Staind's Aaron Lewis Plots Solo Tour Dates

Staind frontman Aaron Lewis has been talking about releasing his first solo album since last December, but while we wait for the record to materialize, he's put together a handful of acoustic shows for next year. He'll start January 1 in Nevada and end up in Biloxi, Mississippi at the end of March.

Lewis and Staind have been on the road pretty much since their last album, The Illusion of Progess, dropped August of 2008. Lewis had planned on working on his solo disc last spring but whether he actually had time to do it is unclear. Unless an announcement is forthcoming, your best bet to hear new Lewis material is to check out one of these solo shows.
