Does Mo Pitney have a steel player?

Mo is doing a concert Friday the 19th 7 pm at Freedom hall in Johnson City, TN. If he has a steel player, I might go. I've had my shots.

George..There are videos of live performances on Youtube featuring Eddy Lange on steel guitar, do not know if he uses him on the road.

When Mo does full band shows Eddie Lange is the steel player.

I saw a YouTube of a TV show with Mike Johnson on steel, but he might have been attached to the show rather than Mo.

Yes, Dan was his road player until he went to work for Joe Diffie (RIP). Mike was probably the staff player on whatever show you saw them on.

I asked Eddie Lange and he said Mo is working solo Friday at Freedom Hall. It's a big Coliseum, I hope he doesn't get lost on the big stage. As much as I like Mo, with no band and no steel, no me.

They do this a lot in Canada...they donâ€™t tell you itâ€™s an acoustic only show until the day of the show...usually on the radio..but your ticket price reflects as if youâ€™re going to see a whole band...itâ€™s a dirty trick if you ask me! More money for the promoter I think...not the artists

Rene, you are right. Thank goodness for the forum and Eddie Lange. I would have really been pissed if I had bought my girlfriend and myself tickets and no band in a hugh arena. I would have walked out and demanded my money back.

Is he the headliner or opening act? Just curious. I would be more upset if he was the headliner. Mo is great, but I much prefer him with a full band than the acoustic shows I have seen on YouTube.

I don't know what's going on. I just went to Mo's tour schedule and he's supposed to be performing 100 miles away in Knoxville on the 19th, along with two other artists I've never heard of. He is no longer listed on the Freedom Hall website.

I think I've figured out what's happened. A couple of months ago, there was an announcement that Mo was going to be at Freedom Hall in JC on the 19th, so I posted it on my calender. A couple of days ago, that announced popped up on my screen as a reminder. The concert was apparently cancelled and moved to Knoxville.
