Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band
Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band are a live rock supergroup founded in 1989 with shifting personnel, led by former Beatles drummer and vocalist Ringo Starr.
History and description
Since 1989, Starr has toured with fourteen variations of the band, where "everybody on stage is a star in their own right". Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band is a concept that was created by producer David Fishof.The band has consistently toured for over three decades, and rotates its line-up depending on availability of musicians and at Starr's discretion. All-Starr Band shows generally feature 10–12 songs sung by Starr, including those he performed with the Beatles and in his solo career. Mixed with Starr's songs are those performed by the All-Starrs, generally the biggest hits from their respective groups or solo careers.
The All-Starr Band does not compose original music, but a number of live albums featuring the group have been released. The sole exception is the track "Island in the Sun", off Starr's 2015 album Postcards from Paradise, which was co-written and performed by Starr and every member of that year's All-Starr Band.
