Guitarist and singer-songwriter, Troy Redfern, dubbed as Britain’s “King of Slide Guitar,” has been confirmed as DARE’s special guest on their 12-date October 2022 UK Tour. Tickets are available from www.thegigcartel.com and www.seetickets.com.
The news follows Troy’s support slot on When Rivers Meet’s April and May UK tour and precedes his highly anticipated new studio album slated for release in Autumn 2022.

Over the past 12 months, Troy has toured the UK several times supporting the likes of Robert Jon & The Wreck, The Quireboys, and When Rivers Meet.
In August 2021 Troy released of his critically acclaimed album The Fire Cosmic featuring the singles Waiting For Your Love, Ghosts, Sanctify and Stone. The album is available from www.troyredfern.com/shop.
The album was recorded at the legendary Rockfield Studios in North Wales, the same studio where Queen recorded all their early albums Sheer Heart Attack (1974) and A Night At The Opera (1975) – the latter featuring the legendary single Bohemian Rhapsody.
