ROCK RESURRECTION TOUR

Lou Brutus will make his (somewhat) triumphant return to Green Bay WI as host of The Rock Resurrection Tour on Saturday February 18th 2023 at the Epic Event Center. The tour features co-headliners Skillet and Theory of a Deadman, along special guests Saint Asonia.

Along with acting as emcee, Lou will be backstage conducting band interviews and then hitting the photo pit to shoot the concert. Prior to the music, he’ll be at the Merch area as doors open. You can get a picture, an autograph, and/or a limited-edition Green Bay Packers-themed guitar pick designed especially for the show. This pick will ONLY be available the night of the concert! We’ll have details closer to concert day. Plus, we’re working on having copies of his book “Sonic Warrior” on-sale, too. Of course, you can purchase a book ahead of time and bring it in the venue. Go here to get it on Amazon or just pick up a copy wherever you get books.

This event is now SOLD OUT. However, as many folks are bummed to miss Lou in town, he will be back to host AVATAR with Veil of Maya and Orbit Culture on their Dance Devil Dance Tour at the Epic Event Center Saturday May 13th. We can neither confirm nor deny rumors of a special Avatar-themed guitar pick from Darla the Wonder Dog for the gig.
