May 30, 2019 – Theatre of The Living Arts, Philadelphia PA
Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan and singer/songwriter and Grammy Award-winning producer Shooter Jennings have teamed up together, promoting McKagan’s upcoming solo album Tenderness. Jennings is the producer for this album and is also the opening band. He will serve as McKagan’s back band during this tour. The tour kicked off tonight and I was lucky enough to be able to capture it in this very intimate venue.
If you came to hear some good old rock n’ roll, Guns N’ Roses badass, tattooed guitar playing, you are in the wrong place. McKagan was relaxed with his acoustic guitar sounding very much country and he looked the part as well with his black “cowboy” boots and black vest.
The venue was dark and somber coinciding with the mood of McKagan’s album – tackling heavy subject matters including mental health, suicide, sexual assault, opioid abuse & school shootings. Maybe not your typical “feel good” night out, but fans left the show feeling McKagan’s hope for our future during the turbulent times we’re living in.
It was a memorable night…beautifully done Duff Mckagan!
Shooter Jennings (vocals/keys), Aubrey Richmond (fiddle and vocals), John Schreffler (guitar), Jamie Douglass (drums)
