Tuff announce tour dates for May and June with fill in touring guitarist Dougie Manross

Tuff consisting of frontman Stevie Rachelle, founding member and bassist Todd Chaisson, drummer Tod “T” Burr and new touring guitarist Douglas “Lixx” Manross have announced some tour dates for the upcoming months of May and June. The 23 year old Manross will be replacing Tuff‘s usual guitarist Billy Morris for this run of shows.

The following message was posted in part on Tuff‘s Facebook page earlier today:

“HELLO MAY 2023…

TUFF is hitting the road for a few shows in Ohio later this month, and then in June we will be in Wisconsin for a 3-day weekend.

Please share with local and regional friends to help us get the word out… we haven’t played Wisconsin in years, so be sure to tell a friend.

We have some other dates coming later in the summer and fall, and in 2024… we’re super stoked and will announce these as they are ready to do so!

We’re also introducing a new touring guitarist, please welcome Dougie Manross, who is substituting for Billy Morris as he is double booked for some of our summer shows.

Ironically, we will be playing with The Billy Morris Band on both of our Ohio shows, including the annual Jani Lane Tribute show which we’re stoked to announce, that Bobbie Brown will be present, along with both of Jani‘s daughters, Taylor and Maddi too!

For June, we’ll be at WATER-FEST in Oshkosh with the amazing HAIRBALL from Minnesota, and The Cherrypops will be supporting us in Milwaukee, and we round out the month returning to The Back Bar in Janesville.

See you all soon… and please share or a tag a friend!

TUFF is…
