Black N Blue GB Leighton’s Pickle Park Fridley MN 5/10/14

Viking Rocker Productions presents Black N Blue.

Black N Blue hit a stage in Minnesota for the first time ever! Coming in to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of their first album Black N Blue.  They performed at GB Leighton’s Pickle Park, now Route 47.  It’s a cool place for a show because it makes for a slightly intimate performance.  It was just a lot of fun.

The band consisted of original members Jamie St. James on vocals, Patrick Young on bass and Pete Holmes on drums. On guitars is Shawn Sonnenschein.  Shawn Sonnenschein replaced Tommy Thayer in 2003 and Brandon Cook, replacing Jeff Warner.

The band had never peformed in Minnesota before. To say the least, most of us were really excited to finally see the band.

Cranking out the hits Nasty Nasty, Wicked Bitch, Rockin’ On Heaven’s Door, Miss Misery, The Strong Will Always Rock, School of Hard Knocks, Hold On To 18 and many more.

The whole night Jamie sounded perfect and the band did not miss a beat. Best line overheard in the crowd was, “I’ve waited 27 years for this.” Hopefully we do not have to wait that long a repeat performance.

Black ‘N Blue’s legacy in the glam metal genre is undeniable. They continue to inspire new generations of rock fans with their timeless sound and electrifying performances. For anyone looking to experience the heart of ’80s metal, Black ‘N Blue offers a ride through the glory days of glam, with a promise of more rockin’ moments to come.
