Classic rockers Van Halen, who are in the midst of a successful nostalgia
outing, have recruited soul singer Ryan Shaw to take over the tour's opening
slot later this month.
Shaw climbs on board on Feb. 22 in Charlottesville, VA, taking over for
current opening Ki-Mani Marley--son of reggae legend Bob Marley--who has
been opening for Van Halen since the group's semi-reunion tour launched last
fall.
Last month, Shaw picked up his first Grammy nomination in the Best
Traditional R&B Vocal Performance category for "I Am Your Man," a track
featured on his debut album, "This Is Ryan Shaw."
