Joe Perry took the stage with a brief guitar intro that gave a glimpse into what was in store for the night. Backed by a sparse band featuring just guitar and drums, James certainly left the audience wanting more. Prowling the stage as the product of an unholy alliance between Marc Bolan, Luke Spiller, and Harry Styles, James seems like someone born to be a rockstar. Up next was an artist perhaps unknown to most of the crowd at the start, but with killer songs and a huge stage presence, Micky James will not be unknown for long. With a record coming out shortly, they are certainly a band to keep your eye on. The influence of Dad’s band is obvious on Zander. They started a little tentative but caught their stride after a few songs. Early in the set, Zander noted that this was the first show played by the currently unnamed band. Zander, son of Cheap Trick frontman Robin Zander. The current version, featuring original bassist David Hull, vocalist Gary Cherone (Extreme), keyboardist Buck Johnson, and drummer Jason Sutter stormed into Foxwoods Casino with a show that will leave no doubt that Perry is one of the architects of America’s greatest rock n’ roll band.

Over the years, Perry has reformed the Project with various members. The Joe Perry Project was first formed in 1979 when Perry left Aerosmith.
