ALBANY - Original Talking Heads member Jerry Harrison and noted touring member Adrian Belew have announced they will bring their popular ‘Remain In Light’ concert on the road in 2023, in celebration of the band’s iconic 1980 record. 

The 19-date tour kicks off in Denver on Feb. 16 and stages a show at Empire Live in Albany on March 8.

Harrison and Belew will perform songs from the early 1980s period of the band’s history, and will be joined by a powerhouse band, including former members of Turkuaz, Julie Slick on bass, and Yahuba Garcia-Torres on percussion. 

Harrison played keyboards with The Modern Lovers in the early 1970’s (“Roadrunner, Roadrunner, Going faster miles an hour… with the radio on” if you don’t know), and joined the Talking Heads in time for the recording of the now-four-piece combo’s debut LP, “Talking Heads ’77.”  Belew worked extensively as a session, guest and touring musician with numerous artists and ensembles, including the Talking Heads during the early 1980s.    

“’Remain In Light’ is a high point in my career,” Harrison said, in a statement. “Adrian and I had often discussed the magic of the 1980 tour and the sheer joy it brought to audiences. It is such a delight to see that joy once again in the audiences on the current tour.”
