Gary Wright, known for the hit singles Dream Weaver and Love Is Alive, will perform with Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band on his UK tour which starts Friday June 17th at Hampton Court. 2011 celebrates the 35th anniversary of Wrights album The Dream Weaver.
When the album was released in 1976, Wright toured extensively with Fleetwood Mac, Yes and Peter Frampton.

Formerly the lead singer of the British progressive blues rock band Spooky Tooth (1967-1974), American-born Wright embarked on a solo career in 1975, and was one of the first classic rock musicians to combine synthesizers with rock and funk.
