I got a phone call from Chris Ameral The drummer from The Nickel Slots. He tells me that They get to open for Bob Seger at Sleep Train Arena on Monday (3-9-2015) thanks to the music video we produced for them and asked me to be their band photographer and document the day. Of course I said yes. 
So what happened was, Bob Seger had to play a reschedule show here in Sacramento, the band who was touring with him could not make the date due to scheduling. Bob's people called a radio station in town (98 rock) and the sent off links for a handful of local bands, but it was the music video for The Devil's Chain Gang that pushed The Nickel Slots over the top and onto the stage.Video of 98 rock DJ's talking to Steve about the show
The show was great! The Nickel Slots knocked it out of the park! They put on a great show for a sold out arena. Bob Seger's people were super nice and accommodating, at one point they said our group was part of the family. Joe, the guy who's in charge of video production for the tour gave us the footage from the big screen displays for the band to use, and now they have great content for their social media outlets...It was a great day had by all it was probably the closest I have come to being a rock star. I was very happy for my friends and I was honored to be there and document it for them.
