Maryland's
Sixty Watt Shaman rides again, as the
ACT has risen from the
Ashes to make their return to the stage and studio in 2014.
The classic
Sixty Watt Shaman lineup of vocalist/guitarist Dan Soren, bassist Rev Jim Forrester and drummer Chuck Dukehart III -- three quarters of
The Crew who brought the band's Seed of Decades and Ultra Electric albums to fruition -- will be delivering a set of time proven classics as well as some new surprises to celebrate the relaunch of this mighty outfit. Additionally, the band welcomes Todd (TI) Ingram from
King Giant aboard as their new lead guitarist to help write the next chapter in their sonic legacy. TI is no
Stranger to the genre as his heavy riffs and blistering leads are a signature part of KG. On the new band activities, Chuck Dukehart III stated, "We are
Beyond ecstatic to be making music together again!
Sixty Watt Shaman is and always will be a brotherhood and we are bonded by blood. It's always been ingrained in our bones. I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to writing this next chapter of the
Journey with my brothers in arms."
For 2014,
Sixty Watt Shaman has confirmed their spot headlining the much revered
