The Creed and Alter Bridge guitarist will be singing Frank Sinatra hits and Christmas classics in select intimate venues
In December, Mark Tremonti has confirmed some exclusive solo shows on the East Coast. The Creed and Alter Bridge guitarist is turning off the amps and grabbing the mic, treating fans to intimate evenings of Frank Sinatra hits and Christmas classics. Check out the full tour itinerary below.
Although fans were already familiar with Mark behind the mic, with 2022’s Tremonti Sings Sinatra, Mark surprised the world with the range of his vocal chops. He paid homage to 14 Sinatra classics backed by surviving members of Ol’ Blue Eyes’ band in addition to a cadre of A-list session players. Right out of the gate, it incited widespread audience and tastemaker applause. Donating all of the album’s proceeds to the National Down Syndrome Society [NDSS] as part of his Take A Chance For Charity initiative, NDSS notably honored Mark and his family at its Annual Gala & Auction in 2023 and was a featured performer in 2024. Moreover, the album hit No. 1 on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums Chart, and he would go on to play a handful of sold-out shows in support of the album. In May 2024, Mark Tremonti performed acoustic at the inaugural, sold-out Tremonti Family Golf Outing in support of NDSS with his reunited Creed bandmates of Scott Stapp, Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips.
In the Fall of 2023, Mark released Christmas Classics New & Old – his interpretation of nine holiday classics and one original penned song from the acclaimed songwriter himself. From the opening horns of “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” to the slow fade of the Donny Hathaway classic “This Christmas,” Mark Tremonti showcases the music that was the bedrock of his childhood holidays. “O Holy Night” is one of Mark’s personal favorites and finds new life in the inspired arrangement by producer Carey Deadman. Mark also took the time to create his own holiday composition called “Christmas Morning.” Christmas Classics New & Old will sit alongside the most-cherished holiday albums and continues to showcase the musical diversity inside Mark Tremonti.
Back in February, Mark confirmed to fans on his official social media that he is working on new material for the next Tremonti record, saying he’s already written “many new songs” for the project.
“Currently writing a new Tremonti album,” Mark stated. “Many new songs have been born.”
Tremont’s last solo effort was 2021’s Marching in Time. Released through Napalm Records, the disc hit No. 1 on the UK’s Rock & Metal Albums chart, and cracked the Billboard 200 at No. 184. Produced by frequent collaborator Michael “Elvis” Baskette (Alter Bridge, Falling In Reverse, Limp Bizkit), the album churned out four singles.
The tireless Tremonti already has a stacked schedule ahead of him this year, and it’s already in full swing. In addition to working on new solo material, the guitar icon is hitting the road with his first band, Creed. Due to overwhelming fan response, the multi-platinum rockers recently added a second leg to their 2024 reunion tour. The new round of dates begins on November 2 at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and wraps up on December 5 at the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida. Very special guests for the run will be 3 Doors Down, Mammoth WVH, and Finger Eleven on select dates.
The first round of dates set to launch on July 17 at the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The run wraps up on September 28 at Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Very special guests for the trek will be 3 Doors Down, Daughtry, Switchfoot, Tonic, Big Wreck, and Finger Eleven on select dates.
In addition to the headlining shows, Creed will also be putting on a special one-day festival dubbed Summer of ’99 and Beyond with 3 Doors Down, Daughtry, Finger Eleven, Fuel, Vertical Horizon, and The Verve Pipe on Saturday, August 31 at the Glen Helen Amphitheatre in San Bernardino, California.
Last month, Creed played their first show in over a decade aboard their Summer of ’99 cruise. The trip also featured 3 Doors Down, Buckcherry, Tonic, Vertical Horizon, Fuel, The Verve Pipe, Tantric, Dishwalla, Nine Days, and Louise Post of Veruca Salt. Due to overwhelming demand, a second cruise was added after the first sold out.
