After playing 'An Evening With Sevendust' unplugged shows for the past few months in support of their acoustic album ‘Time Travelers & Bonfires,‘ Sevendust are cranking back up in electric mode for a summer tour with Gemini Syndrome.
Sevendust's John Connolly discusses the band's acoustic album 'Time Travelers & Bonfires,' their touring and more.
We play a game of 'Would You Rather?' with Sevendust guitarist John Connolly, who offers up some intriguing answers.
Sevendust have built a rather large fanbase over the years, and it's because of that devoted following that they are now promoting their brand-new 'Time Travelers & Bonfires' acoustic album (available at iTunes).
For many years, the hard rock and metal genre was predominantly populated with white male musicians, but from the late '80s on there were more rockers breaking that color barrier. Sevendust frontman Lajon Witherspoon was one such artist who did so, and he spoke about finally meeting one of the musicians who helped break the barrier during an appearance on the 'Talk Is Jericho' podcast with Chris Jericho.
With the April 15 release of their crowdfunded acoustic album 'Time Travelers & Bonfires' just a few weeks away, Sevendust have added more dates to their previously announced acoustic 'An Evening With Sevendust' tour.
In Part 1 of our interview with Sevendust, singer Lajon Witherspoon, bassist Vince Hornsby and drummer Morgan Rose spoke about their latest experience on ShipRocked 2014 and their forthcoming acoustic tour. In Part 2 of our interview (watch above), the band talks about their upcoming acoustic album and more.
'That Metal Show' is back in action and set for a new episode on Saturday night (Jan. 25). Already in its 13th season, the VH1 Classic series has an all-star lineup in the works, with members of Sevendust and Living Colour to guest on the Jan. 25 episode.
Last year, Sevendust embarked on a crowdfunding campaign to record an acoustic album. According to their PledgeMusic page, more than 2700 people have contributed, and they have exceeded their goal by more than 60 percent with more than two months remaining. Now, more details have been revealed about the project.
One of the most beloved musicians ever in the history of metal is the late Dimebag Darrell Abbott, so it's no wonder that rockers rally whenever his name is attached to an event. Sevendust have signed on to headline the 2013 'Ride for Dime' event taking place Oct. 5 in Nashville, Tenn.
