Well my metal family… we sold out Vegas in just days! Still can’t believe it! I feel so grateful for you all. We decided to get with a few of our good friends and put together some more shows! You know I couldn’t get out there and not play The Machine Shop! I can’t wait to come hang off the rafters with you again! We have a stop in Illinois at The Rust Belt before wrap up party with our EPIC Event Center family. Those last two shows I will have Doobie open the show and get you all ready! All I keep saying is, “This is going to be so much fun!” That’s what it is… fun, a celebration! Music from both of my bands – Mudvayne and HELLYEAH. Tickets go on sale Friday for all 3 shows.
