Hall & Oates Do It For Love
Veteran blue-eyed soul singers Daryl Hall & John Oates are looking ahead to another summer out on the road. Their tour launches July 19 with a two-night stand at the Trump Marina in Atlantic City, N.J., and heads out West from there. Dates stretch through the beginning of October.
Special guest Todd Rundgren hops onboard beginning August 9 and sticks around for the rest of the month.
Along with announcing new tour plans, Hall & Oates are releasing their first single in five years, “Do It For Love.” The song is featured on the VH1 Behind The Music: The Daryl Hall & John Oates Collection album.
In addition to their new single, Oates has been working on a solo album set for release August 8. Titled Phunk Shui, the album is Oates’ first solo project and features the talents of former Wings drummer, Steve Holly; T-Bone Wolk on guitar and bass; co-producer Jed Leiber on keys; and Oates tackling the guitar and vocal duties. Together, they form the band, also titled Phunk Shui.
With a career that spans more than 30 years and 17 albums, Hall & Oates rank among the top vocal duos. Their hits include “Rich Girl,” “Maneater,” “Private Eyes,” and “Sara Smile.”
