Last Thursday (February 15), the “Vibez Tour” by GODSMACK commenced at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Led by frontman Sully Erna, the band presents a collection of intimate evenings during the tour, showcasing acoustic/electric performances and sharing untold stories at theaters throughout North America. The tour’s second leg is set to begin on April 9 in Valley Center, California.
During a recent interview with Houston Life, Erna discussed the “Vibez Tour,” saying: “We actually haven’t done this kind of a show since 2004. When we were touring with METALLICA, as that tour ended, we went out and we did an acoustic tour, just kind of stripped it down. And it went over really well and people really enjoyed it.
“It’s a nice kind of event to even take your family to — your moms, your dads. If you’re a kid or a teenager or in your 20s or 30s, and you happen to like GODSMACK for the big, powerful rock shows that we usually do, then this is kind of the other side of that. This is the actual, the more intimate, sexy side, we can say, of the band versus the big angry ‘grrr’ [side].
“This is something you can come to, take your parents or whoever you want, a date or your wife or whatever, have a nice glass of wine and watch a really cool musical performance, hear some cool stories, and just kind of take the journey with us. That’s what we wanna do on this tour, is really create a way to take the audience on a journey, a musical journey.”
