Sevendust rolls out more spring tour dates

Sevendust --whose lineup now features new guitarist Sonny Mayo--has nailed down more shows for its spring run on the U.S. club and theater circuit.

The group's itinerary, which still begins with an April 6 performance in Tampa, now stretches into early May. The itinerary is included below.

The run marks the debut of the group's new lineup, which now features original members Lajon Witherspoon (vocals), Morgan Rose (drums), Vince Hornsby (bass) and John Connolly (guitar), along with new axe-slinger Mayo--formerly of Snot and Amen--who takes over for departed co-founder Clint Lowery.

Lowery jumped ship in December due to "personal issues," according to an announcement issued at the time.

Sevendust's most recent release is last year's "Southside Double-Wide Acoustic Live." The group recorded the unplugged set during its Sept. 12, 2003 performance in Athens, GA.

The acoustic collection is the follow-up to Sevendust's latest studio effort, 2003's "Seasons." Work on a new album is underway, though no release date has been announced. Fans won't have to wait for the new album to surface before hearing some new material, however.

"There are a lot of things in the works for Sevendust and it would be premature to start talking about them right now," Mayo said in a message posted Wednesday (3/23) at the band's new website. "What I can tell you is that we are starting rehearsals next week, and we will be giving you a taste of two new Sevendust songs on tour."

Joining Sevendust on the road will be British reggae-metal group Skindred , which is backing its 2004 debut, "Babylon"; and West Virginia-based hard rock outfit Bobaflex , which issued its debut full-length, "Primitive Epic," in 2003.
