Mike Tramp readies Nomad

Mike Tramp has confirmed the launch of solo band album Nomad on August 28.

It’s the completion of a trilogy he began with Cobblestone Street in 2013 and continued with Museum last year.

The former White Lion singer states: “With this album I have done and said it all. I am going nowhere else.”

In March he told Classic Rock of the album: “It’s a natural progression, but it’s for sure a pure rock album. The word ‘acoustic’ will not be part of the description.”

He plays a run of UK and Ireland shows in September as part of a wider European tour:

Sep 9: Sutton Diamond

Sep 10: Edinburgh Bannermans

Sep 11: Glasgow Classic Grand

Sep 12: Ballymena Diamond

Sep 13: Cork Roundy Bar

Sep 17: Evesham Iron Road Rock Bar

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
