James Iha will return to Europe for a series of stripped back shows in December that will see him playing acoustic with backing from Steve Schiltz (Hurricane Bells, Longwave, Albert Hammond Jr.) on electric guitar. He’ll be performing a selection of material from his successful 1998 solo debut, Let It Come Down, from this year’s critically acclaimed and long-awaited follow-up, Look To The Sky.
James Iha began his career as a co-founder of The Smashing Pumpkins in Chicago in 1987. He recorded and toured with the group until 2000, during which time they released ten albums and became one of the biggest bands of the era, selling tens of millions of albums and filling arenas worldwide. In addition to his guitar playing and singing, Iha was also a contributing songwriter to the band, co-writing some of their most loved songs, including ‘Mayonnaise’ and ‘Soma’ from Siamese Dream.
