**The Keith Emerson Band is back on tour! ***
After an extraordinary global reception the Keith Emerson Band returns to the United States, fulfilling a 2004 promise to tour the East Coast after a well received West Coast tour. During 2005, the Keith Emerson Band delighted audiences in Japan, Italy, Portugal and Spain with new renditions of classics, premiers of stunning new songs and a few marvelous surprises! The positive reception has brought the Keith Emerson Band band into the studio recording an all-new album slated for 2006 release. Watch for updates here and for early samples of this fabulous new work from Keith! A tour will support the album after completion. Keith has taken a break from recording to perform live. This brief American tour [and they will be back!] includes headlining the NEARFest festival in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, a well-regarded celebration of progressive rock from global artists familiar and new, and a return as the headlining act of Moogfest, which introduced US fans to the Keith Emerson Band in 2004. Moogfest celebrates long time Emerson friend and Moog inventor Bob Moog, who sadly passed away last year. Keith is honored to remember his friend by headlining this tribute once again. Solo shows are also scheduled. With this tour, Keith welcomes guitarist and vocalist Marc Bonilla back to the Keith Emerson Band family. A collaborator and friend for more than fifteen years, Marc has lent his expert guitar to an enormous range of different projects and styles. More on Marc coming soon! Drummer Pete Riley and Bass Player Phil Williams continue to add their rhythms and expertise to this tour, as they have since 2002. Guitarist Dave Kilminster is on hiatus, fulfilling another commitment. Watch for a return to Europe! The Keith Emerson band is back on the road and will continue to entertain, delight and surprise fans around the world. New dates will be announced as they are confirmed and the band promises that they will visit new countries and cities so all fans everywhere can enjoy the unparalleled experience of Keith Emerson live in action.

| Well, when some Dutch progheads wanted to go to the USA to see Keith Emerson live, I will think about that very seriously! |

Marc Bonilla has replaced Dave Kilminster on this tour, because Dave will be touring with Roger Waters this summer. ------------- THIS IS ELP
