Grammy-nominated guitarist Eric Gales has just flipped the switch on ticket sales for his much-anticipated summer tour. Known for his fiery fretwork and soul-stirring riffs, Gales is inviting blues aficionados worldwide to secure their spots for a series of live performances via his official website.
Early Life And Rise To Blues Stardom
Born in Memphis in 1974, Eric Gales cut his teeth on guitar at the age of four, inspired by his musically gifted family. A house fire at age three left him with partial vision loss, but Gales turned adversity into fuel for his craft—earning early praise as a child prodigy. By his teens, he’d recorded debut albums and shared stages with blues heavyweights. Over three decades later, he’s a fixture on the blues-rock circuit, earning multiple Blues Music Award nominations and securing a dedicated global fan base.
Recent Tour Announcements
On Instagram, Gales (@ericgalesband) posted a vibrant shot of himself mid-solo, captioning: “Come on and jam out! Get your tix at ericgales.com.” That brief nudge follows months of teaser posts outlining his summer itinerary. In May, he teased a Virginia stop—”Virginia is for the Blues 💙 What’s up Wytheville? The band will be bringin the noise June 20th. Tickets on sale now, but won’t be for long! 🎟 ericgales.com”—while a separate post invited fans to June 19th at The Rams Head: “Ready for a good time? The Rams Head always delivers man! The band will be jammin June 19th so go on and get them tix: ramsheadonstage.com.”
Looking ahead, Gales is also booked for Labor Day weekend at Kitsap Music Fest alongside funk-rocker Kingfish, hinting in August: “I got your labor day plans right here. Playin with the big dawg @callmekingfish at Kitsap Music Fest. Summer’ll be over before you know it—get your tix https://bit.ly/44BmkIk.” And international fans haven’t been left out: a recent Australian announcement read, “Listen up! THIS FRIDAY—The band is belting the blues in Broadbeach, Australia at Blues on Broadbeach 2025. So dust off and hit the road, it’s gonna be a helluva time.”
Gales’s summer schedule already spans at least half a dozen festivals and intimate club dates across the U.S. and abroad. From Wytheville’s community theaters to major Australian beachside stages, his lineup is as eclectic as his playing style—one that fuses traditional blues motifs with rock, jazz, and soul.
Fans eager for a taste of Gales’s signature sound can also revisit his 2023 album, The Bookends, acclaimed for its raw honesty and virtuosic solos. That studio effort, alongside favorites like “Middle of the Road” and “Strut,” has made live shows a must-see for guitar enthusiasts and blues purists alike.
With ticket sales now live at ericgales.com, the stage is set for one of the season’s most talked-about blues tours. Whether you’re chasing a festival wristband or a front-row seat at a club, Gales promises a high-voltage show that honors blues tradition while pushing its boundaries.
Summer’s heating up—and Eric Gales’s tour calendar is blazing right along with it—so don’t wait to claim your spot.
