NEW BEDFORD — If you're are a fan of the legendary rock band The Who, you won’t want to miss Gary Cherone’s SlipKid: A Celebration of The Who at the Vault Music Hall on Friday, Dec. 3. It is the popular tribute band’s first appearance in southeastern Massachusetts. Local rock trio Johnny Barnes and The Nightcrawlers open the show.
Gary Cherone, lead singer of Extreme (and formerly Van Halen), has joined together with his brother Mark to take audiences on an amazing musical journey through the power and passion of The Who live. The band was formed to not impersonate The Who but rather deliver the music and the experience of The Who from every era. As the band puts it, “it’s a celebration, not an imitation.” The combined backgrounds and passion of the musicians in SlipKid make for a powerful, memorable rock show – they do The Who justice for sure.
Among the songs typically performed are “I Can’t Explain,” “My Generation,” “Behind Blue Eyes,” “Pinball Wizard,” “The Real Me,” “You Better You Bet, “Who Are You,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and over a dozen more.
Tickets are $28.50 for general admission and $38.50 for early general admission which enables you to enter one hour before doors and have the option to choose table seating. They can be purchased online at Eventbrite.com.
The Vault is located at 791 Purchase St. in New Bedford. The venue is set within a former bank building featuring original vault doors and a truly historic feel. Patrons have raved about the superior acoustics and intimate setting.
