If The Joe Perry Project’s tour kickoff earlier this month left you craving more live Aerosmith, get back in the saddle again because it’s Tom Hamilton’s turn to show off what he’s been up to.

The 73-year-old bassist, who co-founded the iconic hard rock collective in 1970, has put together Close Enemies, a new repertoire that features the likes of Babys drummer Tony Brock and Angus Young guitar tech Trace Foster.

The band’s current set only features a smattering of Aerosmith jams, but almost everything else is currently unreleased original material, so if you want to hear the closest to new ‘Aero we might get for a while before anything releases, Largo’s Central Park is where you’ll want to be come January.

Tickets to see Close Enemies feat. Tom Hamilton of Aerosmith play Largo’s Central Park Performing Arts Center on Friday, Jan. 23 are now available and start at $25.
