Lead Vocalist Josh Todd founded Buckcherry in the mid 90’s after bonding with guitarist Keith Nelson over a mutual appreciation of AC/DC in a California tattoo parlour. After recording music together, they added a bass player, Jonathan Brightman, and a drummer, Devon Glenn, and toured local bars and clubs in Hollywood, under the name Sparrow.
After gaining a local fanbase due to their classic rock n roll style, they were quickly snapped up by Dreamsworks Records, and forced to change their name to legal reasons. The band claims they named themselves after a draq queen in Hollywood.
Buckcherry released their self-titled debut studio album in 1999, which was a commercial and critical success, with the album certified Gold. Following on from the album, the band toured extensively, with highlights including an opening slot for Lenny Kravitz and playing at Woodstock festival.
They quickly followed with a sophomore album “Time Bomb” in 2001, however they album was considered by fans and critics as a disappointment, and with various artistic differences and member changes within the group, the band eventually broke up in 2002
After Todd and Nelson flirted with a project with Guns N’ Roses member Slash, and wrote and produced records for other bands such as Velvet Revolver, they decided to reform Buckcherry for a second stint in 2005.
They unleashed their successful comeback album “15” in 2006, which marked the completion of a successful return for the group as it was certified platinum. Since their return, Buckcherry have continued to write fruitful albums, including 2013’s “Confessions”.
Since their comeback, the band have played on massive tours with rock behemoths KISS and Motley Crue, and contributed music to movie soundtracks such as the “Avengers Assemble”
Jackyl is a hard rocking, hard partying, pass me the bottle rock band that always puts on a tremendous show. Led by lead singer Jesse James Dupree, Jackyl combines hard rock with a little backwoods country to put you in the dancing mood. Jesse is always good at pumping up the crowd with a few jokes, a few stories and getting everyone to sing a long with him.
The closer to their show is the band's biggest hit "The Lumberjack". Jesse and the band play the hell out of their instruments and Jesse breaks out his chainsaw and incorporates it into the song. I highly recommend seeing Jackyl at least once in your life. It's not just a concert, it's a rock and roll experience!!!

Buckcherry have been a band out of time for as long as they’ve been together. Formed in 1995 they were too late to fit in with the Glam Metal scene of their native Los Angeles, too late to ride the wave of grunge in the early 90’s and a little bit too early to truly capitalize on the post-grunge boom at the turn of the 21st century. However, if you don’t fit in you can only stand out, and that’s exactly what Buckcherry do. They’ve built up a devoted fan-base by not only fusing the two genres that they missed the boat on the first time around better than anyone else around, but also by regularly turning in staggering live show after staggering live show which anyone can see to this day. Combining the street-born swagger of golden era Guns ‘n’ Roses with the tuned down riffs and heavy angst of Silverchair and Shinedown, a Buckcherry concert can stake a legitimate claim to being a melting pot of the last thirty years of American rock. Everything that made it exciting, edgy and life affirming can be found in spades along with Keith Nelson and Stevie D.’s duelling, scything guitar work, while all being conducted to perfection by Josh Todd, a frontman who could be the dictionary definition of commanding. The band hasn’t missed a step live as they come up to their 20th year as a band, and they’re only getting better. So anyone looking for the best time they can have with some sensational riffs and amps turned to twelve can’t go wrong with an evening with Buckcherry.
