Shinedown brings a fierce rock set to Santa Rosa

March 9, 2016

The Wells Fargo Event Center last Saturday night was definitely ROCKIN! Shinedown made a stop on their tour here in Santa Rosa and blew the roof off the Wells Fargo center. It was a full fledged rock show which doesn’t happen that often here in Santa Rosa, especially of the Shinedown caliber. The Virginmarys opened the night with their infectious punk edged rock set.

It was great to see how this band that we fell in love with nearly a decade ago brought back “the feels” once again when they performed. They gave us a set filled with fan favorites, some oldies, and several new songs from their latest album, Threat to Survival and even a couple fun filled verses of Cyndi Lauper’s Time After Time.

They kicked off the set with their highly energetic track, Bang, Bang, Bang and they continued with favorites off their King of Conflict album as well as treating us to several new songs off the album.
