NEW RINGO STARR ARTWORK EXHIBITIONS OPENING IN NYC, ATLANTIC CITY AND CHICAGO

June 5, 2014 – Rama ONT – Today Ringo Starr took a break from rehearsals with his All Starr Band (including Steve Lukather, Richard Page, Gregg Rolie, Todd Rundgren and Gregg Bissonette) to announce new tour dates and activity.

This incarnation of the All Starr band is the same line up he has played with since 2012, with the addition of Warren Ham, who will be given a warm All Starr welcome. Hamm will replace longtime All Starr Mark Rivera who is on tour with Billy Joel.

“I love playing with this band,” Ringo said, “and I can’t wait to get back out and play with them again.”

In addition to his music, Ringo Starr is also bringing his artwork to select cities. What started merely a diversion to pass the time, has since developed into an iconic collection of artwork. This year Ringo has created a unique set of ‘self portraits’ that truly showcases his evolution as a visual artist. June 19, 2014, there will be an opening VIP reception and exhibition of Ringo Starr’s art at Soho Contemporary Art Gallery  (www.sohocontemporaryart.com).  Ringo’s art may also be seen at the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago and Ocean Gallery in Stone Harbor , NJ. as well as online at www.RingoStarrArt.com

On July 7, Ringo will be celebrating his 74^th birthday in Los Angeles. He invites everyone, everywhere around the world to join him at Noon, their local time in a Peace & Love celebration. For those in LA, at Noon Ringo will join all those who choose to gather and share a Peace & Love moment in front of the Capital Records building.

On July 13 (8pm EST) AXS TV will premiere “RINGO STARR: A LIFETIME OF PEACE AND LOVE”  a once in a lifetime tribute concert event honoring Ringo by the David Lynch Foundation.  The show is packed with heartfelt moments & great performances from some of music’s biggest & breaking artists including Joe Walsh, Ben Harper, Ben Folds,  Brendan Benson, Bettye LaVette, The Head & The Heart and Jesse Elliot and Lindsey McWilliams of  Ark Life; with an equally stellar backing band featuring Don Was, Benmont Tench, Peter Frampton, Steve Lukather and Kenny Arnoff. This unique collection of musicians all came together to celebrate one of music’s greatest stars. The concert was shot on January 20, 2014 at the El Rey in Los Angeles and launched the Ringo Starr Peace & Love Fund, established as a division of the David Lynch Foundation (a 501c3 charity), to provide Transcendental Meditation instruction to tens of thousands of at-risk students in underserved schools, women who are survivors of domestic violence, and veterans with post-traumatic stress.  http://www.davidlynchfoundation.org/peacelovefund/
