BLACK STAR RIDERS Announce New Guitarist

30 November 2022

BLACK STAR RIDERS have announced that they have recruited WAYWARD SONS' Sam Wood to replace guitarist Christian Martucci (STONE SOUR), who left the group earlier this year.

Ricky Warwick had this to say, "I first saw Sam back in 2019 when Wayward Sons were guests to Black Star Riders and I was absolutely blown away! I had Sam join me for some Fighting Hearts dates a few months back and knew he was the guy for us.

"If ever there was a new Guitar Hero waiting in the wings, then it's Sam! Black Star Riders have had some of the world's finest guitar players in their ranks and Sam is truly up there as one of them. We couldn't be happier!"

Wood joins as the band prepares to launch their 10th anniversary tour of the UK next February that will include the return of guitarist Scott Gorham and original drummer Jimmy DeGrasso for the special trek.

The 10th Anniversary UK Tour will be kicking off on February 11th in Belfast with support from TRUCKER DIABLO, the remainder of the dates will feature special guests MICHAEL MONROE and PHIL CAMPBELL AND THE BASTARD SONS.
