Eric Burdon and "his wild new band of Animals" expand tour, add 2 City Winery shows in August

Having already sold-out two shows at City Winery in October, blues rock giants Eric Burdon & The Animals have added two more NYC stops at City Winery on August 8 and 9.

Technically, the group is calling themselves “Eric Burdon and his wild new band of Animals,” which features no other original members of the Animals. You can expect favorites from throughout Burdon’s career, be it the Animals (“House of the Rising Sun,” “We Gotta Get Out of This Place”), songs from Burdon’s time in War and his solo work. Burdon released his most recent solo LP, Til Your River Runs Dry back in 2013. On top of that, Burdon says they’ll be playing “some songs I’ve ­always wanted to sing and never got the chance to,” including ones by David Bowie, Randy Newman, Leadbelly, and Ian Dury.

Tickets for those two August City Winery shows are on sale now. All tour dates are listed, along with a stream of The Best Of The Animals (which was was recently remastered and pressed on clear vinyl), below.
