SAVATAGE / TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA guitarist Chris Caffery has issued the following update:

"Hey all...

The countdown to TSO rehearsal begins.

The show will be bigger and better than ever. I can't wait to share the stage with Johnny Lee Middleton again! East Coast TSO plays Savatage's hometown Tampa this tour, I am hoping Johnny's beloved Devil Rays will be baseball champs by the time we arrive!

Working on the new songs for the tour as we speak. I am not giving anything away, you will have to see and hear what we change when the tour begins.

The countdown begins to the digital release of House Of Insanity, my new CD/Record/whatever you call a new bunch of tunes these days! I put 'Solitaire' back up on the MySpace page. I will be heading out to see one of the JOP/CIIC shows this week. Thought it was fitting to add the tune back with Zak!

Response to the new music has been so positive. Can't wait for the music to be heard all over the world.

I am really excited to go play with Uli Roth at BB Kings in New York City this Saturday night. Been brushing up on my old SCORPIONS!!! It was so cool to get the call asking to come join him onstage, he is one of my all time favorite guitar players.

My newest Dean Guitars are almost finished and I will have them for the first show of the TSO tour. I can't wait for you all to see the TSO Nightcastle guitar.

Expecting to have a re-design of chriscaffery.com by the time the TSO tour starts. New merchandise will follow as well. I am working on a tour schedule for 2009, I will keep you posted on all new developments!

See you all soon on the road!"

Peace...

Chris
