SUMMARY:QUIET RIOT  //  VIXEN
DESCRIPTION:QUIET RIOT is a rock & roll phenomenon. Famously described as the first heavy metal band to top the pop chart at #1 on Billboard magazine\, the Los Angeles quartet became an overnight sensation thanks to their monster 1983 smash album “Metal Health”. Their hard driving pop metal sound was deemed “out” by record labels so the debut album “Metal Health” was against the grain. Driven by the irresistible double whammy of the rendition of the old Slade chestnut “Cum on Feel the Noize\,” and their original song “Metal Health” (Bang your head) the album stormed up the U.S. charts\, duly reaching the number one spot and going platinum five times over in the process. Quiet Riot went on to have other hits and over a dozen albums and still plays live with a line up consisting of Rudy Sarzo\, Alex Grossi\, Jizzy Pearl and Johnny Kelly. Quiet Riot’s song “Cum On Feel The Noize” was the first heavy metal song to reach Billboard magazine’s top FIVE. Hear all your favorites from Quiet Riot! \nThere’s only one all-female hard rock band from the 80’s who: Sold over 2 million albums worldwide\, Had six #1 videos on MTV\, Had four songs in Billboard’s Top 100! Vixen was founded in St. Paul\, MN by high-schooler guitarist Jan Kuehnemund. The desire to achieve the rock star dreams like so many before her\, Jan took her group to Hollywood but soon retooled the line-up\, which included; vocalist Janet Gardner\, drummer Roxy Petrucci and bassist Share Ross (Pedersen). Jan Kuehnemund\, the founding member and lead guitar player for Vixen passed away October 10th of 2013. Veni\, Vidi\, Vici (I came\, I saw\, I conquered) by Julius Caesar Realizing that a band belongs to its fans\, Gardner\, Petrucci and Ross have carried on the Vixen legacy since 2013. In 2017\, guitarist Britt Lightning (Alejandro Sanz\, Rachel Platten) signed on to round out this extraordinary line up. Vixen consistently delivers high-energy top-notch performances that leave fans breathless and wanting more at every show. 2018 Vixen released “Live Fire”\, recorded at the Arcada Theatre! Alongside the Live CD the band also released a new studio track “You Ought To Know By Now”\, the last recording with original singer Janet Gardner. As the band rolled into 2022\, and after much reflection\, Share Ross decided to take a sabbatical to focus on a prospering real estate career… In steps Brazilian rocker Julia Lage. Julia spent over a decade with Latin Grammy nominated Barra Da Saia\, playing arenas all over South America\, plus performing live with members of The Cars\, Extreme\, and Sugar Ray. In 2024\, Vixen introduced New Vocalist Rosa Laricchuita! The Legacy of Vixen rolls on! \nBuy Now

The band reformed in 2015\, with Gary S. Goldberg & Rick Sorci returning it back to a 60’s garage rock and 70’s-oriented band. \n​ \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:W.A.S.P. - 1984 TO HEADLESS with SPECIAL GUEST KK'S PRIEST
DESCRIPTION:W.A.S.P.: Few Bands in the history of Rock N’ Roll have ever incited the love\, the hate\, the raw emotional effect this Band has had on the world. From the very beginning\, in the small venues of Los Angeles California\, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live\, the Band’s unique style of Shock and Rock caused Religious organizations\, Local City Councils\, Parliaments\, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played. The band’s founding member\, frontman Blackie Lawless\, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual\, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for 4 decades. Hear favorites including “I Wanna Be Somebody\,” “L.O.V.E. machine\,” “Blind In Texas\,” ” Wild Child” and so many MORE! \nKK’s Priest: You can’t keep a heavy metal legend down… Although it’s been over a dozen years since guitarist and songwriter K.K. Downing departed Judas Priest\, the iconic band he co-founded and played with for 40 years\, he was never really going to retire. It was only a matter of time before he reclaimed the spotlight. K.K. Downing has had metal coursing through his veins from the beginning\, starting in the Midlands region of England where Judas Priest was born. He compellingly chronicled his life odyssey in his 2018 autobiography\, and his recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame further secures his legacy as a pioneering musician\, songwriter and guitarist.\nAs a founding member of the classic Judas Priest line-up\, Downing helped lay the foundation for the heavy metal genre as a whole. His distinct style of playing is easily identifiable\, he was part of a six-string duo that complemented and contrasted each other\, and they would progress to new levels of excitement. He has taken that ethos and applied it to KK’s Priest with impassioned results. \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:Y&T
DESCRIPTION:Before Mötley Crüe\, before RATT\, even before there was a Metallica\, Y&T was slogging away in sweaty rock clubs around America. When the band formed in the early 1970s\, little did they know they would set the standard for hard rock bands that trailed. Many of the biggest acts of the ’80s became popular opening for headliners Y&T—and cut their teeth on the band\, as evidenced by the Y&T mentions in tell-all books by acts such as Metallica and Mötley Crüe. Born in Oakland\, California\, Y&T is one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s own innovators of the hard rock sound. Whether performing to a festival crowd of fifty-thousand or in an intimate nightclub\, Y&T’s high-energy set and passionate performances still captivate legions of fans around the globe\, proving Y&T’s music timeless. Originally formed as Yesterday and Today\, the initial powerhouse quartet—featuring Dave Meniketti (lead guitar/lead vocals)\, Phil Kennemore (bass)\, Leonard Haze (drums)\, and Joey Alves (rhythm guitar)—tore through the ’70s and ’80s with their own brand of hard rock. After two ’70s albums on London Records\, they shortened their name to Y&T and released eight albums on A&M in the ’80s. Two more albums with Geffen Records marked an era of change with Jimmy DeGrasso (Alice Cooper\, Suicidal Tendencies\, Megadeth) on drums and Stef Burns (Alice Cooper\, Berlin\, Huey Lewis) on guitar. With a discography of 18 albums\, three greatest hits collections\, plus a boxed set\, Y&T has sold over four million albums since their 1974 inception. The band’s most recent single I’m Coming Home has climbed to roughly 1.5 million views on YouTube. Y&T received extensive airplay with hits such as Forever\, Rescue Me\, Mean Streak\, Don’t Stop Runnin’\, and Summertime Girls—which played in heavy rotation on MTV. Y&T songs have been featured in a multitude of movies and television shows\, including Real Genius\, Out of Bounds\, Baywatch\, and Hunter. After five top 100 albums\, songs that tipped into the 40s\, two Bammie Awards\, and many international television appearances\, Y&T’s hits are still played on VH1 Classic and classic rock radio stations worldwide. With the passing of Kennemore\, Haze\, and Alves\, it’s Meniketti who carries on the legacy that is Y&T. Y&T continues to tour the world\, featuring the dynamic original frontman Dave Meniketti (lead guitar/lead vocals)\, John Nymann (guitar/vocals)\, Aaron Leigh (bass/vocals)\, and Mike Vanderhule (drums/vocals)\, playing songs that span the band’s five-decade career and including all the hits and fan favorites.

SUMMARY:MUSHROOMHEAD/ FEAR FACTORY co-headline of SOULS OF A NEW MACHINE TOUR with SPECIAL GUEST NINE TREASURES
DESCRIPTION:MUSHROOMHEAD: Mushroomhead – are one of the most unique and adventurous alternative metal bands working today. Known for their stunningly theatrical live show and artsy masks\, this innovative band has forged new ground in the rock world and influenced many other bands to push the envelope and bring art into rock. Formed in the early-1990s in Cleveland Ohio\, the band’s combination of metal\, rock and atmospheric elements has struck a chord with thousands of fans worldwide. Mushroomhead have been performing incognito since 1993\, when drummer Skinny founded the band. The band was meant to be a side-project so they wore masks to go unrecognized\, but after only a few shows they developed a rabid and loyal fan base in Cleveland. Influences range from the driving rhythms and breakneck turns of Pantera to the dark melodies of Faith No More\, to the atmospheric stylings of Pink Floyd\, but all done in Mushroomhead style. Notable songs include “Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children\,” “Sun Doesn’t Rise\,” “Kill Tomorrow” and “Qwerty” to name a few. \nFEAR FACTORY: One can’t overstate the size of the Fear Factory boot print on the neck of heavy metal. Unleashing influential albums with devastating anthems for over 30 years\, Fear Factory is widely recognized as both crucial and innovative in extreme metal circles. They perfected an explosive blend of staccato paint-stripping riffs\, industrial-tinged drums\, electronic flourishes\, and a scream/sing dichotomy\, all of which became staples in heavy music\, ever since the group first emerged in L.A. Fear Factory has headlined major festivals; earned several awards from the international sales charts; toured with legends like Black Sabbath\, Slayer\, Iron Maiden\, and Metallica; performed at three Ozzfests; and influenced generations of bands who achieved multiplatinum success.\nThey toured with Slayer and on the Ozzfest mainstage. They headlined in Europe and North America\, where they took System Of A Down and Static-X (featuring future bassist Tony Compos) as support. \nNINE TREASURES: Nine Treasures are a unique combination of heavy metal and traditional Mongolian instrumentation. Guitars\, bass\, and drums collide with string instruments including the balalaika and the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle)\, resulting in a sonic kaleidoscope that follows no set template. Nine Treasures move easily from a straight-up headbanging style to the more atmospheric progressive style. \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:GCS featuring ERIC GALES\, DENNIS CHAMBERS and BILLY SHEEHAN
DESCRIPTION:GCS brings together three of the most electrifying musicians in modern music: two time Grammy nominated guitarist and vocalist Eric Gales\, Modern Drummer Hall of Fame drummer Dennis Chambers\, and five time Best Rock Bass Player Billy Sheehan. Each of these musicians has spent decades performing at the highest levels of blues\, rock\, funk\, jazz fusion\, soul\, and progressive music. Together\, they form a rare lineup where every player can lead\, listen\, and push the music into new territory. The sound of GCS won’t be confined to one category. It will draw from the full range of their musical lives\, moving from heavy blues and hard rock to deep funk\, soul\, and jazz fusion\, with room for fearless improvisation and the kind of live interplay that only players of this caliber can deliver. Three legends\, three unmistakable musical forces\, one stage. When GCS comes to your city\, be there to witness what happens when three titans finally join forces. \nBuy Now \nEric Gales: Two time Grammy nominated guitarist\, vocalist\, and songwriter whose explosive playing has made him one of the most respected artists in modern blues and rock. The Memphis native signed with Elektra Records at 15 and released his debut album at 16\, earning Best New Talent honors in Guitar World’s 1991 readers poll. His unmistakable approach\, playing a right handed guitar flipped upside down\, is matched by a sound that moves naturally through blues\, rock\, funk\, soul\, and psychedelia. Across more than three decades\, Gales has performed or recorded with artists including Carlos Santana\, Buddy Guy\, Joe Bonamassa\, Gary Clark Jr.\, Lauryn Hill\, and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram. His albums The Bookends and Crown reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Blues Albums chart\, while Crown and A Tribute to LJK each earned Grammy nominations for Best Contemporary Blues Album. A three time Blues Music Award winner\, Gales also contributed electric guitar to Ludwig Göransson’s Grammy and Academy Award winning score for Sinners. \nDennis Chambers: One of the most influential drummers of the modern era\, celebrated for his deep pocket\, remarkable speed\, and ability to make highly technical playing feel completely musical. A self-taught prodigy from Baltimore\, Chambers began playing drums at four\, was performing in clubs by six\, and joined Parliament/Funkadelic at 18. That early foundation in funk became part of a musical language that would eventually reach across jazz\, rock\, fusion\, soul\, and Latin music. Dennis has recorded and performed with Carlos Santana\, John Scofield\, John McLaughlin\, George Duke\, the Brecker Brothers\, Maceo Parker\, Mike Stern\, and many others. His career also includes playing in the jazz fusion trio Niacin with Billy Sheehan and keyboardist John Novello. Dennis was inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 2001. Over his career he has become one of those rare drummers who can hold down an undeniable groove\, drive a band with tremendous power\, and take the music completely outside without ever losing its center. \nBilly Sheehan: one of rock’s most original and influential bassists\, known for turning the instrument into both a powerful rhythmic foundation and a commanding lead voice. After building his reputation with the Buffalo power trio Talas\, Sheehan joined David Lee Roth’s band alongside Steve Vai and Gregg Bissonette\, recording the platinum selling albums Eat ’Em and Smile and Skyscraper. He later co founded Mr. Big\, whose worldwide hit “To Be with You” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped charts around the world. Sheehan’s career also includes extensive work with Steve Vai\, The Winery Dogs\, Sons of Apollo\, and Niacin with Dennis Chambers and John Novello. His signature style blends deep groove with three finger picking\, chords\, harmonics\, two handed tapping\, and controlled feedback. Voted Best Rock Bass Player five times in Guitar Player’s readers poll\, Sheehan earned a place in the magazine’s Gallery of Greats. \n

SUMMARY:HAIRBANGERS BALL
DESCRIPTION:Rolling through the “Decade of Decadence” like a 50-ton freight train\, iconic bands such as Guns N’ Roses\, Mötley Crüe\, Bon Jovi and Poison (to mention only a few) made the 1980’s a musical era the likes of which we’re doubtful to see again. In 2001\, lamenting the heyday of hairbands\, Hairbangers Ball sought to rekindle the flame for these Gods of Rock by tapping into the nostalgic and undeniable energy of that bygone era. \nBuy Now\n​

SUMMARY:MARK TREMONTI SINGS FRANK SINATRA
DESCRIPTION:As a GRAMMY® Award-winning multiplatinum musician\, Mark Tremonti’s dynamic musical career spans influential bands from Alter Bridge and Creed to his own Tremonti\, leaving an indelible imprint on hard rock with over 40 million albums sold\, chart-topping debuts\, countless television appearances and magazine covers\, sold out arenas everywhere\, and dozens of other accolades. To say he broadened his horizons with 2022’s Mark Tremonti Sings Sinatra might just be the understatement of the century though. He paid homage to 14 Sinatra classics backed by surviving members of Ol Blue Eye’s band in addition to a cadre of A-list session players. Right out of the gate\, it incited widespread audience and tastemaker applause. Beyond features from Billboard\, CBS New York\, Washington Post\, and many more\, Carson Daly spotlighted the project on TODAY and raved\, “Bar-none the best Frank Sinatra cover I’ve ever heard.” Donating 100% of the album’s proceeds to the National Down Syndrome Society [NDSS] as part of his Take A Chance For Charity Organization\, NDSS notably honored Mark and his family at its Annual Gala & Auction in 2023. Moreover\, the album held #1 on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums Chart for 5 non-consecutive weeks\, while he played a handful of sold-out shows. However\, he has yet to musically contribute to the happiest season of all—until now. Just in time for the holidays\, he delivers Christmas Classics New & Old with nine renditions of holiday anthems and one original tailormade to “put a smile on your face\, make you feel good\, and get you into the Christmas spirit\,” according to Mark. \n  \n  \n \nBuy Now
