Tobacco Road Music Series Three

Details:
Emerging as one the Southeast’s most distinctive Arts and Entertainment PR and Marketing firms, FRESH Productions and Marketing once again is taking the North Carolina music scene by storm...with the announcement of the Third Annual Tobacco Road Music Series at the Werehouse, Winston- Salem, NC August 1, 2009. Continuing the tradition of promoting up and coming talent this year's event promises to push the Triad's Musical boundaries like never before. The talent roster includes: American Dog, Last Stone Cast and Automag, each a three piece, rock/southern rock band that is sure to light the fire of the TRMS. American Dog was formed in 1999 in Columbus, Ohio , featuring ex-SALTY DOG (Geffen Records) and DANGEROUS TOYS ( Columbia ) bassist Michael Hannon on Vocals and Electric Bass , Steve Theado on Guitars and Vocals and Keith Pickens on Drums and Vocals. The sound is a very coarse high energy hard rock with a blues base which is often compared to 70's era Ted Nugent with the power and grit of Motorhead.. Although the band appeals to a wide demographic American Dog is especially popular with the biker set. They've played some of the biggest biker events in the world, including Sturgis and many Easyrider events in the States, the Hamburg Harley Days Event in Germany , and the Rock and Blues Custom Show in England. They are also popular in the "rust-belt" where they play to enthusiastic crowds in such cities as Columbus, Cleveland , Pittsburgh , Milwaukee , Chicago, Indianapolis , and Louisville . They have shared the stage with David Allan Coe , UFO, Rose Tattoo, Billy Idol , Nazareth, Ratt, LA Guns, .38 Special and Molly Hatchet to name a few. American Dog have Nine European tours under their belts and have enjoyed tremendous success in Germany, France, Holland, England, Switzerland , Spain and Belgium . With over 35,000 cd's sold and a dvd release in April of 2008, the American Dog attack shows no signs of slowing. Last Stone Cast Coming off of industry attention and critical acclaim for their self titled EP, Last Stone Cast has produced a collection of ten tracks destined to have listeners across the globe clamoring for more. Comprised of Scott McConnell, on vocals and lead guitar, Jon Epstein on bass and Billy Morrison on drums and backing vocals this dynamic trio turns out an astonishing and uncommon sound. As staples in the Ohio music scene, Last Stone Cast has built a steady and loyal local fan base that has quickly spread across the US and in Europe. Formed in 2007, Last Stone Cast has combined their unique no holds barred sound with an unwavering stage performance at a level that makes this outfit stand out amongst the formulaic rock that is more expected than surprising and speaks volumes about their combined talent as it takes most others three times as long to reach this level of perfection. Automag is a power trio out of Raleigh NC. Formed in Johnston County in July of 1996, Automag broke with the music industry and went their own way. While most hard rock/metal bands were seeking record deals by following the molds of popular acts, Automag simply turned their backs, and walked a different path. Committed to their love of all things Metal and Southern Rock, the unholy matrimony began. 13 years later with nearly 700 shows notched, Automag is alive and kicking it harder than ever! 2009 saw the release of “Backin’ It Up” which has been making everyone's ears perk up and take notice. Be sure to catch them live as they bring their hell raisin' beer swiggin’ , trash talkin’ Rock-n-Roll trailer park to the Tobacco Road Music Series! FRESH Productions CEO, Kim Thore and COO, Jon Epstein note, " We are especially excited about this event as we get to host some of the best Southern Rock bands on the scene currently, while simultaneously promoting the genre and bringing rock back to the area. It is our hope that this installment of the Tobacco Road Music Series will return the true spirit of rock and roll back to the Triad." THE TOBACCO ROAD MUSIC SERIES- FEEL THE BURN OF GREAT MUSIC!
