Chris Shiflett has opened up about the task of becoming a frontman, describing it as “challenging”.The singer-songwriter and Foo Fighters lead guitarist has released three solo albums since 2017, but as he has revealed in a new interview, he continues to feel more at home on the side of the stage than under the central spotlight.Speaking to Classic Rock (via Music News), he described the transition to frontman as being “challenging”, adding: “Guitar playing is my comfort zone.”“But to be the singer and then also have to talk to the crowd, I had to work at that.
What you realise is that people want to have a good time. They’ve hired a sitter, bought tickets, bought a few drinks, maybe bought a t-shirt, they’ve invested in the evening.”“So that’s my job up on stage, to provide them with a good time,” he continued. “Once I figured that out, things got a lot better.”Shiflett has announced details of a UK and Ireland tour, to take place in March 2024.
He will open the run with a show at the Dublin Academy on March 20. From there, he will make his way to Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham, before wrapping up on March 27 at the Electric Ballroom in London.
