In the I want to cash in my my dead old man's name category, here's an email to famed concert promoter Johnny Gumbo from Ike Turner Jr's agent:
I am contacting you to let you know that IKE TURNER JR. & THE SECOND GENERATION are available for live shows after April 15th. This show is a complete retrospective of their family hits. IKE TURNER JR. along with his Dad, received Grammy's in 2006. IKE JR. has toured from 1990 to 2004 in South East Asia, Africa, the United States and Canada. For the last few years, he has been busy producing other artists. However, with his Dad's passing, buyers are looking to this show as the next best thing because the show is being done as a family affair. The show consists of the band THE SECOND GENERATION and 3 back-up singers are often referred to as "The Junior Ikettes". This is a moderately priced show with great hit power. Interviews, meet and greets and other types of promotions are encouraged. Ideal for special events and for situations such as clubs 400 to 800 seats, outdoor festivals (any size), casino showrooms of 800 seats or less and small theaters of 800 seats or less. Some new material will be introduced; however the show is predominantly an Ike & Tina Greatest Hits Show.
I will be keeping you up to date on other shows in the upcoming days. I am happy to send you photos of IKE JR. and The Junior Ikettes if you wish.
Kind regards, JOHN REGNA, Artist's Manager
Tina must love this!
