Legendary guitarist, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and multiple Grammy® winner Andy Summers continues his acclaimed North American tour with The Cracked Lens + A Missing String, stopping in Old Saybrook, Connecticut at The Kate on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.
Summers’ innovative theatre tour blends music, photography, and storytelling, offering fans an intimate evening that spans his extraordinary career. Attendees can expect Summers to perform selections from his solo catalog, improvise to sequences of his worldwide photography, and read excerpts from his book of short stories Fretted and Moaning. His most recent photography book, A Series of Glances, is also woven into the performance, paired with the digital EP Vertiginous Canyons, creating a multimedia experience unlike any other.
“I’m thrilled to continue with this show,” Summers says. “Let the light shine… after all we went through.” Fans in Connecticut will get a rare opportunity to witness Summers’ masterful guitar work up close, alongside insights into his music, photography, and the creative inspirations that shaped his decades-long career.
Andy Summers is widely celebrated for his role in The Police, a band whose catalog has sold over 75 million records worldwide, including timeless hits like “Every Breath You Take,” “Message in a Bottle,” and “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic.” Beyond his work with The Police, Summers has enjoyed a prolific solo career, collaborated with acclaimed musicians such as John Etheridge and Robert Fripp, and developed a remarkable reputation as a photographer and author, with multiple books and global exhibitions to his name.
Fans in Connecticut will not want to miss this rare chance to see Summers combine his musical virtuosity with his visual artistry in an evening that promises to be both immersive and unforgettable.
