AC/DC tribute band Back in Black takes the stage in Roland Nov. 22

AC/DC tribute band, Back in Black, is taking the stage at Lee Creek Tavern located inside Cherokee Casino & Hotel Roland for a free concert on Wednesday, Nov. 22, at 8 p.m.

Hailing from the Dallas- Fort Worth area, Back in Black excels at recreating the iconic experience of AC/DC’s legendary concerts. The musical ensemble stands alone with their notable endorsements from the original AC/DC and their remarkable ability to pay tribute to both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson while closely resembling the original band.

The band, founded in 2000 by Mike Mroz and Darren Caperna, boasts a lineup that includes Paul Brown on drums, Ramiro Noriega on guitar, and Steven Wilson on bass. In a remarkable turn of events, AC/DC even considered lead singer Caperna as a potential replacement for Johnson during their 2017 World Tour. Their extensive accolades include sharing the stage with esteemed acts and collaborating with 20th Century Fox for movie soundtracks.

Cherokee Casino & Hotel Roland and the Cherokee Travel Plaza and Gaming Center are located on Cherokee Blvd., just off the intersection of I-40 and Highway 64. For more information, visit www.cherokeecasino. com and click on the Roland tab, or call 800256-2338.
