Brian Welch’s Head Case

It was early 2005 when Korn’s management announced Welch’s departure, but that doesn’t mean the guitar slinger has stopped rocking out. His solo album – Save Me From Myself – was released in September on his Driven Music Group label.

Now it’s time for Head to take his own band on the road for a few gigs. Of course, Welch will be playing slightly smaller venues than the ones he played back in the Korn days.

Look for Welch to begin a short tour on May 14 in Colorado Springs at The Black Sheep.

Two nights later Welch hits Farmington, N.M., for a show at Gator’s Bar & Grill and May 18 puts him in Lubbock for a gig at Tequila Jungle.

Other stops include Dallas at The Door (May 19); San Antonio at the Scout Bar (May 21); Tomball, TX, at Salem Auditorium (May 22) and Abilene, TX, at Midnite Rodeo 3.

Welch will also appear on the main stage at the Cornerstone Festival in Bushnell, Ill., on July 2 and is scheduled to play the Thomas & Mack Arena in Las Vegas sometime during August.

“We can’t wait to get out there this summer and play tons of shows – from small clubs to huge arenas,” Welch said. “It’s all good to me because I haven’t been on stage in over four years. Me and the guys are ready to kill it this summer!”
