American Idol Season 9 alum, Siobhan Magnus has some exciting news! She’ll be fronting a new 90’s style band named Doubtful Guest featuring former members of Godsmack, Everclear, Candlebox and Thind Eye Blind.
Read the announcement from the singer’s official website. Congrats, Siobhan and good luck with your new venture!
Following the summer show at The Melody Tent, Sammy Hudson presented us an idea and concept to put together a touring 90s type band with Siobhan fronting the group.
We’ve all been doing our homework and contacting players who might like the concept and are pleased to announce the new project for 2013: Doubtful Guest.
Doubtful Guest is a new band featuring former members of Godsmack, Everclear, Candlebox and Third Eye Blind fronted by American Idol rocker finalist, Siobhan Magnus.
Guitarist Tony Fredianelli (Third Eye Blind), guitarist Peter Klett (Candlebox), drummer Tommy Stewart (Godsmack, Fuel) and bassman Sammy Hudson (Everclear) have joined forces with newcomer Siobhan Magnus (American Idol season 9 sixth place finalist) to “re-present” their hits and personal favorites from the nineties in concert, while developing new original music as a working band.
The Nashville-based band plan to showcase in Nashville in mid-February and be road-ready by late March 2013.
Godsmack, Candlebox, Everclear and Third Eye Blind have a combined proven track record of hits (over sixty million sales worldwide). The added visiblity of a recent American Idol finalist offers the project a huge social media base from which to launch.
Plans to fund the initial start up include Kickstarter where fans can pledge their support for the project and be invited to actively participate in the development of the group, help select song lists, recordings and even venues for the band to play!!!
