Peace Machine live from Los Angeles
Ahead of the tour, Sayce has released a blistering live version of his anthem Peace Machine, captured at the legendary Baked Potato in Los Angeles.
“The message of Peace Machine rings even louder today than when I first recorded it,” says Sayce. “This live take with my band captures the fire, the intensity and the raw spirit of the song. It sums up so much of what I’m seeing and feeling in the world right now.”

New studio album in progress
Sayce is currently in the studio between Toronto and Los Angeles working on his next album. He describes it as “a homecoming and an evolution all at once. It is full of heart, grit and everything I have lived since my last release.”
Special guest Tom Moriarty
Joining Sayce on the tour will be acclaimed British guitarist and singer-songwriter Tom Moriarty, praised by Guitarist magazine for music that appeals to fans of Ben Harper, Ray Lamontagne and Van Morrison.
Critical acclaim
Sayce’s 2024 album The Wolves Are Coming drew widespread praise across the UK press, including Classic Rock, Guitarist, RNR and Blues Matters. His fiery live shows continue to earn raves. Blues Matters described them as “wild, energetic, a full-on experience,” while Raw Ramp hailed Sayce’s ability to “create atmospheres with sonic textures and take fire from the sun.”
Backed by bassist Sam Bolle and drummer Bryan Head, the 2026 setlists will span his acclaimed catalogue — The Wolves Are Coming, Spirit Rising, Peace Machine, Influence, Ruby Electric and Steamroller — alongside material from the forthcoming record.
A protégé of Jeff Healey and longtime collaborator with Melissa Etheridge, Sayce has stunned audiences worldwide from Montreux Jazz Festival to Eric Clapton’s Crossroads. Jon Bon Jovi once summed it up simply: “Who the f* is that guitar player? Pretty fabulous, Philip.”*
