YESTERDAY AND TODAY: Steve Miller performs at the 31st Annual Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on April 8, 2016.

Steve Miller Band announced a brief tour Monday that will take the rock band through Florida and a few other Southern states in March.

Kicking off March 12 at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Fla. and concluding March 24 at Bank Plus Amphitheater at Snowden Grove in Southaven, Miss., the tour will also stop in South Carolina and Alabama.

According to a press release, all tours dates will be billed as an “Evening with Steve Miller Band,” and thus will include no opening acts.

Miller hasn’t performed at several of the venues on his March tour, but one — Ruth Eckerd Hall — is particularly familiar territory. The rocker has performed there four times over the last decade, most recently selling 1,991 tickets for a gross of $191,998 in April 2017.

Since his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2016, the 75-year-old Miller has remained a road warrior, averaging a gross of $256,132 per concert over the last three years, per Pollstar data. In 2018, his successful co-headlining tour with Peter Frampton netted $7.4 million in North America — enough to land it on Pollstar‘s Year End Top 200 North American Tours.

“We’re not there to screw around,” Miller told Pollstar in an April 2018 cover story. “We’re there to play a lot of great music, live music, right in front of them, for real. No samples, no vocal loops or any of that kind of shit. Just perform and play real. Because we kept it real with our audience for 50 years, they keep coming back, I guess. God bless them.”
