Peterborough native Sebastian Bach is playing a hometown concert this November — his first show in Peterborough in 28 years.
Presented by The Wolf 101.5 and The Diamond Mine Agency, the former frontman for Skid Row will be performing at The Venue (286 George St. N., Peterborough) on Saturday, November 17th.
Tickets for the show will cost $40, with early bird tickets going on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, August 3rd at www.ticketscene.ca/events/21740/. VIP meet & greet packages will be available soon via Bach’s website at www.sebastianbachlive.com.
The oldest son of the late local artist David Bierk, Bach (that’s his professional name) was born in The Bahamas and raised in Peterborough and area.
He achieved fame as the frontman of heavy metal band Skid Row from 1987 to 1996. He has since continued a solo career, has acted on Broadway, and has made appearances in film and television.
He’s currently working on a follow up to his 2014 solo album Give ‘Em Hell, with rumours that he is going to sign a deal with a U.S.-based heavy metal record label. He published his autobiography, 18 And Life On Skid Row, in December 2016.
On the Facebook event page announcing the concert, Bach writes:
Well what can I say about this show! I have lived a lot of places in my lifetime. But nowhere will ever hold a place in my heart like Peterborough Ontario Canada does.
This is truly where I spent my childhood. From Cavan to Peterborough to Lakefield, this is where my memories of innocence remain in my heart. You can read my book about growing up in Peterborough.
This is the 5th time (that I can remember) playing a real gig in my childhood home town.
1. Crary Park Battle of the Bands with Bloody Mary (we won) 1982 ?
2. Artspace with Kid Wikkid 1984 ?
3. Jokers with Kid Wiikkid 1985 ?
4. Memorial Center with Skid Row and special guest Pantera and the Killer Dwarfs 1992
5. The Venue 2018 !!!
To say I am excited is an understatement.
What I would love to do would be to ride my bike from Queen Mary to the sound check the afternoon of the gig. But I don’t know if I will have the energy for that on show day! We are gonna give you an amazing night that will include a ton of surprises! It’s gonna be kick ass rock’n roll concert and it’s going to be very emotional.
So come on out for a night I will never forget that is for sure. See you soon!!!
I’d rather be in Peterborough!!
Special musical guests joining Bach for his November 2018 show are still to be announced.
