CHRIS CAFFERY - Forthcoming Solo Album To Feature Ex-WHITESNAKE Drummer BRIAN TICHY
October 19, 2014, 10 years ago
Guitarist Chris Caffery (Savatage, Trans-Siberian Orchestra) has revealed that drummer Brian Tichy (ex-Whitesnake) is contributing to his forthcoming solo album:
"Brian is currently sending me drum tracks for five songs that I will release on my next solo record in 2015. I won't be able to finish these songs until after the Trans-Siberian Orchestra tour is finished but I'm hoping to do some tracking on the days off. Lots of great musicians will be around me too, so perhaps I will steal some of them for appearances on these tunes! I still haven't decided exactly what I want to call the record I had ideas but I keep changing my mind as the newer songs develop! The album will most likely have 12 songs and I am considering an instrumental or two as well..."Stay tuned for updates.
Organizers for the Wacken Open Air recently confirmed that Savatage will reunite for the festival next year, and excluisve one-off reunion show for Europe. Caffery checked in with the following:
"I am extremely happy to make this post! Our friends at the Wacken festival announced that Savatage will be finally playing again! Wacken 2015! Both Savatage and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra will make an appearance. Savatage will close the festival that night following TSO's first ever European festival appearance. I have been waiting for them to announce this for a few weeks. It was hard to keep it a secret! Yes, legion, our patience has finally paid off..."Stay tuned for updates and band line-up information, coming soon.
