Alternative Rockers Fuel Coming in August

Alternative Rockers Fuel Coming to Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady in August 

Schenectady, NY (June 20, 2023) – Alternative rockers, Fuel, will be bringing their unique brand of melodic hard rock to the Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady Event Center on Friday, August 18, 2023. Fuel will entertain fans with an evening of enduring rock anthems including "Shimmer," "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)," "Bad Day," and more.

Tickets are on sale now at RiversCasino.com/Schenectady and start at $35, plus taxes and fees. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m.

Formed in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1989, the Grammy-nominated, Fuel, saw their first success in 1998 with their first full-length and platinum-selling album, Sunburn, which contained the Billboard Hot 100 track, “Shimmer,” along with the singles "Jesus or a Gun" and "Bittersweet". They followed-up their debut with the double platinum-selling, Something Like Human, which reached number 17 on the Billboard 200 and featured their first Top 40 hit "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" and fan-favorite “Bad Day”.

In 2003, the band released "Won't Back Down," the lead single for the 2003 film soundtrack Daredevil: The Album, along with their third LP, the Grammy-nominated, Natural Selection, which debuted at number 15 on the Billboard charts and contained the single “Falls on Me”. Their fourth album, Angels & Devils, dropped in 2007 and, after a period of inactivity, Puppet Strings was released in March of 2014.

After longtime drummer, Kevin Miller, made a call to the band’s founding member and guitarist, Carl Bell, in 2018, Fuel was reborn. Joined by lead vocalist and guitarist, John Corsale, guitarist and backup vocalist, Mark Klotz, and bassist and backup vocalist, Tommy Nat, Miller and Bell fully revived the iconic group with their first album together in 18 years – 2021’s Ånomåly.

The Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady Event Center is just steps away from the casino gaming floor and The Landing Hotel. For more details about upcoming entertainment, and to make reservations at The Landing Hotel, please visit RiversCasino.com/Schenectady.
