Slash's band for the album and concert film consists of Slash on lead and rhythm guitar, Teddy “ZigZag” Andreadis on keyboards, harmonica, and vocals, Tash Neal on rhythm guitar and vocals, Johnny Griparic on bass and backing vocals, and Michael Jerome on drums.
The album has been mixed in PCM Stereo and DTS 5.1 audio and will be available on 2CD+DVD digipak, 2CD+Blu-ray digipak, and triple LP formats. Pre-orders for Slash: Live at the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival are available now.
In addition to the live performances, the concert film will also feature behind-the-scenes interviews, offering fans a unique insight into the making of the album. The live album is part of Slash's S.E.R.P.E.N.T. (Solidarity, Engagement, Restore, Peace, Equality N' Tolerance) blues tour.
Slash believes that a lot of people are having a hard time these days and hopes that this album will serve as a source of comfort and inspiration. With its powerful performances and deep roots in the blues, Slash: Live at the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival promises to be a must-have for any rock fan's collection.
