## Resource

Jason Newsted, ex-Metallica bassist and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, is back on the road with The Chophouse Band, hitting stages with Blackberry Smoke across July—including a finale at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. Known for gritty Americana that blends bluegrass, folk, soul, and metal, the band delivers heavy riffs and heartfelt lyrics, all while Newsted says he’s doing it for the love of music and reconnecting with old friends—not the money. Since 1992, he’s toured periodically for charity, and after shelving his solo metal project due to financial pressures, he’s now embracing this new chapter with joy and grit.
