Mr. Big, anchored by bass genius Billy Sheehan, will be touring North America starting July 30th in San Diego, California. The trek, in support of their latest album What If, will mark the group’s first North American trek with it’s original members in 13 years.
Founded in 1988, Mr. Big’s original and current lineup includes Sheehan, guitarist Paul Gilbert, vocalist Eric Martin, and drummer Pat Torpey.
“It’s so great to be back with Paul, Eric and Pat too,” Sheehan said. “We wrote [What If] like we did in the old days for the first two records. Jamming together in the same room to write songs.”
