Penn’s Peak announces Sons of Apollo to play Feb. 7

Penn’s Peak has announced Sons of Apollo with special guest Tony MacAlpine will take the stage at 8 p.m. on Feb. 7, 2020.

General admission tickets for the show go on sale at noon on Wednesday at all Ticketmaster outlets, the Penn’s Peak Box Office and Roadies Restaurant and Bar. Penn’s Peak Box Office and Roadies Restaurant ticket sales are walk-up only, no phone orders.

Sons of Apollo is a new supergroup featuring members of Dream Theater, Mr. Big, Guns ‘N Roses, and Journey, including Mike Portnoy and Derek Sherinian, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, Billy Sheehan and Jeff Scott Soto. Their debut album, Psychotic Symphony, was released on Oct. 20 via InsideOutMusic/Sony Music.

“Derek and I reunited shortly after I left Dream Theater in 2010 and we put together an all-instrumental touring band with Billy Sheehan and Tony MacAlpine,” Portnoy said. “That was my first time working with Derek since the ‘90s when he was in Dream Theater, and it was just great to be working with him again. Ever since that tour, which was really just a one-off live thing, he has been nudging me to start a real, original, full-time band. The timing just had never been right, because I had too many other things on my plate. Long story short, the time was finally right to take the bait and put together a band.”

Tony MacAlpine

The name Tony MacAlpine is synonymous with modern musical virtuosity. Whether performing as a solo artist, band member, session player, touring hired-gun, or as a producer, MacAlpine continues to prove that he truly is one of rock’s most amazing and versatile musicians. He incorporates classical, jazz and fusion influences into the hard rock/metal genre on both guitar and keyboards.

In his 28-year career he has produced, written and arranged 11 solo instrumental studio albums.
