Eddie Money has just announced 14 new dates, which see him and his band on the road through August. Money, who'll undoubtedly be adding more shows over the next few months, will now kick off his 2013 dates on February 23rd in Boca Raton, Florida and wrap things up on August 23rd in Santa Cruz, California.
Last year, Money celebrated the 35th anniversary of his 1977 self-titled debut album. Money says he didn't mind that he was never deemed a rock superstar like his original Columbia Records labelmates such as Aerosmith, Billy Joel, and Bruce Springsteen, despite his string of 1970's and '80s hits: "But y'know what, at that point in my career, getting to play with Santana at Madison Square Garden, or doing all those big shows -- or getting to open up for the Rolling Stones, or play with the Who at the Silverdome in Detroit. I couldn't really bitch and moan. It got to the point that we were shipping gold. And I was doing a show, in the old days, I was doing a 75 minute show for a $1,000 a minute, (laughs) pretty good money, you know?"
