Ron Wood Books a Solo Show at New York's Beacon Theatre for March 22

Ron Wood, the Rolling Stones guitarist, is scheduled to play a solo concert at New York's Beacon Theatre on March 22. Tickets go on sale on November 18, according to Rolling Stone, which reported the date on November 13.

The show is a rare U.S. solo date for Wood. It follows solo shows in Europe and South America, the magazine reported.

The Rolling Stones are currently on a sabbatical, a planned break from working together. Wood told Rolling Stone he is using the time to keep his playing sharp. "Making the most of it," is how he put it to the magazine.

He also spoke warmly about the venue. The Beacon Theatre, on Manhattan's Upper Broadway, is a long-standing stage for live music. Wood said he saw Al Green perform there, and he played there with the Rolling Stones in 2006.

Wood will be backed by a band he calls the Ammo Band. The lineup includes Willie Weeks on bass, Andy Newmark on drums, Andy Wallace, Johnny Lee Schell and Chanel Haynes, according to the same report.

For anyone hoping to see the show, the timing is tight. Sales open on November 18, and the date is set for March 22. Ticket prices and how many seats will be sold were not part of the announcement reported by Rolling Stone, so fans should check the venue's and promoter's listings once sales open.

Solo shows by members of a long-running band often sit alongside the group's own plans, and this one is no exception. A sabbatical leaves room for work outside the band, and for the musicians who travel with a solo act. Each date means a stage crew, a sound team and a backing band that need to be booked and paid.

For now, the facts are simple. A veteran guitarist is playing one New York night in March, with tickets arriving in five days.
