Touring Musicians
Red Hot Chili Peppers has employed numerous touring musicians throughout its career. A touring musician is an unofficial member who only performs live with the band and does not contribute to studio releases. Josh Klinghoffer was featured as a backing musician on the final half of the band's Stadium Arcadium tour, also performed Organ on the album's title track and eventually become an official member replacing guitarist John Frusciante in 2009. The band's I'm with You Tour currently features percussionist, Mauro Refosco. Refosco provided percussion for most of the tracks on the band's I'm with You album. The band's roadie/drum tech, Chris Warren, also provides keyboards on the current tour. Vicki Calhoun, Keith Barry, and Philip Fisher did contribute to Mother's Milk (1989), where Calhoun performed backing vocals on "Knock Me Down", "Higher Ground", "Good Time Boys", and "Johnny, Kick a Hole in the Sky", Barry played tenor sax on "Subway to Venus", and Fisher provided drums on "Taste the Pain".

Famous quotes containing the word musicians:
“As if the musicians did not so much play the little phrase as execute the rites required by it to appear, and they proceeded to the necessary incantations to obtain and prolong for a few instants the miracle of its evocation, Swann, who could no more see the phrase than if it belonged to an ultraviolet world ... Swann felt it as a presence, as a protective goddess and a confidante to his love, who to arrive to him ... had clothed the disguise of this sonorous appearance.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
