THE WINERY DOGS, the power trio featuring drummer Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, ADRENALINE MOB), legendary bassist Billy Sheehan (MR. BIG, TALAS, DAVID LEE ROTH) and guitarist/vocalist Richie Kotzen (MR. BIG, POISON), will launch another U.S. headlining tour on Saturday, June 25 in Hinckley, Minnesota at the Grand Casino Amphitheatre. The band is on the road in support of its second album, “Hot Streak”, which was released last October in North America via Loud & Proud Records.
To get fans revved up for the new tour, the hard-rocking trio will release a new single, “Captain Love”, to radio on June 3. A Vicente Cordero-directed video for the song can be seen below.
“Captain Love” is one of the band’s favorite songs on the album. While lyricist/singer/guitarist Richie Kotzen doesn’t confess to be the subject of the song, drummer Mike Portnoy believes it’s the perfect groove to be played in strip clubs around the world.
“Eight months after kicking off our first U.S. leg last October and following runs in Europe, Japan and South America,” explains Portnoy, “we are excited to round home plate and return home with some more U.S. shows in June and July.”
THE WINERY DOGS‘ May 27 performance at Teatro Cariola in Santiago, Chile will be professionally filmed and recorded for an upcoming DVD and Blu-ray.
“Hot Streak” debuted at No. 30 on The Billboard 200 chart, having shifted 13,000 equivalent album units in the week ending October 8, 2015.
