By Drew Carrano
People! If there’s one rock band that enjoys coming to Connecticut, it’s KISS. Since the mid-1970’s KISS has played just about everywhere from The Palace Theater in Waterbury to the old New Haven Coliseum. Now as they say farewell on their “End of the Road” World Tour, which is on hiatus due to the Coronavirus, we look back at one of their many shows here in Connecticut.
Today’s Throwback Concert:
KISS

About The Tour: After a massive 40th Anniversary World Tour in 2014-15, KISS announced its next tour called “Freedom To Rock” in 2016. The tour kicked off on July 4, 2016 in Tucson, Arizona and would visit over 30 North American cities, including Bridgeport and Uncasville. KISS visited mostly secondary markets and smaller cities it hadn’t be to in over a decade, some never before. Bridgeport, for example, last had KISS in town in 2003. The “Freedom To Rock” Tour was dedicated to veterans with a focus to help Hiring Our Heroes and the Veteran Tickets Foundation.

Throwback Concert: Chris Cornell at Shubert Theater 2013
By Drew Carrano
Soundgarden never played New Haven Coliseum. Not even Toad’s Place. But on the night of November 20, 2013 New Haven music fans got the next best thing: a solo performance by Chris Cornell himself at the beautiful, historic Shubert Theater.
Today’s Throwback Concert:
Chris Cornell
Songbook North American Acoustic Tour 2013
Wednesday November 20, 2013
The Shubert Theater – New Haven
About The Tour:After a successful 2011 solo tour, Chris Cornell went out on the road again by himself for a 30-city, two month North American tour in the fall of 2013. The tour kicked off in San Diego on October 15, 2013 and wrapped up with a pair of shows in Atlantic City in late November. On this tour Cornell covered his extensive catalogue and then some. From Soundgarden to Audioslave to stripped down covers by The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. He did a little of everything and his fans loved every second of it.
The show at The Shubert Theatre was a sellout. Every dollar of every ticket sold that night went towards The Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation, and a portion of the sales also benefited The ChildHavens Creative Music Therapy Program. Chris Cornell was all about giving back.
