Basstory Tour Dates Added
Friday, July 27, 2018 at 08:37AM Happy Friday - we made it through another week. I took a vacation day to go to the pool and to relax my back.
From my inbox:
Grammy Award Winning Megadeth bassist, author, entrepreneur, and Metal Icon David Ellefson has announced more dates for his BASSTORY tour, a series of limited and exclusive "Storytellers" dates, starting 9/20 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.
4 new dates have been added with support from Combat Records artists Green Death, and Chicago classic Thrashers WRATH.
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. BASSTORY DATES:

Emailed the concert promoter about the lack of VIP tickets for the Portland show (relatively close to me). He email back after a few days and said: "Email the local promoter." I did and heard nothing back. Not exactly customer-friendly. Oh well. I will spend my money elsewhere even if I was willing to spend it supporting Ellefson.
I get that you and a fair number of BBGer’s may find this sort of thing interesting, but you could spend more dinero on the next show you’re going to in order to get closer for a better kind of intimate portrait of a Les Paul cranked up in your face rather than this bass nerdfest where someone of limited Rock n’ Roll pedigree investigates his own navel.
