Fans attending the Carnival Of Madness tour this summer are in for an experience like no other.

Shinedown

The Jacksonville, Florida-based rock outfit Shinedown have been touring worldwide in support of their career defining album The Sound Of Madness since its release in 2008. The band’s run of hit singles from this album alone has made them one of the most successful rock bands of the decade. Shinedown’s latest album, The Sound Of Madness, was produced by multiple Grammy Award-winner Rob Cavallo (Kid Rock, Green Day, My Chemical Romance). The band’s fifth single from The Sound Of Madness “The Crow & The Butterfly” is at radio now.

Chevelle

Formed in 1995 Chevelle have remained a staple in the rock scene with seven Top 5 Modern Rock hits under their belt, including the #1 songs “Send the Pain Below” and “Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)” as well as fan favorites, “Jars,” “The Red” and “The Clincher”. The band is made up of Pete Loeffler (vocals, guitars), brother Sam Loeffler (drums), and brother-in-law Dean Bernardini (bass). Their latest album Sci-Fi Crimes was co-produced with Brian Virtue (Jane’s Addiction, 30 Seconds to Mars, Deftones) in Nashville, Tennessee.

Puddle of Mudd

Singer/guitarist Wes Scantlin, guitarist Paul Phillips, bassist Doug Ardito and drummer Ryan Yerdon. Since their 2001 debut album Come Clean, Puddle of Mudd have sold over seven million albums and boast a steady string of Number One smash hits including “Blurry, “She Hates Me,” “Control,” and “Psycho.” The band has been touring nonstop in support of their current album Volume 4: Songs in the Key of Love & Hate.

Sevendust

In late 1994 Vinnie Hornsby and Morgan Rose were playing in a band called Snake Nation. At one of their gigs they were supported by fellow locals Body & Soul, an R&B band fronted by Lajon. Vinnie and Morgan were subsequently blown away by Lajon's range and intensity and the immediate feeling was that if they ever hooked up with this guy the results would be amazing. So Vinnie and Morgan -- the best musicians of their kind in town -- decided to do the only thing they could do. They stole Lajon, the best singer in town, grabbed guitarists John Connolly (who at the time was playing drums for the band Peacedog) and Lee Banks, dubbed themselves Rumblefish and prepared to rock.
