QUEENSRŸCHE Guitarist To Perform At WHIP ALE Launch Event

February 16, 2010

Michael "Whip" Wilton, legendary guitarist and founder of multi-platinum and Grammy-nominated band QUEENSRŸCHE, will perform at another Whip Ale launch event on Friday, February 26 at Hell's Kitchen in Tacoma, Washington. Michael will play a 25-minute set of QUEENSRŸCHE material with some improv jam mixed in. A sample of what you will see and hear can be viewed below. Other bands set to perform at the event include ATOMIC OUTLAWS, WIDE EYED PANIC and AMERICAN WRECKING COMPANY.

Whip Ale is a locally brewed pale ale. Michael researched the ingredients and put this recipe together himself. The ale has been highly touted by beer enthusiasts and beer industry insiders. It is brewed by the award-winning Lazy Boy Brewery in Everett, Washington.

Event details:

Friday, February 26 at 7:30 p.m.
Hell's Kitchen
928 Pacific Avenue
Tacoma, WA 98402-4402
(253) 759-6003

The event is free and open to those 21 and over.

Wilton is continuing work on his solo CD, which is tentatively due later in the year via Rat Pak Records and Century Media distribution.

Michael makes a guest appearance on a couple of songs on the new solo album from METAL CHURCH vocalist Ronny Munroe, entitled "The Fire Within".

QUEENSRŸCHE's twelfth studio LP, the epic concept album "American Soldier", was made available from Atco/Rhino in March 2009 for a suggested list price of $18.98 (CD) and $9.99 (digital). The ambitious album encompasses a dozen songs inspired by numerous interviews with veterans conducted by Geoff Tate, the group's singer and chief songwriter, who was intent on telling their story using their words. After speaking with soldiers who served in various conflicts — from World War II to Iraq — Tate turned their firsthand experiences from the frontlines into an unflinching musical examination of the life of a solider and the consequences of war.
