95 WIIL ROCK BREAKDOWN 12/17/2024….. Tremonti…. Kid Rock…. Avatar….
Sevendust’s Lajon Witherspoon joined Mark Tremonti on stage in Orlando to perform a cover of Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas”, last Saturday. The performance, part of Tremonti’s Tremonti Sings Sinatra and Christmas Classics New & Old, supported the National Down Syndrome Society, which raises money for families affected by Down syndrome. Witherspoon initially hesitated to join due to anxiety but later embraced the opportunity.
Kid Rock plans to collaborate with U.S. Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi to tackle unfair concert ticketing practices. After meeting with Bondi, Rock vowed to address issues like bots, scalpers, and deceptive sales tactics, warning industry players to join the effort or face consequences.
And finally, Swedish metal band AVATAR will begin recording their tenth album in January, with production once again handled by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Steel Panther). The follow-up to 2023’s Dance Devil Dance is expected to be released in 2025 via the band’s Black Waltz Records, distributed by Thirty Tigers.
