Ever think you have what it takes to be a heavy metal vocalist? Well, it's time to stop singing in the shower and take those skills to the stage.

"Heavy Metal Karaoke" operates like normal karaoke, except instead of singing with lame-ass backing tracks, this special event gives the participants the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sing with professional touring musicians from some of the most legendary heavy metal bands of all time!

Admission for each show is $10 in advance and $12 the day of the show, so get your tickets now before they sell out. This is the first "Heavy Metal Karaoke" event featuring established live musicians and is a must-see event, even if you are not up for the vocal challenge. There will be a designated area for "singer" registration that will feature a large song list to chose from, including classic tracks from BLACK SABBATH, IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, METALLICA, PANTERA, SLAYER and plenty more. Expect a variety of special guests and surprises!
