STATELINE, NV (CelebrityAccess) – After a 20-year hiatus, Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade has announced its return with a 41-date Summer of Green Tour for 2023. The tour kicks off Wednesday, May 17 in Stateline, NV, and will be the band’s first appearance since the Summer of 2003.

The tour runs coast to coast hitting 41 cities with several festival appearances including the Summer Camp Music Festival, the Mountain Music Festival, the Peach Music Festival, and the Riverbend Music Festival.

Featuring Les Claypool (bass), Sean Lennon (guitar), Harry Waters (keys), Paulo Baldi (drums), Mike Dillon (percussion), and Skerik (horns), the set will include a full performance of Pink Floyd’s iconic tenth studio album Animals.

Some June performances will include a co-headlining set with Jerry Harrison and Adrian Belew of the Talking Heads. Additional support throughout the tour includes Fishbone, Neal Francis, Budos Band, W.I.T.C.H., and Moon Duo.

Formed by Claypool in the summer of 2000 during a short break from Primus, the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade made its debut appearance at the Mountain Aire Festival before embarking on several celebrated US tours. The band released two live albums in 2001, as well as a studio album Purple Onion in 2002.

“In an age of calibrated chaos, moral constipation, and conspiranoia, it is reassuring to know that certain frogs can and do fly. Let’s put it this way … I think, with Primus and without, I’ve played every music festival in the last ten years, except Lilith Fair,” he comments. “You could say I’m the guy who doesn’t fit in anywhere, but a little bit everywhere.” Claypool comments.
