Candlebox

Saturday, October 29

Renowned grunge rock group Candlebox will bring their top hits and high-energy performance to The Club at Cannery Casino Hotel on Saturday, October 29.

Emerging from Seattle's 1990s grunge scene, Candlebox quickly found mainstream success with their deep, lyrically-driven melodies and big radio hooks. Power anthems like "Far Behind" and "You," from their debut, self-titled album exploded onto the charts propelling the album to reach quadruple-platinum status.

Later albums would showcase their versatility between emotionally charged, brooding ballads like "Cover Me" and groove-infused, rock 'n' roll tunes like "Change" and "Arrow." The 2016 release of "Disappearing In Airports" found Candlebox revealing a modern rock sound with songs like "Vexatious" and "Supernova."

Most recently, the band released their album "Wolves," bringing audiences more versatile, progressive hits like "Lost Angeline," "All Down Hill From Here," "Riptide," "Don't Count Me Out" and more.

Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets start at $29.95 plus tax and fees, and can be purchased by calling Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000; online at www.cannerycasino.com; or in-person at Cannery. Tickets may also be purchased the day of the show (depending upon availability) at the venue box office.
