King Blues Club and Grill New York Sun, 05/27/12 8:00pm Opening Act: JAC&JILL May 27, 2012 Showtime @ 8:00PM Doors Open @ 6:00PM Tickets $26.00 in advance, $30.00 day of show Dee Snider first emerged as a star as the lead singer of the '80s glam rock metal band Twisted Sister. With his brash persona and wild stage costumes, he became both a popular messenger of youth freedom of expression (with "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock" becoming rallying cries) and a target of criticism from parental groups. Although Snider is perhaps best known for this frontman role, there is so much more to this multi-dimensional artist. In the two decades since the disbanding of Twisted Sister, he has become a radio and television personality, a movie actor, and a star on Broadway and in reality television (starring in the current season of Celebrity Apprentice). He's also continued to produce new music. His next album, Dee Does Broadway (out May 8th), features his rock 'n' roll takes on Broadway classics. Edited by SMF Cyndi 2012-03-30 3:59 PM | ||

Road Reporter Posts: 1729 Location: Baltimore, MD | oh wow. that changes everything. I have to check the work schedule---I'm due to leave Europe on May 31st. I'll be gone almost the whole month! Hopefully I won't be on call May 28th. (I usually cover on holidays for those who go away) | ||

Elite SMF Posts: 214 Location: Da Bronx | Yes, work schedules. Why I missed Potown. Same goes here, hope I can do it. I'm also trying to see two other show that month, Mick Taylor and Joe Lynn Turner. Those two and Dee Sinder in the same month? Hope I can pull off that hat trick. Now if only a few more band members would come out and play... | ||

Full-On SMF Posts: 96 | Anyone have any idea who is playing in the band that night? It would be cool to see a few members of Widowmaker, since I never got to see them. I'd love to hear The Iron Road and Blue For You. I'm probably hoping for too much. | ||

Road Reporter Posts: 1729 Location: Baltimore, MD | well crappola. Just got the email that the BB KIng Club show is canceled. The good news...is at least that they are offering full refunds. My bus ticket has been credited and at least there was time to cancel hotel reservations. Damn. | ||

Road Reporter Posts: 1729 Location: Baltimore, MD | well, it looks like Megabus won't give me a refund....so it's a loss of $50....I'm trying to convince them to give me a credit... I really just wanted to see the show! | ||
