The Charismatic Force in AOR, Revered by Fellow Musicians as "The Man"

Bill Champlin, known as the "Voice of AOR," whose solo album "No Place Left To Fall" (Victor Entertainment) featuring veteran musicians' ensemble work is also receiving acclaim.

The top West Coast singer will hold his first solo live performances in Japan since 1995. While he has visited Japan numerous times during his 27-year tenure with Chicago from 1982, many fans have traveled to see Chicago's shows specifically for him. This solo tour has been long-awaited.

We can also anticipate hearing his famous songs performed with his own vocals, a testament to his acclaimed songwriting, including his Grammy-winning contributions to Earth, Wind & Fire's "After The Love Has Gone" and George Benson's "Turn Your Love Around."
