Rock legends Creed brought their “Summer Of ’99” tour to the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, Florida on Friday, September 20, 2024. 3 Doors Down provided direct support and Finger Eleven opened the show. It was a magical evening filled with stellar renditions of classic emotional songs.

Creed designed their set list to celebrate their three classic albums – My Own Prison, Human Clay and Weathered. Fans were in full voice throughout the night, as so many of these songs are deeply personal and burned into their brains. Vocalist Scott Stapp gave several long introductions to songs, pointing out their meaning to him, and encouraging people to unite, trust in God, and never give up fighting. His most inspirational talk revolved around not letting yourself or anyone else define you by your worst days. People are imperfect and make mistakes, sometimes repeatedly, but you can rise above those mistakes and continue to live the life that you want to live.

Lead guitarist Mark Tremonti was outstanding, showcasing his unique ability to play intricate beautiful melodies as well as shredding riffs and head banging guitar solos. Bassist Brian Marshall roamed the entire stage with a huge smile on his face all night. Drummer Scott Phillips was perched up high in the back, surrounded by massive video walls and plumes of fire. Tremonti, Marshall and Phillips are as tight as a live rock band can be, with their time outside of Creed spent playing in Alter Bridge. Guitarist Eric Friedman has joined the band on tour to enhance the live sound. Friedman also plays guitar in Tremonti.

Mark Tremonti gave away one of his PRS guitars midway through the set. He asked all of the fans to be as wild as possible during their performance of “What If”. He chose a young boy with crutches rocking in the pit with his father as the winner of the giveaway. It was a nice gesture, proving once again what a huge heart Mr. Tremonti possesses. Check out his work covering Frank Sinatra classics, raising money for NDSS – the National Down Syndrome Society.

Sea World Orlando is celebrating its Seven Seas Food Festival 2023, which features special food and drink options and free weekend concerts at their open-air Bayside Stadium. Scott Stapp, lead singer of rock legends Creed, performed on Sunday evening, April 30, 2023.

Stapp played a 10 song set, with a 2 song encore, encouraging the crowd to sing along throughout the night. He also shared stories about how some of the songs were written, often mentioning his family which was in attendance. At one point, his young son joined him onstage to say hello. He played songs from all four Creed albums, and one – “Survivor” – from his excellent 2019 solo album “The Space Between The Shadows”. It would have been great to hear even more from that album, as it is full of inspiring music.

 

Creed, and Stapp in particular, have received an incredibly unfair amount of criticism over the years. This is completely unwarranted. Creed actually saved rock radio in the late 1990’s, setting the stage for the renaissance that happened in the 2000’s. Their songs are timeless, and have been passed on to a second generation now. The crowd at Sea World sang along to everything, and Stapp even brought the music down several times to let the crowd sing a cappella. These were goose bump moments, which hit as hard emotionally on this night as they did decades ago.

Scott Stapp sounds amazing. He is a family man and appears to be healthy and happy. The rock world can only hope that Mark Tremonti can find some time in the future, between Alter Bridge, Tremonti and his Frank Sinatra tribute to support Take A Chance For Charity, to get the band back together for another album and world tour. Creed’s songs are cathartic, emotional, inspirational and beautiful. They deserve to be experienced again live in all of their glory.

 

Scott Stapp set list for Sea World Orlando on April 30, 2023:

  • Bullets
  • Torn
  • What If
  • Weathered
  • Overcome
  • Survivor (Scott Stapp solo song)
  • My Own Prison
  • One

  • Higher

MARK TREMONTI SINGS FRANK SINATRA

 

 

Take A Chance For Charity is a new charity focused on giving artists / actors / athletes the ability to get out of their comfort zone, having the people with a platform get out of the genre they are known for to raise funds / awareness for the charity of their choice. An actor can sing, an athlete can dance, a musician can sing a song out of their musical genre – any artistic interpretation. This gives the artist the ability to do something out of the ordinary, in fact extraordinary all in the name of charity. Mark Tremonti Sings Tremonti Sinatra will be the first release for the cause, the recipient being NDSS.

Alter Bridge has begun their 2023 North American “Pawns & Kings” Tour. The first show took place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, Florida on January 25, 2023. Red and Mammoth WVH featuring Wolfgang Van Halen were the supporting acts.

 

Alter Bridge ©2023 Johnnie Crow Photos

 

The Events Center at the Hard Rock Tampa is a perfect venue for concerts. The floor section was open for standing, and there are 4 sets of bleacher seating behind that. That allows every attendee to choose their preferred viewing location.

 

Alter Bridge ©2023 Johnnie Crow Photos

 

The place was packed, and fans could be heard singing along to all of their favorites. Alter Bridge also played a good selection of new songs from their 7th album. Every song went over well.

 

Alter Bridge ©2023 Johnnie Crow Photos

 

Despite having 2 opening acts, Alter Bridge still performed a full headlining set, playing for 1 hour and 45 minutes. They got 17 songs in, covering their entire 2 decades of brilliance. Spoiler alert: full set list below.

Red opened the night with an intense set, warming up with the audience with their passionate performance. Michael Barnes, Anthony Armstrong and Randy Armstrong have been together for 20 years and it shows.

 

Mammoth WVH ©2023 Johnnie Crow Photos

 

Mammoth WVH had 45 minutes to showcase Wolfgang Van Halen’s incredible talents on vocals, guitar and keyboards. Their songs are tremendous and sound great in person. Wolfgang performed every note of his solo debut album, so he had to recruit a killer band to play the songs live. Garrett Whitlock, Frank Sidoris, Jon Jourdan and Ronnie Ficarro are already a tight unit, delivering songs with precision.

 

Mammoth WVH ©2023 Johnnie Crow Photos

 

Finally, Scott Phillips, Brian Marshall, Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy took the stage, nearly 3 years since their last U.S. show. Their emotional lyrics and beautiful music are always a blessing to experience live in concert. The connection between fan and artist is clearly evident to all.

With 2023 less than three weeks old, acclaimed rockers ALTER BRIDGE are back with a new single and music video to launch the new year! The song “Holiday” has been a fan favorite since it was made public with the release of Pawns & Kings last October, and is currently one of the most added songs at Active Rock radio.

The “Holiday” video marks the return of longtime video collaborator Dan Sturgess of Sturge Media – known for capturing the band’s iconic performance with the Parallax Orchestra on Alter Bridge: Live At The Royal Albert Hall. The song is currently impacting US radio and the video for “Holiday” can be seen below!

Watch the music video for “Holiday” 

Pawns & Kings – the band’s seventh studio album – was released worldwide on October 14 via Napalm Records. From the opening riffs of “This Is War” to the title track album closer “Pawns & Kings,” ALTER BRIDGE returns with an album of intense tracks that were born after the cycle for their last album was cut short by the global pandemic. Songs like “Dead Among The Living,” “Holiday”  and “Last Man Standing” showcase the signature songwriting the band is known for. The album offers numerous epic adventures, with three songs clocking in over six minutes each. The opus “Fable Of The Silent Son” clocks in at 8:29 and is the longest recorded song in the band’s catalog – a distinction held by “Blackbird” until now. Mark Tremonti steps out of his backing vocal role to take the lead on “Stay,” an introspective ballad that is sure to become a fan favorite live. The band have released lyric videos for the title track Pawns & Kings”, the now fan-favorite “Sin After Sin” and album opener “This Is War”. These songs all found their way into the band’s set list during their European tour.

Known for its signature dual-guitar attack backed by a driving rhythm section, the album’s debut single “Silver Tongue” shot up the charts around the globe and is currently still in the Top 25 in Canada. Its animated music video was created and directed by Ollie Jones of Better Feeling Films (Myles Kennedy, Prodigy, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets) and has garnered over 1.4 million views and counting. Pawns & Kings found its way on numerous 2022 year-end lists around the world, and was produced by longtime collaborator Michael “Elvis” Baskette.

The track listing for Pawns & Kings is:
1)   This Is War
2)   Dead Among The Living
3)   Silver Tongue
4)   Sin After Sin
5)   Stay
6)   Holiday
7)   Fable Of The Silent Son
8)   Season Of Promise
9)   Last Man Standing
10) Pawns & Kings

ALTER BRIDGE’s Pawns & Kings is now available for streaming via all digital service providers and for order in various physical configurations HERE.

2022 saw the return to full time touring and consistent album release cycles. With many artists forced off the road for 2 years, creativity flourished and a ton of great music was released in 2022. Sometimes it is good to get out of your comfort zone, and look for music on the edges of your genre. Here are our Five Fave: 2022 Something Different Rock Albums.

 

#5 – Kitarō – Six Musical Portraits

 

Kitarō is a multi-instrumentalist who has been creating wondrous soundscapes for more than 4 decades. “Six Musical Portraits” is a sampler of some of his best work. His music is excellent to listen to when relaxing, practicing yoga, meditating or falling asleep.

Standout Tracks: Caravansary, Dance Of Sarasvati, Planet

 

#4 – Rammstein – Zeit

 

The German headbangers have created another metal masterpiece. If you don’t mind singing along in a foreign language, or just want to exercise those neck muscles, “Zeit” is an excellent choice.

Standout Tracks: Armee Der Tristen, Angst, Adieu

 

#3 – The Pretty Reckless – Other Worlds

 

Taylor Momsen and The Pretty Reckless continue to grow as musicians and performers. “Other Worlds” is a collection of acoustic versions, cover songs and reimagined mixes.

Standout Tracks: Loud Love, 25 [Acoustic], Only Love Can Save Me Now [Acoustic]

#2 – Coheed and Cambria – Vaxis II: A Window Of The Waking Mind

 

Coheed and Cambria have been telling the fictional story of the Amory Wars for 9 albums. “Vaxis II: A Window Of The Waking Mind” is the direct follow-up to 2018’s “Vaxis I: The Unheavenly Creatures”. Check it out if progressive, sci-fi influenced, rock musicals sound intriguing to you.

Standout Tracks: Ladders Of Supremacy, Rise Naianasha (Cut The Cord), Window Of The Waking Mind

#1 – Mark Tremonti – Mark Tremonti Sings Frank Sinatra

 

Mark Tremonti, the creative engine behind Creed, Alter Bridge and Tremonti, did something unexpected and magical in 2022. Accompanied by surviving members of Sinatra’s band as well as various top-notch players, Tremonti cut 14 classics for Tremonti Sings Sinatra, which he gifted to the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) as part of his new organization Take A Chance For Charity. 100% of the album’s proceeds will go to NDSS to help people with developmental disabilities. 

Tremonti’s voice sounds amazing, and he studied and practiced for a long time, driven to give these songs and their original artist the respect that they deserve. Mark explains “Frank Sinatra raised more than a billion dollars for charity and that is a fact I wish the public knew more about. Beneath his cool and calm persona, he had a big heart. Doing this charity in his name was another way the stars had aligned. I decided to do this record to raise funds for families and individuals with Down syndrome. This project is the start of a new purpose that I will have for the rest of my life.”

Standout Tracks: Luck Be A Lady, I Fall In Love Too Easily, That’s Life

Alter Bridge will be back on North American concert stages this winter. These musicians return with a quiet dedication to writing meaningful songs and performing unforgettable shows (and they’ve delivered both with almost alarming consistency). Still, the influential quartet—Myles Kennedy [vocals, guitar], Mark Tremonti [guitar, vocals], Brian Marshall [bass], and Scott Phillips [drums]—ascend to yet another level on 2022’s Pawns & Kings [Napalm Records]. It is the culmination of almost two decades together soaked in blood, sweat, tears, and the triumph earned through never giving up. It represents the bandmates’ dedication to one another and their collective devotion to a devout fanbase.

2022 saw the return to full time touring and consistent album release cycles. With many artists forced off the road for 2 years, creativity flourished and a ton of great music was released in 2022. With so many of my favorite artists releasing albums in 2022, this list was extremely difficult to put together. Fortunately, these bands delivered some of their strongest material to date, so the hardest part was sorting them. Here are our Five Fave: 2022 Mainstream Rock Albums.

 

#5 – Nothing More – Spirits

 

Nothing More released “Spirits” in 2022, an album 5 years in the making. With their self-titled 2014 debut and 2017’s “The Stories We Tell Ourselves” delivering hit after hit after hit, expectations were high for this creative band. Jonny Hawkins, Mark Vollelunga, Daniel Oliver and Ben Anderson put in the work and it shows. “Spirits” continues the unique path which Nothing More has charted for itself, full of the entire spectrum of sounds and emotions we have come to expect. Special effects, spoken word interludes and dramatic shifts in tone and tempo provide the perfect backdrop for deeply personal lyrics touching on love, mental health, socio-politics and philosophy.

Standout Tracks: You Don’t Know What Love Means, Best Times, Spirits

 

Nothing More ©2022 Johnnie Crow Photos

 

#4 – Halestorm – Back From The Dead

 

Halestorm has been steadily climbing the ladder to rock superstardom for more than a decade. Lzzy Hale has one of the best voices in rock and roll history. She possesses the ability to craft songs which fans can identify with, and all are welcome for the ride. “Back From The Dead” captures so many of the feelings and emotions that the world has experienced in the past few years. No matter the issue – love or loss, injustice or isolation – these songs offer cathartic release and cautious optimism. The album is a musical self-help therapy session, whether you are listening alone, or better yet, experiencing it live in concert, as part of the community that feels best screaming along together. Arejay Hale, Joe Hottinger and Josh Smith know how to inject joy and emotion into any song.

Standout Tracks: Raise Your Horns, The Steeple, Wicked Ways

 

Halestorm ©2022 Johnnie Crow Photos

 

#3 – Shinedown – Planet Zero

 

Shinedown has built a career diving into the darkness, and documenting a way out. “Planet Zero” is largely a warning of a possible future where we lose our humanity. Tucked within a science fiction concept album are subtle clues about how to recapture the brightness and brilliance that we all have within. Brent Smith, Barry Kerch, Zach Myers and Eric Bass complement each other perfectly. Each moment gets what it needs, whether that is a full out sonic assault, or a tender touch.

Standout Tracks: Daylight, America Burning, Dysfunctional You

#2 – Ghost – Impera

 

Ghost is one of the most creative rock bands of all time. Led by Tobias Forge, who transmogrifies from one religious icon to another, and a merry band of Nameless Ghouls who remain anonymous at all times, Ghost loves to play with religious concepts and traditions. “Impera” conceptually takes a look at the rise and fall of empires, and how that is playing out today. With each album, the band seems to grow sonically and consistently, and “Impera” is infectious and enjoyable from start to finish. They were even tapped to write a song for the final “Halloween” movie – “Hunter’s Moon” – a view of events from inside the mind of a serial killer. Literally every song has something special which grabs you and won’t let go. “Impera” is an album that gets better with every listen.

Standout Tracks: Hunter’s Moon, Spillways, Griftwood

#1 – Alter Bridge – Pawns & Kings

 

You can set your musical memory clock to Alter Bridge. Every three years, Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips, Brian Marshall and Myles Kennedy deliver an exquisite package of emotional songs to add to the collection. 2004 introduced “One Day Remains”, 2007 brought “Blackbird”, 2010 dropped “AB III”, 2013 built “Fortress”, 2016 saw “The Last Hero”, 2019 sent “Walk The Sky”, and 2022 gave us “Pawns & Kings”. While each of these albums contains great music, this release is my favorite since “AB III”. There are many sonic pathways chosen, and all of them pay off. There is plenty of inspirational lyrical content, finding the truth and light in the darkness. And, of course, there is so much delicious guitar wizardry, you can listen to “Pawns & Kings” over and over again.

Standout Tracks: Sin After Sin, Stay, Pawns & Kings

Tremonti Sings Sinatra

 

Mark Tremonti has been the most prolific and creative song writer of the past 25 years. As lead guitarist and backup vocalist for Creed and Alter Bridge, he has delivered a combined 10 albums full of pure rock and roll magic. For his solo project, Tremonti, he also takes on lead vocal duties. The fifth Tremonti album, “Marching In Time”, released in 2021, showcases a maturing sound for the band, and a dramatic expansion of his vocal abilities and melodic phrasing. Unbeknownst to everyone in the rock world, Mr. Tremonti was working hard on a secret passion project, diligently studying the unique delivery of one Frank Sinatra. While “Marching In Time” benefitted greatly from this intense training, the true magic was being created behind the scenes.

Accompanied by surviving members of Sinatra’s band as well as various top-notch players, Tremonti cut 14 classics for “Tremonti Sings Sinatra”, which he gifted to the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) as part of his new organization Take A Chance For Charity. 100% of the album’s proceeds will go to NDSS to help people with developmental disabilities.

Inspired by his own daughter Stella, Mark Tremonti has combined his passion for Frank Sinatra with the charitable spirit of Ol’ Blue Eyes himself, in an effort to help others living with Down Syndrome.

“For years, Iʼve loved singing along to Frankʼs songs,” Mark explains. “One night, I found an old video of him performing ʻThe Song Is Youʼ from 1944. It made me want to dive into his vocal approach. I was all in and I wanted to do something with it. When we found out about our daughter Stellaʼs Down syndrome diagnosis, the stars aligned. My obsession with Sinatra had its reason. Frank Sinatra raised more than a billion dollars for charity and that is a fact I wish the public knew more about. Beneath his cool and calm persona, he had a big heart. Doing this charity in his name was another way the stars had aligned. I decided to do this record to raise funds for families and individuals with Down syndrome. This project is the start of a new purpose that I will have for the rest of my life.”

 

 

“Tremonti Sings Sinatra” serves as the inaugural project for his new Take A Chance For Charity movement. It encourages and empowers artists, actors, athletes, and entertainers of all stripes to step into unexpected territory with a creative initiative for charity. Whether it be a football player singing country, an actor salsa dancing, or a guitar player singing Sinatra, it’s all for a great cause.

 

 

“So many talented people have other skills that their fans or followers would never expect,” he leaves off. “This is the chance to do something you’re passionate about for charity. It’s a greenlight to do whatever you want to do. It’s a win-win all around. I want people to talk about this enough to get other artists to participate,” he leaves off. “Someday, I hope I’m a little old man who raised 100 million dollars for charity. My daughter has already made everyone around her a better person. To do this for her means the world to me.”

Tremonti, which is Mark Tremonti’s side hustle when not leading Alter Bridge or Creed, has released its 5th hard rock album, “Marching In Time”. The band is as sharp and tight as ever, with rhythm guitarist Eric Friedman, bassist Tanner Keegan and recently added drummer Ryan Bennett fleshing out the consistently brilliant songwriting of Mark Tremonti. Somehow, he continues to create new riffs, new sounds and more relatable lyrics with each offering.

With the excitement for the new album increasing and as the band gets ready to hit the road in support of their new album, Marching In TimeTREMONTI has released a live music video for the crushing album opener. The live video version of “A World Away” opens with a musical intro before switching into the driving metal riff that kicks off the upcoming album. The video was recorded live in Orlando, FL and features live vocals and instrumentation that gives fans a taste of what they can expect when TREMONTI heads out on tour.

Marching In Time is scheduled for global release on September 24 via Napalm Records and fans who pre-order the album digitally will receive instant downloads of “A World Away,” “Marching In Time” and “If Not For You.”

Watch the live video for “A World Away” HERE:

Mark Tremonti is no stranger to storytelling. Throughout his years with top-charting bands Alter Bridge and Creed, and most recently his solo band, Mark has never strayed from his love of writing memorable songs. With the upcoming fifth album, Marching In Timethe band looks to continue this trend while exploring their love for heavy music, drawing from current events from the last year to form the basis of each song. While its predecessor, A Dying Machine, was an overall concept album seeped in darker sentiments and story, the vibe of Marching In Time is different – emerging as a charging rock/metal offering that takes the listener on 12 individual journeys.

From the driving drum beat of opener “A World Away” to the epic closer “Marching In Time,” the new album is a reflective look at the world around us today. TREMONTI’s unmatched musicianship bleeds through the album, showcased on tracks like “Thrown Further,” “In One Piece” and the thought provoking “Would You Kill.” Alternatively, the band displays their softer side on pensive tracks “The Last One Of Us” and “Not Afraid to Lose.” Debut single “If Not For You” shows the evolution of the band’s sound in 2021 and the music video is a frenetic, high-energy performance video that visually compliments the single that is currently impacting at radio.

Marching In Time was produced by longtime friend and collaborator Michael “Elvis” Baskette – the producer Mark has worked with exclusively since 2007.

About TREMONTI:

For as explosive as Mark Tremonti’s playing may be at times, he has quietly and rather unassumingly asserted himself as one of the most pure, precise and prolific guitarists, songwriters and frontmen of the modern era. With a GRAMMY® Award, recognition at #1 on Guitar World‘s “Top 20 Best Guitarists of the Decade, and 40 million units sold between CreedAlter Bridge and his namesake solo band TREMONTI, he maintains a breakneck pace in terms of both studio output and live shows. Once again, he directly channels this workmanlike focus, rigid discipline, and relentless drive into TREMONTI’s fifth full-length offering, Marching In Time [Napalm Records], fusing uncompromising thrash-induced fret fireworks, wrecking ball grooves, and searing melodies all at once to present a definitive sonic statement.

As the world continues to battle the recent Covid-19 outbreak, recent changes across the United States and its impact on communities are causing ALTER BRIDGE to postpone their upcoming headline tour with special guests Black Stone Cherry and Saint Asonia.

ALTER BRIDGE explains:

“To the entire Alter Bridge family:

We hoped that it wouldn’t come to this, but as some of you have already heard; unfortunately, due to recent changes around the globe created by the recent Covid-19 situation, the May headline tour of the United States with Black Stone Cherry and Saint Asonia will be postponed. The health and safety of everyone attached to these shows (fans, artists, crew members, venue staff, etc) is our main priority. More information regarding rescheduled dates will be available in the future. We look forward to the time when we can all come together and celebrate music as the community and family we are. Until then, Stay Home, Stay Healthy and Stay Safe…”

In an effort to show support to everyone being affected by the global pandemic, Myles Kennedy recently performed acoustic in partnership with American Songwriter for their Behind The Mic series. Aside from discussing songwriting and his musical inspirations in front of a live global audience on Facebook, Myles performed songs from various projects including ALTER BRIDGESlash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, and from his critically acclaimed debut solo album from 2018.

The live event has been viewed over 470K times on Facebook and is now live on YouTube here:

 

Alter Bridge burst onto the music scene in 2004 with the release of their gold-selling debut, One Day Remains. In 2007, the band released Blackbird, the album that elevated the band’s profile worldwide. The epic solo in the title track “Blackbird” was voted “Greatest Guitar Solo Of All Time” by Guitarist Magazine. ABIII was released in 2010 and the single “Isolation” gave the band their first #1 single. In 2013, the band reached an elevated creative and critical plateau with Fortress. It bowed at #12 on the Billboard Top 200, moving over 30,000 copies first-week and earning unanimous tastemaker praise. The record garnered perfect scores from Total Guitar and KERRANG! as well as acclaim from Billboard, The Guardian, Loudwire, Ultimate Guitar, and many more. In between sold out tours in Europe and North America, the guys appeared on VH1 and graced the cover of Classic Rock Magazine who labeled Fortress, “The best thing they’ve ever done,” while Eddie Trunk called it, “A top 10 album of the last 10 years.” 2016’s The Last Hero gave the band their first Top 10 album since their debut. ALTER BRIDGE has appeared on The Tonight Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live and their music has been used by the WWE, Major League Baseball and NASCAR to name a few. The band recently released the video and audio of their career highlight, Live At The Royal Albert Hall, featuring ALTER BRIDGE backed by the 52-piece Parallax Orchestra led by conductor Simon Dobson. In December 2019, Guitar World magazine voted Mark Tremonti the Guitarist of the Decade and their latest album Walk The Sky ended up on numerous year end lists signifying ALTER BRIDGE are showing no signs of slowing down.

Alter Bridge ©2020 Johnnie Crow Photos

With six outstanding albums to choose from, Alter Bridge has reached that stage where they could play for hours and you would still be able to wish they had played more songs. They played 4 songs each from their latest classic “Walk The Sky” and landmark “Blackbird”, 3 songs from “One Day Remains” and “Fortress”, and 2 songs from “AB III”. The full set list is below. This was perhaps my favorite sequencing of songs, with perfect pacing that took fans on an emotional journey.

There is perhaps no better concert experience than seeing a well-oiled machine of a band in a more intimate club or theater setting. The Wiltern offers multiple levels of standing room, balcony seating, a large stage, incredible lighting and perfect sound.

Alter Bridge ©2020 Johnnie Crow Photos

After 16 years together, Alter Bridge continues to rise in their songwriting and performances. Drummer Scott Phillips masterfully leads the group through all of their time signatures and sonic emotions. Bassist Brian Marshall is the epitome of cool, hanging back or stepping forward as the song dictates. Vocalist / guitarist Myles Kennedy just keeps getting better and better on vocals and guitar. Lead guitarist / vocalist Mark Tremonti shows his MVP status with his solos, riffs, harmony vocals and even lead vocals. This combination of musical brothers complements and enhances each other, producing one of the best live rock shows you will ever experience.
