Both co-headliners have noted solo catalogues, but interesting histories as well. Richie Kotzen has been a part of Poison, Mr. Big, and the Winery Dogs. John 5 has played with David Lee Roth, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, and Motley Crue. The two delighted the Cohoes Music Hall crowd in their respective sets. BAND, Inc., fronted by Giuliana Lucia Amaral, had the distinction of opening the night.
