Canegreen tour with legendary Stevie Wonder
Canegreen embark on a five week European Tour.
One of contemporary music’s most iconic stars, the legendary Stevie Wonder, has hit the road again across Europe with Canegreen. This follows his sensational sell out ‘A Wonder Summer Night Tour’ in 2008 which received amazing critical reviews. The tour, which is produced by Live Nation, began with a show at Dublin's O2 followed by performances in Hyde Park and a headlining show at the Glastonbury Festival.
Accompanied by no fewer than 10 talented musicians and three backing singers (not to mention seven drummers and a choir), the show is mixed at front of house by Danny Leake with Dwayne Jones mixing Stevie's monitors and Vito Tanasai looking after the band's monitors - all three using Digico SD7s.
Canegreen has a long standing relationship with Stevie Wonder, dating back to 1983 and a Canegreen MeyerSound system is providing the sound reinforcement for this european tour. On the festival dates, such as Glastonbury, Canegreen provide a monitors and control package. Stage risers for the tour are provided by SSE Risers.
The set touches on almost every element of Stevie Wonder's back catalogue - a catalogue featuring no less than 49 top forty singles and 32 number one hits.
There had been something of a drought for British audiences until 2008 when the Motown prodigy ended a 10-year stay away from the UK.
