This Saturday, December 14th, SAVATAGE frontman/founder JON OLIVA will conclude his Storytellers solo tour at the State Theatre in Tampa, Florida. According to drummer Chris Kinder, support on the night will come from HERMAN NEBULA, featuring former Savatage singer Damond Jiniya.
Jiniya replaced vocalist Zak Stevens in 2000 and performed with Savatage until 2005. He never officially recorded with the band.
More than thirty years after the start of his career with Savatage, and successive projects/bands like TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA and Jon Oliva's Pain, now legendary songwriter and performer Jon Oliva released his first ever solo album, titled Raise The Curtain. The album was released simply under the banner OLIVA and you can expect a mixture of Jon Oliva’s early influences and the material he wrote and recorded throughout his whole artistic career.
