(Niagara Falls, ON) October 15, 2024 – Get ready for Jerry Cantrell, who is set to take over the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino on Friday, January 31, 2025, as part of his I Want Blood Tour! Joining Cantrell is special guest Filter. Tickets go on sale Friday, October 18 at 10:00am through ticketmaster.ca.
“Jerry Cantrell is rock royalty, and this performance will be electric,” says Cathy Price, Vice President of Marketing, Niagara Casinos. “It’s a fantastic honour to host one of the most legendary guitarists of all time at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino.”
His vocals, melodies, and riffs are as instantly recognizable as they are powerful, nuanced, and eclectic. Both a disciple of the hard rock tradition and a massive influence on subsequent generations of artists, Jerry Cantrell straddles the line between earnest salt-of-the-earth songwriter and beloved living legend. His fourth solo album I Want Blood arrives with all the aggression and heavy, inexhaustible stomp its title suggests. The follow-up to the best-reviewed solo album of Cantrell’s career 2021’s Brighten further expands his musical palette without sacrificing any of his inescapably infectious melodic hooks. “Vilified,” which opens the album, is an anthem, a mission statement, kicking off I Want Blood with attitude. Cantrell’s mountain of work as a solo artist and chief songwriter, guitarist, and co-vocalist in Alice In Chains stands tall in influence and respect. He’s collaborated with Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Danzig, and Deftones, among others. He’s contributed to music heard in films by Academy Award-winner Cameron Crowe and Judd Apatow and entries in the John Wick and Spider-Man franchises. Rolling Stone named the multi-platinum Tacoma, Washington native one of the greatest guitar players of all time. His catalog mines the best of metal, rock, blues, and Americana.
Joining Cantrell is rock band Filter. Filter’s debut album Short Bus was released in 1995 and went platinum, largely due to the success of their first single “Hey Man Nice Shot.” The follow up, 1999’s Title of Record, also went platinum driven by the huge crossover success of the song “Take a Picture.” Celebrating 30 years of Filter, 2023 saw the much-anticipated release of a new Filter album The Algorithm.
