Guitar legend Eric Clapton has once again recruited bass giant Nathan East to his touring band. East, who played with Clapton from 1984 to 2004, will be hitting the road with the former Cream guitarist in 2014, starting in Japan.

The rest of the band includes keyboardists Chris Stainton and Paul Carrack, vocalists Michelle John and Sharon White, and drummer Steve Gadd.

Nathan East’s prolific recording career includes Clapton’s “Tears in Heaven” and “Change the World.” More recently he laid down the low end on the smash hit Daft Punk track “Get Lucky.” (Editor’s note: check out our Stories Behind the Songs with Nathan for more.)

East is currently working on his first ever album as a solo band leader.
