Saving Abel will appear in concert on Thursday, Sept. 23, at Whiskey River in Beaumont in support of its sophomore album, “Miss America.” The on sale date for tickets has not been announced, but ticket price will be $15 for ages 18 and older.
Saving Abel last performed in Beaumont as part of Dog Jam ’09 in the fall of 2009 in support of its self-titled debut, which featured the hit songs Addicted, New Tattoo, Drowning (Face Down) and more.
The band released its new CD, “Miss America,” on June 8 and it quickly debuted at number 24 on the Billboard album chart, the highest charting position for either of the band’s releases. The single, Stupid Girl (Only in Hollywood), has received plenty of air-play as it moved up the rock charts to number 12. Along with heavy rotation on MTV2, the band has also been scheduled to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! next Monday.
Saving Abel recently performed in Houston this past Saturday night (July 24, 2010) and is currently touring with support act We Are The Fallen, plus special guests American Bang and Taddy Porter.

Plagued with a myriad of issues, including pesky sound problems through the first 30 minutes of the band’s set on Tuesday night inside The Peacock Room at the House of Blues in Houston, the band persevered and never let the situation cause panic to the crowd or themselves.

George Lynch is best known as the guitarist from the band Dokken, which had several hit songs and gold and platinum albums during the mid-to-late 1980s. He struck out on his own and formed Lynch Mob through the early 90s, and has reformed the band periodically.
Lynch and the rest of Lynch Mob, once again fronted by original vocalist Oni Logan, are touring in support of its newest album, “Smoke and Mirrors,” and performed in Houston to the thrill of a few hundred devoted Lynch-fans.
The night was one of the smoothest the band has most likely experienced.
First, the doors, which were originally slated to open at 8:30 p.m., did not open until approximately 9:30 p.m. When the band did hit stage shortly before 10 p.m., it was evident from the beginning something wasn’t quite right with the sound, most noticeably from the buzzing sound randomly emanating from the bassist’s equipment.
Logan halted the show three times, the last time for more than 10 minutes, in an effort to have the problem corrected. Eventually, another bass head was substituted and the remainder of the show progressed with no problems.

The group opened with “She’s Evil But She’s Mine, “River of Love,” and “Hell Child,” all from the 1990 “Wicked Sensation” album, much to the delight of the fans.
The band also performed several new songs from its 2009 release, “Smoke and Mirrors,” in fact, more than anticipated, as half of the set was new music. Songs performed included “Revolution Hero,” “21st Century Man,” and “Madly Backwards,” among others.
No Lynch Mob show would be complete without Lynch including a few tunes from his tenure with Dokken. The crowd handled many of the chorus vocal duties during the furious “Tooth and Nail,” while guitar aficionados drooled over the chance to see Lynch, up-close and personal, performing his instrumental masterpiece, “Mr. Scary.” The band closed the evening with “Wicked Sensation.”
Noticeably absent from the set list was any of Lynch’s solo material from “Sacred Groove” and other releases, but also the omission of any songs from the band’s self-titled sophomore disc. Although the album did feature Robert Mason on vocals, instead of Logan, one would think Logan would have little problem paying tribute to Freddie Mercury and company by singing the Queen classic, “Tie Your Mother Down,” which is included on that album.
Despite the initial delays, and what could have been a problematic evening, the band triumphed with its professionalism and persistence and made the night an enjoyable evening of rock ’n roll for all.

Lynch Mob setlist:
She’s Evil But She’s Mine
River of Love
Hell Child
Revolution Hero
Let the Music be the Master
21st Century Man
Madly Backwards
We Will Remain
Time Keepers
Tooth ’N Nail
Mr. Scary
Wicked Sensation

Acts scheduled to perform include Tyler Bryant, Thursday, July 29; Cavo, Monday, Aug. 2; and Framing Hanley on Thursday, Sept. 2. And more shows are waiting to be confirmed.

During its first run, Antone’s offered area live music fans a multitude of talented artists on a weekly basis from across Southeast Texas and the state, as well as renowned touring artists.
National acts having performed at Antone’s in the past have included Eric Johnson, Jimmie Vaughan, Saliva, Clutch, Craig Morgan, Apocalyptica, Theory of a Deadman, Tantric, among many others.

This time around Antone's will operate a bit differently as it will only be open for special events, similar to how Ford Park and the Beaumont Civic Center Complex operate. In other words, the club will not be open under any regular business hours.

The first show features an up-and-coming artist that many youth and young adults may be more familiar as Tyler Bryant performs July 29. Tickets are $10 in advance at all Florida Tans locations and Guitar and Banjo Studio, and $15 at the door for ages 21 and older. Admission is $20 at the door for ages 18-20.
Bryant, 18, is a young guitarist who has made a huge name for himself in the last year. He has a song, “Who I Am,” featured on the Guitar Hero 5 Update Pack, and has performed with an array of superstar musicians such as Slash, ZZ Top, Jeff Beck, Santana and more.
His skills on the six-string have earned him the Robert Johnson Blues Foundation’s New Generation Award, as well as performances at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago and the opportunity to record a new song, “Bittersweet,” with famed-Led Zeppelin producer Kevin Shirley.

The St. Louis-based band Cavo made its first ever appearance in Beaumont in May 2009 and returns to Southeast Texas on Aug. 2. The band is still touring in support of its August 2009 release, “Bright Nights Dark Days,” and features the single “Champagne,” which climbed to number 1 on the Billboard Active Rock and Mainstream Rock charts. It’s second single, “Crash,” peaked at number 7.
Tickets go on sale Thursday at all Florida Tans locations, as well as Guitar and Banjo Studio in Beaumont, for $12 in advance. Tickets are $15 day of show for ages 21 and older, while admission is $20 for ages 18 and older.

Framing Hanley last performed in Beaumont in early 2009 at Scout Bar to a packed house and the band is set to return to the Golde Triangle-area with a concert at Antone’s on Sept. 2.
Tickets for this show go on sale Thursday at all Florida Tans locations, as well as Guitar and Banjo Studio in Beaumont, for $12 in advance. Tickets are $15 day of show for ages 21 and older, while admission is $20 for ages 18 and older.
