You have to feel sorry for singer/songwriter, Rocky Votolato. Not only does 90% of his discography consist of himself, an acoustic guitar, and sorrowful lyrics that reference love and whiskey, but his real name is actually ROCKY VOTOLATO. Then again, it must take a real bad-ass to avoid playground beatings and continue through to adulthood with such an unfortunate name. So, maybe Rocky isn’t such a poor sap after all? The only way to find out for sure is to catch him on one of the dates listed below. Make sure you give the dude a hug and buy him a drink when you see him, because there are some things that require a double-shot of Jameson instead of therapy.
