Note: Nick Villarreal, formerly of Sons of Texas, will be playing bass for Ra, filling in for PJ. Dave Perry, the one-man band known as Fear of Water, will be on drums, and Jordan Mastachione of Killakoi will be shredding on guitar.
I will write more about the show and both bands in a later post, but for now, enjoy these random pictures from a really kickass concert!
Actually, first and foremost, check out this version of “Nutshell” by Alice in Chains, performed by Magnolia Bayou. This is my favorite AIC song. (Their sets consist of mostly originals, but they throw in a couple of interesting covers.)

In a recent interview with Niclas Müller-Hansen of RockSverige, Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti said that the band’s seventh studio album should be released in September. He also talked about his daughter, why he wanted to cover Frank Sinatra songs, and briefly explained Alter Bridge’s process in the studio. If you want to read the full interview, you can click here.
