KISS singer/bassist Gene Simmons, who previously released a schedule for his solo tour, has added more dates to the upcoming trek.
The 19-date tour, including the newly announced shows in Anaheim, California; Magna, Utah; and Rockford, Illinois, is set to kick off on April 3rd with a show at House Of Blues, Anaheim, California.
The final show of the tour is scheduled to take place on May 24th at House of Blues in Houston, Texas.
Simmons’ band will feature Brent Woods (Guitar), Jason Walker (Guitar) and Brian Tichy (Drums).
“When I was a kid I noticed that everybody wanted to be a guitar player, and I did initially learn to play a few chords,” Simmons said in an interview with Guitar World last year. “But I picked up bass because there were fewer bass players, and it increased my chances of being in a band – which is what I really wanted.”
“I was never really interested in being a bass virtuoso. I don’t like showoffs in music. I’m much more attracted to things that are memorable. The guy who came up with hamburgers is worshipped around the world. If you go to a French cooking school, they’d never cook a hamburger – but who the f–k puts frog legs in their mouth? I’m a Burger King Whopper; that’s all the credibility I would ever want,” he added.
