Metal shred guitarist XANDER DEMOS has been added to the lineup of artists performing at Rock Harvest II. The two day rock and metal concert will be held on November 8th - 9th, 2013. The House Of Rock in White Marsh, MD is going to be home to the two day festival of melodic, thrash, power, hair, and hard rock music. Tickets will go on sale February 1st, 2013.

In addition to Xander, confirmed acts for Rock Harvest II include RON KEEL, LEATHERWOLF, MITCH MALLOY, DC4, RUSS DWARF (KILLER DWARFS) and FARCRY, among others, with more acts being announced soon.

"We're stoked to have Xander Demos on the lineup for this great cause," said Michael Stover, Xander Demos' manager and owner, MTS Management Group. "Xander is one of today's premiere shredders, heavily influenced by some of the guys on this bill, so it makes total sense to have him sharing the stage with so many incredible artists. The fact that he is always up for helping a good cause made this a no-brainer."
