Tuff and Stevie Rachelle announce shows from Romania to Rocktember

LOS ANGELES, California — Tuff announce first shows of 2018 and their first performances since late 2016.

After taking all of 2017 off Tuff have dotted the calendar with select shows for the late summer and fall.

The band will appear in predominantly midwest states playing shows in Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and appearing at the annual Rocktember show in Hinckley Minnesota.

Aside from the Tuff shows, Rachelle will do select appearances this summer with bands in Eastern Europe with dates already announced in Romania and Hungary.

Tuff have also been added to the Monsters Of Rock Cruise in February 2019.

Tuff feature 2 classic era members in vocalist Stevie Rachelle (vocals) and the band’s co-founder Todd “Chase” Chaisson (bass).

The Sunset Strip veterans also feature Billy Morris (Warrant, Quiet Riot) on lead guitar and their mid-90’s drummer Jimi “Lord” Winalis.

Rachelle and Chaisson both have other projects that are filling time and space where Tuff is not.

Chaisson is the co-owner of Smokin’ Rock & Roll, a Cleveland based food truck company that speacializes in smoked meats along with catering parties and events. The business is co-owned by the band’s guitarist Morris.

Look for a new solo CD by Morris “Holdin’ All The Aces” on HighVol Music to be released later this summer.

Rachelle as many know runs this beloved website along with fronting the German band Shameless, the Brazilian band Tales From The Porn and every Packer fan’s favorite Cheeseheads With Attitude.

Rachelle who is a native of Wisconsin will be inducted this weekend into the Wisconsin Area Music Industry Hall of Fame.

The annual event in its 38th year will be held at the “Performing Arts Center” in Appleton on Sunday May 20th.

Look for the guys in 2018 and 2019 to add more dates.
