Alter Bridge

Alter Bridge formed out of the ashes of Creed, pairing guitarist Mark Tremonti with vocalist Myles Kennedy, whose soaring voice and Tremonti's dense, technical riffing became the band's signature. Albums like "Blackbird" and "Fortress" built them a reputation as one of modern hard rock's more musically ambitious bands, favoring long, dynamic songs over radio shortcuts.

They've stayed a steady touring act for two decades, with a loyal audience that follows Kennedy and Tremonti through their various side projects too. Alter Bridge has a Colorado date coming up at Mission Ballroom.
