Final Tribute Show of the Full Moon Jam Concert Series Features -The Ultimate Tribute

Slippery When Wet - The Ultimate Bon Jovi Tribute is coming to Bristol’s Downtown Center on Thursday, September 5, 2013. The show will begin at 7:00PM and as always it is free to the public.

Slippery When Wet was formed in 2003 by Jason Morey after answering many inquiries of "Are you ?". Most notably comedian Dave Chappelle invited Jason backstage following one of his comedy shows thinking that he was the icon. It was then that Jason knew he had to take advantage of the resemblance. Slippery When Wet has played to many packed houses throughout the Southeast and has quickly become the top draw at many of their regularly scheduled shows. The band’s shows are the most attended and highest grossing of any Bon Jovi Tribute in the country. In 2007 the band was officially authorized by Bon Jovi to perform their highly entertaining show. “Their drive, musical ability, showmanship and dedication to duplicating the experience simply cannot be outdone,” said Darlene Cole, Venue Manager for the city.

The Downtown Center is located at 810 State Street, in the heart of historic downtown Bristol. “Over 1,000 chairs are available for seating, but if you bring your own chair you can. Just get there early. We are expecting a full house. We had people showing up at the last tribute series at 4:30,” continued Cole. Vendors will be on site along with the usual concessions as well as bathroom accommodations.

The Slippery When Wet show is the last of the Full Moon Jam Tribute Series for the season. The Jam will continue through the end of October. For more information contact Darlene Cole at 423-764-4171 or e-mail [email protected].

The Full Moon Jam Concert series hosts over 40 shows a year at the Downtown Center featuring five tribute bands. The series runs from May through October.
