Buckcherry at The Paramount

The Island Now

The Los Angeles-based hard rock act Buckcherry formed in mid-1995, after singer Joshua Todd and guitarist Keith Nelson were introduced through their tattoo artist.

After cutting several demos, the duo recruited bassist Jonathan “J.B.” Brightman and drummer Devon Glenn and began performing live, quickly earning a local following for their swaggering, grunge-flavored music.

Following the subsequent addition of second guitarist Yogi Lonich, Buckcherry signed with DreamWorks Records and issued their self-titled, debut LP in 1999. Singles such as “Check Your Head” and “For the Movies” became modern rock hits, allowing Buckcherry to quickly raise their profile.

The band will now be heading to Long Island, performing with special guest Revel at The Paramount on Friday, March 9 at 8 p.m.

The Paramount is located at 370 New York Ave. in Huntington.
