Pasquerilla Conference Center in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Joined by special guests Kurt Deimer and Blood Union, this highly anticipated concert promises to be a nostalgic and electrifying experience for music enthusiasts of all ages.

Unleashing the Skid Row Classics and Beyond

Reliving the Glory Days of Skid Row

The upcoming concert in Johnstown holds a special significance for many fans who grew up listening to Skid Row's iconic hits. Sebastian Bach, the charismatic vocalist who led the band from 1987 to 1996, will be revisiting the band's most beloved tracks, transporting the audience back to the glory days of hard rock. Concertgoers can expect to hear the anthems that defined the era, such as "I Remember You," "18 and Life," and "Youth Gone Wild," among other fan favorites.

Showcasing Bach's Solo Endeavors

While Skid Row's music will undoubtedly be the centerpiece of the show, Sebastian Bach's solo work will also be prominently featured. Since his departure from the band in 1996, Bach has released a series of acclaimed solo albums, including "Bring 'Em Bach Alive!," "Angel Down," "Kicking & Screaming," and "Give 'Em Hell." The audience will have the opportunity to experience the evolution of Bach's artistry, as he seamlessly blends his solo material with the Skid Row classics that have cemented his legacy.

Connecting with the Fans

The intimate setting of the Frank J. Pasquerilla Conference Center promises to create a unique and personal connection between the artist and the audience. According to Chad Mearns, the marketing and box office manager at 1st Summit Arena, the venue's size will allow fans to be "up there pretty close to the stage and have a nice connection with the artist." This proximity will undoubtedly heighten the energy and excitement of the performance, as Bach interacts with his devoted fans.

Appealing to a Diverse Audience

While the concert is sure to resonate with those who grew up listening to Skid Row, Mearns emphasizes that the show will also appeal to a younger generation of hard rock and metal enthusiasts. "Even if you're not familiar with the music but are a younger fan of hard rock and metal, you'll find something you can enjoy," he assures. The diverse lineup, featuring Sebastian Bach, Kurt Deimer, and Blood Union, promises to cater to a wide range of musical tastes, ensuring that the concert will captivate both longtime fans and newcomers to the genre.

A Homecoming Celebration

The return of Sebastian Bach to Johnstown holds a special significance, as the city played a pivotal role in the early days of Skid Row's success. In 1989, the band famously opened for Bon Jovi at the legendary Point Stadium, performing in the pouring rain. Now, 35 years later, Bach's homecoming to Johnstown is a testament to the enduring legacy of Skid Row and the unwavering support of the city's music enthusiasts.
