break.
But I’m definitely in shape and back up to lifting the heavy weights
again. It’s gonna be a blast for everyone.”

KINGDOM BOUND AT DARIEN LAKE THIS AUGUST 2-5
Buffalo, N.Y. (June 19, 2009) - Kingdom Bound Christian Music Festival will offer attendees great value for their money this August 2-5 at Darien Lake Theme Park Resort with over 80 inspiring concerts and seminars. Internationally-known, multi-platinum selling artists Salvador, Casting Crowns, Israel Houghton, and Newsboys will be nightly headliners at the park's open-air Performing Arts Center in Darien Center, New York, halfway between Buffalo and Rochester.
"Sunday night, August 2nd, Salvador will kick things off with a Latin-tinged 'praise party,' Monday night will be Casting Crowns featuring men and women in a band that will have everyone singing along, Israel Houghton's style brings together people from different races and ethnicities on Tuesday night, and Wednesday night's concert by Newsboys will be a rock show that's quite the spectacle, so I expect this year's Kingdom Bound will appeal to a very broad audience," says Mark Weber, of ChristianMusicDaily.com.
Kingdom Bound, one of North America's largest and longest running events of its kind, typically attracts about 55,000 people from all over the United States and Canada for four days of faith, fun, and fellowship through concerts and seminars.
"This year, people are being extra careful with how they spend their money. For as little as $135 per person, Kingdom Bound attendees get access to Darien Lake's more than 40 rides and attractions including a water park, and more than 80 concerts and seminars, plus on-grounds accomodations for four nights," says Weber. "Staying on grounds for the entire festival is a great value for your vacation. Lots of people are dusting off their tents this summer because it's so affordable."
Kingdom Bound starts on Sunday evening, August 2, and continues through Wednesday evening, August 5, culminating in a concert by longtime festival favorite, the Newsboys. Other musical guests at this year's festival include Blues Counsel, Bluetree, Ceili Rain, DecembeRadio, Downhere, Elias, Everyday Sunday, Family Force 5, Fireflight, Francesca Battistelli, Hawk Nelson, Hello Kelly, Jason Upton, Laura Story, Lenny LeBlanc, Manafest, Manic Drive, Matt Maher, Matthew West, Mitch McVicker, Natalie Grant, New World Son, Paul Baloche, Phil Joel, Pillar, Relevant Worship, Red, Remedy Drive, Robin Mark, Sanctus Real, Since October, Skillet, Unspoken, and We As Human. Speakers will include: Wes Aarum, Keith Davis, Jerry Gillis, Bob Lenz, Ryan Loos, Justin Lookadoo, David Nasser, Dr. Matthew Sleeth, and Brett Ullman. In addition, this year's Kingdom Bound will feature an Urban Worship night on Sunday, along with several guest "Holy Hip-Hop" artists.
Kingdom Bound 2009 event or day pass tickets are now on sale, and include admission to the majority of Darien Lake's amusement park rides. Specially-priced "after 5pm" tickets are available for commuters. Campsite/RV/Hotel packages are also available. Call 800-461-4485 or visit http://www.kingdombound.org/ today for more information, tickets, or reservations.
