Son of a Gun: A Guns ‘N Roses Tribute

Time: October 8, 2023 @ 7:30 pm
Venue: Historic Academy Theatre
Cost: $20 – $55

Son Of A Gun is the best Guns N’ Roses tribute band on planet earth. Fronted by Ari Kamin, lead singer of Steven Adler of Guns N’ Roses, this five-piece Rock N’ Roll band based in Los Angeles is able to bring a stadium show to any kind of venue. Formed in 2012 in Argentina, they took advantage of the experience gained in years of touring the United States and quickly became the hottest band in L.A. Closing the lineup are Johnny Mayo on Lead Guitar, Jimmie Romero on Rhythm Guitar, ‘Chotas’ on Bass and Tom Gold on Drums.

 

Nobody can do Axl except for Axl and the guy that Steven Adler is playing with, Ari, he is amazing as well” – Justin Hawkins (The Darkness)

An Argentinian guy that is just phenomenal. I mean the guy is mean. You got to go on YouTube and see some videos of the guy. He’s amazing” – Jeff Pilson (Foreigner)

It’s good to know that the future of rock n’ roll is in great hands. What I admire most about Ariel, he reminds me of what makes rock n’ roll fun” – Angel Alamo (The Metal Summit)

Ari has the pizazz necessary for an entertaining frontman in addition to the vocal ability.” – Shannon Wilk, MetalTalk
