Chris Shiflett Shares Black Top White Lines Ahead Of UK Tour

Global rock superstars Foo Fighters’ lead axe man Chris Shiflett returns to the solo spotlight with new single and video, Black Top White Lines, out now via Snakefarm in the UK.

Produced by Jaren Johnston from The Cadillac Three, and co-penned with Johnston (a writer with multiple No. 1 country hits to his name) and Brothers Osborne guitarist, John Osborne, Black Top White Lines is a dark tale of justice that moves quickly into the fast lane with no intention of slowing down; it’s a heady taste of what can be found on Shiflett’s brand new studio album, set to be released later in 2023 – the first solo release from the long-time Foo Fighters member since 2019’s Hard Lessons.

Check out the David Provan-directed video for Black Top White Lines below:

In support of the single, the guitarist announced a run of UK and Ireland headline dates for March 2023 including his largest solo London stop at Kings Cross’s Scala venue, with all shows already sold out.
