We know Slash as the legendary hard rock iconic guitarist for the band Guns N’ Roses. We also know him as a pretty amazing solo artist as part of Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. He’s been featured on pop songs, and country songs and is now paying tribute to the blues. Slash is releasing a new blues album on May 17th called Orgy of the Damned. The album will feature a ton of guest vocalists including Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top, Chris Robinson from The Black Crowes, Gary Clark Jr., Chris Stapleton, Paul Rodgers of Bad Company, and Brian Johnson of AC/DC. In fact the song with Brian Johnson is called “Killing Floor” and also features Steven Tyler of Aerosmith playing harmonica. That song is out now
As is the case when artists release new albums, they hit the road to promote it and Slash will be doing the same, but since this a blues album he’s hitting the road with a touring blues festival called the SERPENT Festival. Serpent is actually an acronym that stands for Solidarity, Engagement, Restore, Peace, Equality N’ Tolerance. The tour will feature Warren Haynes Band, Keb’ ‘Mo, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Robert Randolph, Samantha Fish, Eric Gales, ZZ Ward, Jackie Venson, and Larkin Poe. The lineup will vary on each date. His band for the tour will be bassist Johnny Griparic, keyboardist Teddy ‘ZigZag’ Andreadis, drummer Michael Jerome, and singer/guitarist Tash Neal.
