AARON LEWIS, COREY TAYLOR To Join Forces For New Year's Eve Concert

December 10, 2010

STAIND frontman Aaron Lewis and SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR singer Corey Taylor will join forces for a special concert on New Year's Eve (December 31) at Carol Morsani Hall at The Straz Center in Tampa, Florida.

Lewis's forthcoming five-song CD, "Town Line" marks his debut solo release for Nashville-based Stroudavarious Records — and, most prevalently, on its first single and video, "Country Boy". With a little help on both the single and video from legends George Jones and Charlie Daniels as well as critically acclaimed new traditionalist Chris Young, Lewis tells his story like never before on the song. The "Country Boy" single was made available Tuesday, December 7 at iTunes and all other digital retailers. Look for Lewis to head out on the road January 15 for a new run of solo acoustic dates; his freewheeling acoustic shows (which he has been performing for the past few years in tandem with his continuing role in STAIND) have earned him rave reviews.

Taylor has just released a new Christmas single called "XM@$" and has promised fans an "unbelievable" surprise if the song makes No. 1 on the U.K. chart for the holiday. According to The Pulse Of Radio, Taylor said, "I'm actually planning something right now. I have to check the logistics to make sure. But if we get to No. 1 I've got something very special in the works for the fans. It's going to be unbelievable."

Taylor told The Pulse Of Radio that his nasty little Yuletide song is also helping with something meaningful this season. "All of the proceeds are gonna go to charity," he said. "All the proceeds from the U.K. are gonna go to the Teenage Cancer Trust, and we're looking for a charity here in the States that we can donate all the proceeds to. And all out of just pure, Scroogy, bah-humbug, gnarly emotion, you know. And it's hilarious."

Taylor said he decided to support the Teenage Cancer Trust because "my grandmother had cancer, and luckily she got over it. But teenage cancer is probably overlooked a little bit."
