The Yardbirds, the band that spearheaded the British Blues Boom of the 1960s, and continues to inspire artists worldwide, is currently touring North America.

Electrifying, eclectic and way ahead of their time, The Yardbirds melded heavy rock, wild jams, and an improvisatory feel, birthing legendary songs like “Heart Full Of Soul,” “Over Under Sideways Down,” and the chart-topping “For Your Love.” The touring line-up includes critically-acclaimed original drummer/composer Jim McCarty, guitarist Ben King, bassist David Smale, and vocalist Andy Mitchell.

Chris Dreja, guitarist and co-founder, is recuperating at home from a series of strokes and regrets that he won’t be able to be a part of  this short tour. He thanks all his fans for their good wishes and looks forward to seeing them again when he hopefully re-joins the band later in the year .Unfortunately  his absence includes April 18 McPhillips Station Casino Winnipeg.  Please see  www.theyardbirds.com for more Yardbirds information.
