AEROSMITH's STEVEN TYLER Announces 'Out On A Limb' Summer Solo Tour

Steven Tyler will embark on the “Out On A Limb” solo tour in early July. The 19-city trek will see the AEROSMITH singer backed by his Nashville-based band LOVING MARY and will include stories from Tyler‘s childhood, his time with AEROSMITH and his new headquarters in Nashville.

“What would I not pay to go see [Paul] McCartney, but instead of playing with whoever he’s with now, actually do (a show) where he tells you what he was thinking when he wrote ‘Yesterday’?” Tyler told USA Today. “That’s what I’m doing. I figured I’d talk about ‘Sweet Emotion’ and ‘Dream On’ and where I was when I wrote it, and ‘Seasons Of Wither’ and how I played it.”

The first “Out On A Limb” performance took place Monday, May 2 at David Geffen Hall in New York’s Lincoln Center and benefitted Janie’s Fund, the AEROSMITH frontman’s charitable initiative helping girls overcome the trauma resulting from abuse and neglect. Named after the AEROSMITH song “Janie’s Got A Gun”, Janie’s Fund came to life via a collaboration between Tyler and leading non-profit Youth Villages.

“I’m digging deep and finding some real buried treasure for this one,” Tyler said prior to Monday’s concert. “‘I’ve never performed quite like this before. I’m telling it like it is and getting to perform with some extremely talented musicians and dear friends from Nashville.”
