Rock band Teer will make the trek from Florida to co-bill with Neil. Originally formed in 1992 by the collaboration of drummer John Teer, and guitarists Shane French and Nathan Boone, central Florida melodic hard rock band Teer’s signature sound of crushing guitars and driving drums mixed with soaring vocals and outstanding songwriting has developed into one of the most distinct fingerprints left on the melodic rock scene. With the recent additions of bassist Rob DeVore and vocalist David McBee, Teer’s music is embraced by fans of almost every style of rock and by people of nearly every age group. Teer is currently recording a new CD with Jim Morris at Morrisound Studios in Tampa, Florida. http://www.teerband.com
