SOULFLY guitarist Marc Rizzo will be taking his shredding skills to the West Coast for the first time to let more metalheads thrash to his trademark sound. Newly scheduled Rizzo solo shows are as follows:

Jan. 12 - Boston, MA - TBA
Jan. 13 - Lowell, MA - Rusty G's
Jan. 18 - Anaheim, CA - NAMM
Jan. 19 - Anaheim, CA - NAMM
Jan. 20 - Anaheim, CA - NAMM
Jan. 21 - Anaheim, CA - NAMM
Jan. 27 - Teaneck, NJ - Mexicali Blues
Feb. 03 - Elmwood Park, NJ - The Under Pass
Feb. 17 - Carlstadt, NJ - The Axis Lounge

Rizzo is one of the new breed of young guitarists in contemporary bands and has built a substantial following through his years of touring and recording with ILL NINO and SOULFLY. Recently, Rizzo has stepped out with solo projects that reveal a phenomenal command of the guitar. "Colossal Myopia" unveils Rizzo to be a master musician with deep musical roots in metal, classical and flamenco guitar.

"Colossal Myopia" is a mixture of all the music that Rizzo listens to. It's a combination of "metal nuevo flamenco" and jazz. "I don't really listen to one type of music and I think my record showcases that," explains Rizzo. "It's an all-instrumental CD for music lovers that want to enjoy pure music without all the politics and negative lyrical content."
