TESLA Drummer On Benefit Concert: 'It's Got To Be Personal Or It Just Doesn't Make Sense'

February 16, 2008

Rick Massimo of The Providence Journal reports: The organizers of next week's massive benefit concert for the Station Family Fund say the goals of the concert are to raise money for the survivors of the fire and to keep the people and the problems left in the wake of the blaze in the public's memory.

The Phoenix Rising concert on Feb. 25 at the Dunkin' Donuts Center, in Providence, will bring a bill including a country segment — with John Rich, of BIG & RICH; Gretchen Wilson; Dierks Bentley; Randy Owen, of ALABAMA; and "American Idol"'s Kellie Pickler — and a rock segment — featuring an acoustic performance by STAIND frontman Aaron Lewis; TWISTED SISTER; WINGER; TESLA; Kevin Max; STRYPER; Tom Scholz and Gary Pihl, formerly of the platinum-selling group BOSTON; Carmine Appice's SLAM!; Danny Seraphine and more.

According to Troy Luccketta, co-organizer of the show and drummer of TESLA, the key to putting together such a huge bill was personal connections. "It's got to be personal or it just doesn't make sense."
