On The Way: Bret Michaels, April 15 @ Rib Room
March 15th, 2010 at 10:40 am
It’s Monday. Which means you’re having nothing but a good time, right?
Those who dismiss reality television as junk are perhaps forgetting the most amazing thing it has ever been responsible for: the resurrection of the career of Poison frontman Bret Michaels, star of the now-gone reality show “Rock of Love.” He’s currently featured in “Celebrity Apprentice 3,” which debuted yesterday (March 14).
He played in Northwest Arkansas (at the also now-gone Icehouse of Bentonville) about three years ago, but not to the fanfare that I suspect will greet him when we performs at Neumeier’s Rib Room in Fort Smith on April 15, a Thursday.
Michaels, outside of his reality television appearances, is best known for his work with Poison, whose hits include “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “Talk Dirty To Me” and “Unskinny Bop,” among others.
Michaels also has a successful solo performing career while he continues to perform with Poison.
Tickets for the April show, part of Michaels’ “Roses and Thorns Tour,” will go on sale Friday (March 19) through the venue’s Web site. No word on prices.
