Sunday, June 17, 2018 at 08:00AM
Grammy Award Winning Megadeth bassist, author, entrepreneur, and Metal Icon David Ellefson has announced the first dates for his BASSTORY tour, a series of limited and exclusive "Storytellers" dates, starting 9/21 in Portland.
Dubbed “Basstory: An Intimate Evening of Riffs and Repartee with David Ellefson”, the show combines solo bass performance with David’s celebrated brand of storytelling, as he recounts intimate details of his struggles and triumphs in the name of Rock N’ Roll.
BASSTORY will also include special VIP meet and greets, exclusive merchandise, and more.
Says Ellefson, “I have always done clinics, and a few years ago did an amazing spoken word tour in Australia to support my book My Life With ‘Deth, and have always welcomed the opportunity to be able to meet and connect with fans on a more intimate level. These important parts of my professional life converged to create BASSTORY. Not only will fans get to hear some of their favorite bass riffs, but the stories behind them. It’s not often I get to get into small, intimate Rock clubs, the way this all started, and I’m excited for fans to get to experience this show.”
Tickets and limited VIPS are available for purchase at davidellefsonbasstory.com

No Portland VIP though? Hmm. What gives? That would be an easy show for me to get to (as would the Spokane event . . . lots of Northwest stuff; interesting). And Dantes is a fun place to see this sort of thing and/or good cover bands.
I find Ellefson to be an all around positive dude, whether you dig all the good deeds he does due to his religious beliefs or not. Sure, he has had some iffy moments (that suit again Mustaine was a head scratcher to me, even if Mustaine is often a head scratcher to me). Sure, he also runs interference in the press for Mustaine when he sticks his foot in his mouth. But he strikes me as genuinely caring about music, the fans, and giving back. The metal community is better for having people like him around.
