Bret Michaels-Parti Gras 2024 with Lou Gramm and Dee Snider; North Side Music Festival (Sat., 7/13/24)

1) He’s the good-looking cowboy from right here in western PA! You can bet the joint will be jumping when Butler native and diehard Steelers fan Bret Michaels revisits his home turf for a gig at The Pavilion at Star Lake. Michaels, born Bret Michael Sychak, has won fame in practically every way available. In addition to the solo career he launched in 1998, he’s been a founding member and longtime lead vocalist of the glam-metal rockers Poison. He wrote, directed, and starred in the movie A Letter from Death Row, with his friend and colleague Charlie Sheen. Michaels has even had his own reality TV shows. Expect to hear him doing new songs like “Back in the Day” along with numbers from his repertoire (maybe “The App Song”), vintage Poison hits, and more. The show is a highlight of Bret’s Parti-Gras 2.0 tour. Guest list for the Parti includes Dee Snider, Lou Gramm, Don Felder, and Chris Janson. 7 p.m. 665 PA Route 18, Burgettstown. (M.V.)
