Following a successful cross-country tour around the release of his latest album CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN (and first solo effort in 10 years), singer, songwriter, author, Broadway star, and actor SEBASTIAN BACH is preparing to hit the road again this fall.
Along with the tour announcement, BACH is celebrating one of the album’s leading tracks “(Hold On) To The Dream” (written by Sebastian Bach, Michael Elvis Baskette, Devin Bronson and Isaac Heath Carpenter) with an alternate video for the song. Watch the clip here.
“We are beyond super stoked for you to check out the new ‘(Hold On) To The DREam EDIT’ Video! This song is becoming completely iconic in our live set! Enjoy the new version of video–which is similar to the previous one–just a little more finished! I am overjoyed to give you all a fresh look and listen to this song which completely mesmerizes the crowd and the band live every night! Looking forward to seeing you all Bach on the Road! We will give you a 100% LIVE rock ‘n’ roll show no tapes no fakes all real all the time cuz that’s the only way we know how to do it! Come and see a real rock ‘n’ roll show while it still exists!”
SEBASTIAN’s fall dates kick off October 4 in Portland, with dates in the U.S., including two shows at The Whisky in Los Angeles, plus 16 dates in his native Canada (see full itinerary below).
“The new album CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN is the rock ‘n’ roll gift that keeps on giving!” BACH says. “We are so excited to take this music across Canada and the USA this fall 2024! In addition to songs from the new record we will also be Celebrating the 35th Anniversary of the first record Skid Row 1989 – 2024!”
Here’s some feedback of SEBASTIAN BACH’s summer 2024 shows:
“Sebastian Bach’s still got it… Bach came out swinging with Child Within the Man lead single ‘What Do I Got to Lose?,’ a vintage metal anthem that worked the audience into a fast frenzy… It was a blast, just like the rest of his set — because Bach has never forgotten the long-lost art of having fun at a rock show. It’s difficult not to share his enthusiasm when he swings his microphone above his head or pounds the air like a boxer. Bach has been at this for nearly four decades now, and he remains a proverbial defender of the faith with the chops to back it up. The times have changed, but his conviction has not — and if you squint your eyes and listen close during the opening scream of ‘Youth Gone Wild,’ you can still catch a glimpse of the child within the man.”
“Knowing everyone there could probably recite every verse, Bach let the crowd sing the first couple of verses…but when he kicked into the chorus it was incredible how great his voice sounded. Scratch that! Not only great, but a voice that kicks ass…If there was any doubt about how the new tunes or even Sebastian Bach’s pipes they were quickly put to rest.”
–David LaMason, ParkLife DC, 5/22/24 (on 5/19 Baltimore, MD Show)
“Rounding out the band were bassist Clay Eubank and guitarist Brody DeRozie. These guys put on a solid show backing one of the greatest vocalists of our time in Sebastian Bach. Don’t pass up seeing this show if it comes to your neck of the woods.”
“On a sultry mid-summer night at the end of June, Sebastian Bach, the iconic frontman of 80s Metal band Skid Row, took the stage at the Majestic Ventura Theater in Ventura, CA, for a night of electrifying rock…Sebastian Bach and his band took the stage…for an explosive 16 song set, that literally rattled the walls of the vintage era theater…The show was full of nostalgic MTV-era classic rock, a genre that dominated the music scene in the 1980s and early 1990s. This style, characterized by its catchy melodies, anthemic choruses, and guitar-driven sound, was showcased in Bach’s performance. Despite the nostalgic vibe, the show also highlighted Bach’s incredible vocal skills, which remain as vibrant and powerful as ever.”
–L. Paul Mann, Wildfire Music, 7/22/24 (on 6/26 Ventura, CA Show)
CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN was recorded in Orlando, Florida; produced and mixed by Baskette; engineered by Jef Moll, assistant engineered by Josh Saldate; and mastered by Robert Ludwig/Gateway Mastering. BACH wrote or co-wrote all the album’s 11 tracks and sang all lead and backing vocals. CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN features guest appearances from John 5, Steve Stevens, and Orianthi—who all co-wrote their respective tracks with BACH—and two tracks co-written with Myles Kennedy (“What Do I Got to Lose?” and “To Live Again’); Devin Bronson on guitars, Todd Kerns (bass) and Jeremy Coulson (drums) round out the players on the album. It has yielded four singles, all of which have impacted the rock charts: “Freedom,” “What Do I Got To Lose?,” “Everybody Bleeds,” and “(Hold On) To The Dream.”
The artwork for CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN holds special meaning since it was designed by BACH’s father, noted visual artist David Bierk. “This album artwork was started in 1978 and finished in 2024!” SEBASTIAN says.

He has made history as “the first heavy metal singer on Broadway” with a now legendary turn in Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical in addition to leading roles in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Jesus Christ Superstar. He has appeared in dozens of television series and films, ranging from “Trailer Park Boys” and “Robot Chicken” to “Spongebob Squarepants,” “The Masked Singer,” and “Hell’s Kitchen.” Speaking to his versatility, he’s the rare force of nature who can duet with Axl Rose and reprise a seven-season recurring role on “Gilmore Girls.”
