Alter Bridge Unveils North American Tour Routing
The Orlando-based group formed in 2004, bringing together former Creed members Mark Tremonti (guitar/vocals), Brian Marshall (bass) and Scott Phillips (drums) with vocalist/guitarist Myles Kennedy, formerly of The Mayfield Four. When Kennedy isn’t rocking out with Alter Bridge, he’s providing vocals for Slash’s solo project.
Alter Bridge released its fifth studio album, The Last Hero, in October.
A review from Classic Rock’s Grant Moon says, “Twelve years and four albums in, Alter Bridge’s style ticks a lot of boxes for a lot of people. Their huge, kitchen-sink-’n’-all anthems blend mainstream hooks with manicured metal, and choruses machine-tooled for radio and stadiums. Guitar god Mark Tremonti’s swathes of metallic riffs and soaring solos are never knowingly underplayed, and Myles Kennedy’s high-pitched, soulful vocals give this most American of bands a populist edge over others in Generation Download. All these tropes are here on album five. The follow-up to 2013’s dark and heavy Fortress sees the band reach deep for their most earnest, political album to date.”
