After Aerosmith grounding takes off the project of Joe Perry



Future plans up with Aerosmith ( tickets )'s in the air following a show in Hawaii tonight (10/20), guitarist Joe Perry [ tickets ] will hit the road this fall in support of his latest solo effort.
The Joe Perry Project ( tickets ) kicks off the slate Nov. 10 in New York City, and will hit six cities during the brief outing, which concludes Nov. 21 in Indio, CA. Highlights include a Nov. 14 hometown Boston concert, and a Nov. 19 gig in Windsor, Ontario. Details are included below.
Prior to this week's group of Hawaiian concerts, Aerosmith had been on an unplanned hiatus after Tyler, 61, fell off the stage during an Aug. 5 performance in Sturgis, SD. The singer broke his left shoulder and suffered a cut on his head that required 20 stitches.
Perry has been vocal in his criticism of Tyler since the singer's fall. "I was pretty [upset], because right before that, he had pulled a muscle in his leg, and we had to take two weeks off and we missed probably seven dates," the guitarist told the AP last month.
"All I know is, he's got to get his act together," Perry added. "I mean, he and I haven't written a song together alone in the same room in over 10 years, so there's been some changes in paradigm of what Aerosmith is."
"Have Guitar, Will Travel," Perry's fifth solo album, surfaced earlier this month. The guitarist initially created The Joe Perry Project in 1979 following his departure from Aerosmith, releasing his debut solo album, "Let the Music Do the Talking," in 1980. Perry released two additional albums under the Joe Perry Project name before rejoining Aerosmith in 1984.
Additionally, Perry's self-titled 2005 solo set featured him playing every instrument except drums.
