STAIND Frontman Unveils Solo Acoustic Dates

September 22, 2010

According to The Pulse of Radio, STAIND frontman Aaron Lewis has announced the dates and venues for his fall solo acoustic tour, which will begin on October 7 in Boston and end four weeks later on November 2 in Abilene, Texas. Unlike previous solo excursions by Lewis, he'll hit theaters and clubs this time instead of his usual casino circuit. Lewis finished work on his long-in-the-making debut solo album earlier this year, but doesn't expect to release it until after the next record from STAIND arrives.

Lewis told The Pulse of Radio the atmosphere at his solo gigs is very different from the full rock shows that STAIND does. "It's very intimate, loose, I talk to people in the crowd, people yell stuff at me, I make fun of 'em...you know, it's loose and fun," he said.

The singer told Billboard this past summer that he and the rest of STAIND will probably regroup after a year-long break in November to begin writing the follow-up to 2008's "The Illusion Of Progress".

Lewis said his solo album has a definite "country flavor" to it, with one song, "Country Boy", features guest spots by Hank Williams Jr., George Jones and Charlie Daniels. Lewis plans to tour behind the record when it is released.
