The encores were the icing on the cake with the Aerosmith covers “Lightning Strikes” and “Walk This Way”. The band rounded out the end of their 19-song setlist with Aerosmith songs like “Lick and A Promise” and “Bone to Bone”. The Joe Perry Project did an excellent job of mixing their songs in with Aerosmith covers. This led into the fun, rockabilly tune written and originally performed by the late Billy Lee Riley in 1957. This was the only song that had some issues with timing, so Perry stopped playing it about halfway through and they moved on to the next song which was a cover of Memphis Slim’s, “Steppin’ Out”.īefore the band played the next song on their setlist, “Flying Saucers Rock and Roll”, Perry took a minute to address the crowd and told them that the US government had released classified UFO documents and were sharing information regarding known space crafts. He went on to say he thinks the band was eating day-old sushi in Mexico and somehow those words got mixed up and became the title of this song. Although Stutter has not toured with Aerosmith, he does have an extremely impressive list of artists he has toured with including: Cher, Chris Cornell, Smash Mouth, Vertical Horizon and Foreigner.Īfter Perry had lent his vocals to a few tracks he was about to start playing the instrumental song, “Spanish Sushi” and wanted to let the crowd know that he wasn’t entirely sure why they named the song that. Finally, rounding out the band is the drummer Jason Stutter. The keyboardist, Buck Johnson, has also toured with Aerosmith, as well as with the Doobie Brothers.

Hull has also co-written some of The Joe Perry Project lyrics. Bassist David Hull has filled in many times over the years for Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton. It is worth noting that Perry was not the only person on the stage to have performed with Aerosmith. Cherone continued to entertain the crowd for the first few songs of the night before Joe Perry himself took over some of the singing duties. The band started the night off with lead singer Gary Cherone, of the band Extreme, belting out the band’s original song, “I’ve Got the Rock & Rolls”. The band has lots of their own material, but also treat their fans to some covers, including some Aerosmith tunes, throughout their setlist. The legendary Joe Perry is most famous for being a founding member and lead guitarist for Aerosmith, but also has another band he formed, The Joe Perry Project.
