Balloonfest Sunday is Going to Be a Really Cool Acoustic Rock Day

Johnnie Walker — Wed, 15 May 2013 18:20:27 +0000

At first glance, an acoustic day at Balloonfest 2013 seems kind of weird. But the more you think about it, the better the idea gets! It's something we haven't done since Zakk Wylde came down and performed songs from his then new album Book of Shadows. (Anyone else remember that?) That was a really cool show, and something people really didn't expect from Zakk at the time...heck, it's still odd to think of Zakk on an acoustic guitar, even though he's just done an acoustic tour.

Godsmack's Sully Erna Scolds Uproar Festival Security After Fan Gets Tackled Onstage

Graham 'Gruhamed' Hartmann — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 18:39:50 +0000

Godsmack are currently on tour with the traveling Uproar Festival with Shinedown, Staind, Papa Roach and many more.
