“It has long been a dream of mine to be able to play the entire catalog of music I have been lucky enough to be associated with for my friends and Dammily the world over,” says Kerns. “Borrowing Trouble, my 2012 acoustic album, allowed me to do just that and more albeit generally alone behind an acoustic guitar.

As enjoyable as that is, and trust me it is bliss, it was always my intention to play it loud! As loud as possible. Hence the Anti-Stars.

A few months back I was asked to assemble some friends to jam and have fun with. I made three phone calls to three different individuals. No more. We jammed. It was magic. I had the audacity to ask these three talented men to help me realize a dream and they generously obliged.

Most of you know my long history with my brother, Doc Ellis. He and I have fought the rawk wars in Vegas since the advent of the 21st Century. If this is Happy Days I am Richie Cunningham; Doc is the Fonz.

Michael Elersic (we call him Mikeee) is simply one of the best musicians I have ever known. He is hands down the best bass player in Vegas. A little known fact – I played a solo showcase when I first came to Vegas ten years ago. Mikeee was the bass player. True story.

Corky Gainsford is a monster. Talented in multiple instruments, songwriting, production. Corky was a member of Century Media recording artists Otherwise from Vegas. He’s been one of the percussive maniacs behind the Blue Man Group for years. Corky is ‘Next Level’.

And what is ‘the dream’ you ask? To play music from The Age Of Electric to Static In Stereo to Go Time! to Sin City Sinners to Borrowing Trouble to Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators to TKO all in one night in one band. Well, that one Night has been realized… times four!

Four nights only to experience a career spanning catalog with a lineup of musicians cherry picked from the best of the best. Hear Borrowing Trouble acoustic songs fully realized as a complete electric rawk band. Hear deep cuts. Hear everything.

2016 has been a very rewarding year for me creatively with the release of TKO, and this is the culmination of all of that into four separate nights. Each night will be different than the last. Different songs. Different friends getting up to celebrate. I am ecstatic! Thank you for being a part of the past 30 years of my racket making. I look forward to celebrating with you in Las Vegas.”
