Australia’s Rai Thistlethwayte has been appointed the keyboard player for the Sammy Hagar supergroup tour of 2024 featuring Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony and Jason Bonham.
“I am beyond excited to join legends Sammy Hagar (The Red Rocker), Mad Anthony Bassman, Joe Satriani and Jason Bonham on Keyboards and Backing Vocals for Sammy’s 2024 Best Of All Worlds Tour,” Rai said on his socials.
Rai formed Thirsty Merc back in 2002 and had numerous chart hits with ‘Emancipate Myself’, ‘My Completeness’, ‘Someday, Someday’, ‘In The Summertime’ and ’20 Good Reasons’.
Rai will also go into supergroup mode in Australia in January 2024 when he joins Russell Morris, Jack Jones and Dave Gleeson for The Fabulous Caprettos.
The Best of All Worlds tour will start in Florida in July 2024. Only American dates have been announced at this point.
