Scheduled for Wednesday, February 18 at the Guitar Center in Pasadena, CA, the evening will focus on Kenny as he shares career highlights, the secrets behind his technique, songwriting, tone and talks in depth about his new Fender Signature Series Stratocaster, designed exclusively by KWS. The evening, co-presented by Fender Musical Instruments, is free and open to the public.

The band will kick off the tour at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX, then head up the east coast to play a very special CD release show on March 31 at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. Appearing on nearly half of the dates will be Josh Ritter, who will be performing with a full band.

However as sweet as the tour is for each band on the bill, there is always the inevitable sour. Metal Maniacs magazine, as has been reported, has closed its doors. Before the esteemed metal institution went out of business, they had lent their name as the main sponsor for the tour. "Im honored and saddened that Metal Maniacs is sponsoring this tour" says Jose, who elaborates his position. "I'm honored that its a metal mag for metal fans that has always kept an eye out for smaller bands and I'm saddened that they are closing their doors. Thats one less mag of a scarce few there is that metal fan can get his hands on."

Anka will perform hits from his vast back catalogue, including "My Way", "Diana" and a swing version of The Killer's "Mr. Brightside", featured on his recent album "Classic Songs, My Way" which celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Anka's most famous song "My Way". Anka is one of this century's most successful entertainers and songwriters, with awards and accomplishments that are unsurpassed. The Palladium show will feature his favourite songs, covering the gamut of his own greatest hits, to elite singer-songwriters, ballads, pop and adult contemporary classics.

Originally formed as a Swedish musical duo by The Cardigans front woman/lyricist Nina Persson and Atomic Swing musician Niclas Frisk, A Camp has since evolved into a trio with the addition of American film composer, Shudder to Think member, and Nina's husband, Nathan Larson.

Anderson has created an incredible fantasy universe with sailing ships, sea monsters, and the crusades. Erik Norlander, an accomplished keyboardist/composer and a founding member of progressive rock band Rocket Scientists, joined the project upon its inception to pen the music and produce the recording after a meeting with Anderson and Shawn Gordon of ProgRock Records. Norlander's wife, Queen of Symphonic Rock Lana Lane, was recruited as the lead female vocalist.
