Classic Rock Legends Wishbone Ash Set 2013 North
America Spring Tour

Danbury, CT - Wishbone Ash, one of the most influential guitar
bands in the history of rock, kicks off the North American leg of their 2013 tour on
February 28. The group returns to these shores following a successful spring tour
last year to celebrate the release of their highly acclaimed studio album, 'Elegant
Stealth', and on the heels of the 'RoadWorks 3' release, a collection of live
performances.

During the Elegant Stealth Tour of 2012, Wishbone Ash played to full
houses in the Northeast and Midwest. The upcoming North American Tour features many
familiar venues plus several new stops, including dates on the West Coast and in
Canada.

Released in November 2011 by ZYX Music, 'Elegant Stealth' represents a
benchmark in the evolution of Wishbone Ash. Signature twin-lead melodies and a
powerhouse rhythm section frame 11 new tracks that reflect a diverse realm of styles
and moods.

Formed in 1969, Wishbone Ash has more than 20 original studio recordings
and several live albums to their credit. On Elegant Stealth, the group coalesces
around strong songwriting and serious chops. Founding member Andy Powell handles
lead vocals and trades licks with Finlands guitar wizard Muddy Manninen. Bassist
Bob Skeat, a 15-year veteran of the band and in-demand studio musician, sets the
pace with Joe Crabtree, one of the best of Britains new breed of drummers,
having played with Pendragon and David Cross of King Crimson. The band demonstrates
its versatility on 'Elegant Stealth', from the pop/rocker Reason to Believe
to the gentler vibe of Give it Up to tunes like Warm Tears and Big
Issues, where the band gets to stretch out and flex its musical
muscles.

Classic Rock Revisiteds Jeb Wright called 'Elegant Stealth' one of
the best albums in Wishbone Ashs 42 year career.

 .com said, This band is like a fine wine that just keeps getting better with age and this is one of their strongest studio releases in
years.

The songs are catchy, very technical, but there is a soul in what
Wishbone Ash is doing! said Mark Kadzielawa of 69 Faces of Rock.

Citing Wishbone
Ash as an influence on their style, Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden, Southern Rock outfits
like Lynyrd Skynyrd and, more recently, heavyweights like Opeth and some of the
guitar- based Indie/Alternative bands, have all taken a little something from the
legendary twin-guitar approach of Wishbone Ash. Truly, there is no other rock band
on the planet that has done more with the twin guitar concept than the Ash.
