“He has a presence as a frontman that few can rival, and I’m looking forward to learning from him every night on the road. “As an artist, both the musician and filmmaking side of me is honored to be able to hit the road with Geoff,” says Deimer. They will hold down direct support duties from September 8 through October 15, and again November 5-22, when the legendary frontman will be performing the Queensryche albums ‘Empire’ and ‘Rage For Order’ in their entirety across North America. With Phil X set to officially split his time between Bon Jovi and Kurt Deimer, and Chris Lord-Alge at the helm in the studio, Kurt and his band will embark on their first tour this fall, opening for Geoff Tate. "We thought ‘Cigar’ was a great way to introduce ourselves before we start unleashing our new material in September - not only is it an homage to a band I love, but even more importantly, it’s an introduction to a side of Phil X’s playing that nobody has seen before. The song is the precursor to a six-track EP of all-original material to be released this fall, all of which is co-written by Deimer with Phil X and Lord-Alge.
“Have A Cigar” is produced by famed producer Chris Lord-Alge, and the video is directed by Lance Rand. “The song is apropos because, after having been through a lot of trials and tribulations to get to this point, we are all coming together as a team…” says Deimer, quoting the Floyd canon.
“Have A Cigar” premiered today on the Apple Music Breaking Hard Rock playlist, and the video has been unveiled via Kurt Deimer’s YouTube channel. (Los Angeles, CA) - Kurt Deimer is proud to announce the release of his debut single and video, a cover of the Pink Floyd classic “Have A Cigar.” The release is the culmination of a busy week for Deimer, who revealed his creative partnership with Bon Jovi guitarist Phil X on Monday, and on Wednesday announced he’d be direct support for Geoff Tate on the road this fall.
