By Melissa DeBrigida-Parent After a seven-year hiatus, rock supergroup The Winery Dogs hit the road in support of their newly released third album, III. The long-awaited ”202III World Tour” kicked off on February 15, 2023 in Pennsylvania. Music Matters Media Productions, LLC and Philly Rock Radio were in attendance, covering their performance just two days into the tour on February 17 at The Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA. The mighty lineup of guitarist/vocalist Richie Kotzen (Poison, Mr. Big, solo), bassist/vocalist Billy Sheehan (David Lee Roth, Mr. Big, Steve Vai), and drummer/vocalist Mike Portnoy (Sons of Apollo, Dream Theater) are back and better than ever.

Taking the stage first, longtime rocker and radio personality Keith Roth (Sirius/XM DJ/Hairnation/Ozzy’sBoneyard), performing with his band Frankenstein 3000. Their punk & rock-laced set included a surprise performance of Imperial Teen’s “You’re One” with Philly/Jersey's own ZouZou Mansour (Soraia) getting the crowd on their feet.

After a short intermission, the lights dimmed, the intro music played, the guys took the stage and the audience broke out in applause. Wasting no time, the set started with two new, full-throttled
singles “Gaslight” and “Xanadu” and continued with a diverse, mix of old and new hits like “I’m No Angel,” “The Other Side,” “Breakthrough,” “Mad World,” “Oblivion,” and “Elevate” spanning from their eponymous debut album The Winery Dogs released in 2013, Hot Streak released in 2015, and of course III released earlier this month. The set arrangement encompasses the trio's work thus far, which was a beautiful thing, especially for newer fans. (See the full setlist below) This hard-hitting, powerhouse trio oozes talent. Each one is a virtuoso in their own right, and together, they create powerful, soulful, emotional, complex works of musical art. The Winery Dog’s multi-genre masterpieces take you on a ride, tell you a story and invoke many different emotions within each song. You could see how connected they are and how much they enjoy being on stage together. It wasn't about one band member more than another within the songs and performances. Just Kotzen, Sheehan, and Portnoy together, reminding us what we've been missing for the last seven years. If you're lucky enough to be near one the upcoming tour stops here in the U.S. or abroad and have a chance to go… do it!

Staying topical, we also talked about the recent Thundermother shakeup – did we lose one of our newer favorite bands, or have we gained multiple new favorites? You can be the judge when you hear new single ”Inception” from ex-lead singer Guernica Mancini, as well as ”Corporate Hell” from ex-bassist Mona Lindgren. In our LOCAL SPOTLIGHT we welcomed back The Dead Flowers out of South Jersey, with their recent single “The Taste.” And since we broadcast in our studio, high atop The Record Museum in West Berlin, NJ (don’t forget to mention Philly Rock Radio for 10% off any purchase you make) – we plan to bring you more snap, crackles, hisses, and pops, playing vinyl records. In a new segment we’re calling THE VINYL WRAP-UP, we heard “All The Way” from Triumph’s Never Surrender album released in 1982. We recommend you check out the new Banger Films rock doc Triumph: Rock & Roll Machine. And we got a very cool, very deep, pick from the vault on the playlist -- you're gonna want to hear it! Get in touch with us by email or text 856-248-0988 On the next show, we’ll have a call in from RockNPod founder Chris Czynszak taking place March 17-19, 2023 in Nashville, TN MARCH 9th -- SAVE THE DATE -- We're holding another Museum Mingler -- Open house at the Record Museum, featuring the bands Sik Vikki and Carte Blanche, who will be here to promote their show at The Union Firehouse in Mt.
