Johnny Mathis
4-6
Strathmore


I have to say Mathis' first Christmas album is probably the most "Christmasy" album I can think of.... he also has the distinction of having had the first "Greatest Hits" album.

Xmas songs in April are awesome.

well of course I won't go... have no interest in it... and the other shows he does are at Wolftrap....

Releases one album. $35 folks.
Having a solid set of releases seemingly does not matter anymore. Its all about having a great PR team, giving your tour a catchy name (looking at you Vance Joy), and riding off one popular single.

Yeah, the $35 price tag certainly caught my attention. He's from my hometown metro region so I'm going to overlook the price tag.

4/5
Fear Factory, Soilwork

"Demanufacture" will be played in its entirety, celebrating its 20th anniversary, as well as playing new material and fan favorites!

@ Rams Head Live

I hate that venue, but I am not skipping this.  That album was one of my favorite metal albums when I was a teenager.

Demanufacture is their best album for sure. I still listen to it a few times a year. Soilwork is a good live band as well. But Ram's Head is indeed a bad place for that show plus Dino and Burton definitely seemed like jerks during the break-up/reformation soap opera that went on. Not to mention Tony Campos is in the band currently and he also is a jerk, apparently.

FF kicked ass last time I saw them and "Demanufacture" is such a classic, this is a must see show for me.

This is part of a "Stripped" tour...no, he doesn't striptease but plays acoustic versions of his songs for a sit down audience...

This is their only show in the general area (no DC, or Philly, or Richmond, or Hampton), so I would advise buying one of the $15 tickets ahead of time if anybody is interested.
