(June 9, 2014 – New York, NY) To mark the great Les Paul’s birthday today, Richie Sambora has just announced three very special live performances in celebration of the icon’s pioneering legacy.

Richie Sambora Honors Les Paul will take place July 22nd (one performance) & July 23rd (two performances) at The Iridium, the famed club where Paul performed weekly for 12 years until his passing in 2009. These not-to-be missed shows promise to be impressive nights of authentic rock ‘n’ roll, celebrating the electric guitar sounds and versatility made possible by Paul’s inventive mind.

For fans that are not able to see these incredible performances in person, the July 23rd show will air this fall on Public Television’s Front and Center. All merchandise will benefit The Les Paul Foundation. http://www.lespaulfoundation.org
