The Third Annual Bon’s Birthday Bash will take place on Thursday, July 9th at The Cutting Room in NYC. Bon’s Birthday Bash is the only US tribute event authorized by the Bon Scott Estate. The show is going to feature Living Colour vocalist Corey Glover, Constantine Maroulls (American Idol finalist), Jimmy Kunes of Cactus, and Steve Brown of Trixter (why? I have no fucking clue.)
The band features nobody that I’ve ever heard of. The band will once again be Paul McGilloway on lead guitar, John Jackson on rhythm guitar, Ivan Bodley on bass, and Kenny Soule on drums. I’m sure they’re great but I’ll have to see it myself to make that call. If anyone knows if these cats are any good, let me know. Also, I thought that said “Ivan Moody” on bass. I was about to kick my monitor and scream, “Why is the tool from Five Finger Death Punch playing bass for this?”
The emcee of the event will be rock radio personality, Terrie Carr. The event will also feature a Morrison Hotel Gallery pop-up showcasing never-before-seen images of Bon Scott by legendary rock photographer Steve Joester. Prints will be available for sale.
Held during Bon’s 80th birthday week, the event brings fans, musicians, and the Bon Scott estate together for a one-night celebration of the voice, swagger, and spirit that helped define AC/DC’s early era. A true evening of high-voltage rock and roll!
Tickets are available at this location.
