Eric Martin: “Andrew McNeice, with his Rock & Roll brainchild MelodicRock.com, gave most of us a new lease on life. I am indebted to him for throwing me a life jacket when the big ship went down. Cheers to his skills as a journalist and a die-hard fan of "this thing we do".
The face of rock and roll music has changed so many times that it's hard to keep track of the adjective that comes before the word rock. Scrap Metal, the proverbial robot transformer made up of standout musicians from the 80s & 90s, brings the spirit of melodic rock & roll back from the dead (well that's not true it's just been a sleeping giant for a handful of years). Dust off your black concert Tee's, polish off your cowboy boots and don't hurt yourself squeezing into your leather pants. Keep the dream alive & kickin' in South Bend.”

Jim Peterik: “I am thrilled to be a part of the landmark AOR show of the year! All of the talent that is synonymous with what we all loved about the 80's will be there all in honor of a man who has done so much to promote that music.
Everyone is charged up and ready to do their best show ever. Can't wait for October 6 - South Bend Indiana at The Morris Center.
We will give you a night you will never forget - keep rocking - Jim Peterik.” (Ides Of March, Pride Of Lions, Ex member of Survivor)

Harry Hess / Harem Scarem: “Playing in the Chicago area will be a first for Harem Scarem so we're extremely excited to be involved and can't wait to meet some U.S rock fans!!!!!”

Kevin Chalfant: “Wow, thank you Andrew for the invitation to perform in your 10th Anniversary jam. I informed my band and they and I are looking forward to a smoking show. The line up is tremendous.”

Martie Peters: “It is such an honour to be called upon for an event like this! We finally get to play to an American audience and we won't let them down in South Bend. And to be on the same bill with all those heroes of mine, people who inspired me into playing rock and roll, it doesn't get much bigger than this! Andrew, here's to the next 10 years of MR.com."

Scrap Metal - Scrap Metal is the Nashville based all-star band featuring Gunnar & Matthew Nelson (Nelson), Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Mark Slaughter (Slaughter), Eric Martin (Mr. Big), Dave Marshall (Vince Neil Band) and Gary Corbett (Lou Gramm Band/Cinderella).
Joining the Scrap Metal on stage for this special expanded headline set will be several very special guests which will turn this show into a once in a lifetime event.
Special guests include Jack Blades (Night Ranger), Jim Peterik (Survivor), Jimi Jamison (Survivor), Jeff Scott Soto and Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow, Deep Purple).
The band's regular set sees them plough through hit singles from the acts represented by the rockers - Slaughter, Nelson, Mr. Big and Night Ranger. The special expanded headlining set will also cover the classic hits from Survivor, Damn Yankees, Rainbow and Deep Purple.

For the first time in over a decade on US soil, Survivor founder Jim Peterik will share the stage with the vocalist responsible for some of the band's most loved hits, Jimi Jamison, for a special Survivor set.
Drummer and vocalist Kelly Keagy will be joined by the his Night Ranger band mate - frontman Jack Blades for a blistering set of Night Ranger and Damn Yankees hits.

Harem Scarem - The headline act is just one highlight of this very special event. Canada's best and most loved melodic rock band Harem Scarem will make their USA debut after some 17 years in the business. Having toured Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, Spain and Japan, the guys have only ever played one show on US soil. The recent release of their 11th studio album proves the guys are as hungry and as fresh as ever and just why they have the reputation for always delivering the goods.
Having toured on their own bill as well as playing support to the likes of Hardline, Van Halen and Foreigner, the band will show old and new fans alike something to remember.

Kevin Chalfant Band - It will be a night of special events and Kevin Chalfant is certainly a man capable of delivering more surprises. In a special full band appearance, Kevin will perform a show that will pay tribute to the music of AOR legends Journey, as well as covering his own hits with The Storm and as a solo artist.
Kevin Chalfant possesses an amazing voice that is the very definition of melodic rock music. This voice has seen him work with the guys from Journey as well as forming the band The Storm with former Journey alumni Gregg Rolie and Steve Smith.
He went on to form Two Fires and has just released a new studio album paying tribute to the music of Journey. On this show, you'll hear it all.

Martie Peters Group - Martie Peters may not be a name familiar to many, but he is an integral part of what has defined MelodicRock.com over the years. Martie is a hard working artist that delivers passionate, harmony filled rock n roll year after year, and like many artists in the world, works hard at his craft in order to produce the highest possible quality albums for his fans and with each album continues to build upon that fan base.
His biggest influence sound and style wise is White Lion and in particular frontman of the band Mike Tramp. But he is also a unique character and on this night will represent the many independent artists out there that make killer music but don't get the deserved recognition. After his performance I have no doubt that many more will be converted to his music.

7th heaven - 7th heaven should be no strangers to followers of the Melodic Rock scene. The guys have built a considerable fan base in the greater Chicago area and across the globe. Another indie artist that works hard at their craft, their breakthrough debut album Silver has won critical acclaim from press and fans alike. With a new frontman in Keith Semple, they are ready to take it to the next level.

1RKO - Opening the show is a hot new Los Angeles based hard rock outfit First Round Knockout. Their energetic take no prisoners approach will I'm sure, make an impact with those present today and will help them make in roads for the future. Their debut album is being worked on now and will be showcased at this event. www.myspace.com/1rko

Dont worry about Chicago,,,, I will pick u & nath up from Toledo, its about 45 mins from my house. And the show is about 1 hour away from my house, which we'll drive to the next day!
so plan on Friday 5th, Paris-Toledo (it may take you through Detroit or some bigger city ,since Toledo doesnt have direct flights to and from Paris.
(Also, CHicago is 4 1/2 hours drive for me.)

Ok, perfect! I'll check that tomorrow, I want to be part of this event! Thanks again Behshad!

Booking done to Toledo, Ohio with Northwest/Air France!

It will!

I hope to be there, I talked to my best friend and she said she'd go. Crossing my fingers that everything goes well and I can make it!

Another reason I'm pissed with Journey. Ruins my chances of Jeff coming anywhere near me to perform.
Teri

Ok who is going???
