Mick Fleetwood has announced a new fall tour with the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band, which consists of bassist Lenny Castellanos, keyboardist Mark Johnstone and guitarist vocalist Rick Vito.

"Over my career I've been called a pop star and a rock star, yet in my inner heart, I will always be part bluesman.

On my journey from blues to a life of rock 'n' roll, I've always remembered where I started," explained Fleetwood.

"A lot of guys can play the licks, but Rick has the tone and that's so important in real blues. . . .

Any bassist who plays with me has big shoes to fill."

Fleetwood promises a set list divided between originals, covers and cuts from Fleetwood Mac's early years.
