Buckcherry rocks the Heritage Theater for their Spring Tour

March 17, 2014

Buckcherry have recently begun their Spring Tour and we were lucky enough to catch them on their 2nd night at the Heritage Theater in Campbell, CA.

It has undergone restoration and renovations and the Heritage Theater is once again live with music and celebration. Opening for Buckcherry was local bad ass rockers, Spiralarms and British rock sensation The Virginmarys. Both bands were amazing and you can check out our features on both of them.

The Virginmarys are currently out on tour with Buckcherry and we had the chance to catch them on their 2nd night of the tour at the Heritage Theater in Campbell, CA.
