Tonight (Saturday, December 14th) SAVATAGE frontman/founder JON OLIVA will conclude his Storytellers solo tour at the State Theatre in Tampa, Florida. Drummer Chris Kinder (JON OLIVA'S PAIN) has checked in with the following update:
"We are absolutely stoked to be performing the final show of this leg of the tour in our home base....the State Theater in St Pete, FL tonight. More than 800 people have confirmed they are going and many have prepaid for tickets so we suggest you get there when doors open at 7:00pm and get your tickets. It's going to be an epic night to cap off this in-depth look into the musical life of the Mountain King himself, Jon Oliva!We are already planning to take this out west in the spring of 2014.
We will be filming this show, so don't miss out and be a part of this unique concert experience. All VIP ticket holders should be at the venue at 5:00pm for entrance into the venue and your bag of goodies.
See you there....we are ready!"
