Black Label Society are the ongoing musical creation of infamous guitarist Zakk Wylde, who was plucked from obscurity by Ozzy Osbourne in 1987 and soon became a household name among heavy metal enthusiasts. Black Label Society were formed in 1998 after Wylde split from Ozzy and company. They recently released Unblackened, a live CD/DVD featuring a batch of stripped-down versions of their songs. The CD contains six bonus tracks, including covers of "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers and "A Song For You" by Leon Russell. Concerts give ticket holders plenty of bang for their buck. The band is a world-class live act, dishing out powerful sets of blues-based rock and metal songs fueled by Wylde's unmistakable guitar work and vocals. The band's recent unplugged-style concert performances may hint to a mellower approach in the future.

Music

Black Label Society is a heavy metal band formed in 1998 by former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde. Known for their powerful, blues-infused rock and Wylde's signature guitar solos, the band delivers a high-energy live performance that spans their decades-long discography. If you plan to attend, keep in mind that The Ritz is a standing-room-only venue, which can be tiring for younger kids. Tickets start at $68, and parking in the on-site lot fills up quickly, so arriving early is essential. Because of the high volume levels, high-quality ear protection is a must for both you and your teens. This concert makes a great outing for parents looking to introduce their older kids to classic metal showmanship. It is a straightforward, high-energy musical event that offers a fun break from the usual school-week routine.
