Legendary Guitarist Andy Summers Continues Theatre Tour
The Cracked Lens + A Missing String


"There’s more to Andy Summers than The Police years. And he has the photos to prove it."
– Lexington Herald Leader

"...known for his innovative approach and his contributions to pop music as the mastermind guitarist for one of the most popular and successful rock bands of all time: The Police….Summers’ often elegant, but sometimes cryptic and experimental, guitarwork was the perfect vehicle to give color and texture to the incredible rhythm section he played alongside." – Creative Loafing Tampa

“…the show is carefully built to capture the relationship between imagery, words and sounds, each performance is nevertheless unique, driven by Summers’ appreciation for improvisation and the give-and-take between audience and performer demanded by each intimate venue.” – Forbes

Legendary guitar virtuoso, Rock Hall of Fame Inductee, and multiple Grammy®-winning artist, Andy Summers, continues his North American run with The Cracked Lens + A Missing String theatre tour through 2025. Summers began visiting intimate theatres in 2023 incorporating his collective works into an insightful evening spanning his career where plays guitar and improvises to several sequences of his photography shot worldwide, reads excerpts from his book of short stories Fretted and Moaning, shares insights on his music and photography, including his most recent photography book A Series of Glances, and performs selections from his extensive solo catalog. “I’m thrilled to continue with this show,” says Summers – “let the light shine… after all we went through.” For more information visit AndySummers.com.
