Guitar icon Slash returns to his musical foundations with the release of the electrifying live album and concert film ‘Live At The S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival’, out now via earMUSIC. This full-throttle collection captures the legendary guitarist and his formidable ensemble, Slash’s Blues Ball, during their blistering performance at Denver’s Mission Ballroom. Throughout the set, the band tears through soulful reinterpretations of blues and rock staples by titans like Robert Johnson, Howlin’ Wolf, and Jimi Hendrix. The project serves as a definitive live companion to his solo blues album ‘Orgy of the Damned’, featuring the debut of his original instrumental “Metal Chestnut” alongside a sprawling rendition of “Stone Free.” Beyond the music, the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival—an acronym for Solidarity, Engagement, Restore, Peace, Equality N’ Tolerance—stands as a philanthropic powerhouse, having raised over $125,000 for various social justice and mental health nonprofits during its inaugural run.
