Saving Abel is a Southern hard rock act influenced by classic bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and contemporary acts like 3 Doors Down. The lead Singer Jared Weeks and Jason Null formed the band in their small home town of Corinth, Mississippi in 2004. In early 2005, the pair’s songs caught the ear of noted producer Skidd Mills who took the band into his 747 Studios in Memphis. In 2006, Saving Abel released an album under their own label. A copy of “Addicted” found its way to former Virgin A&R Consultant Scott Frazier and manager partner Rick Smith. They were so excited about the new sound of the group that they signed the band the very next day. In 2008, “Addicted” cracked the Top 40 and nearly topped the modern rock charts. Saving Able will return with their sophomore disc, Miss America, on June 8, 2010.

Opening acts for Saving Abel are We Are The Fallen, American Bang and Taddy Porter. All three bands have a different style yet they still portray the sound of Rock. We Are The Fallen is one of Rock’s most buzzed about new groups. The iconic five some is comprised of the original members of multi-platinum band Evanescence, guitarists Ben Moody and John LeCompt, along with drummer Rocky Gray and joined by the charismatic American Idol finalist Carly Smithson on vocals. American Bang’s deep musical roots and Southern accent shoot straight at the heart of great American rock ‘n roll. Taddy Porter is a band that also has southern roots and boast their habit of rocking outright.
