We are so filled with gratitude to be attacking the U.S. with some of the best humans to ever grace the bunks of a tour bus!!!” Less than Jake’s drummer Vinnie Fiorello adds, “Touring with Pepper means only one thing, having a great time. Guaranteed. Both bands bring a summertime energy that will help get through the winter.”
