On February 23, 2013 The Greg Golden Band and friends, Paul Holdgate (Montrose), Bud Gaugh (Sublime) and Brad Lang (Y&T) joined together at The Alley in Sparks to rock the night away. And that's exactly what they did. The show was a release party for Golden and Holdgates new single "Long Way Home".
There were many celebrities in attendance.
Max Volume from 105.7 KOZZ introduced the band to the stage. Also in attendance were Rob Hanna and Aaron Leigh (Frank Hannon Band) just to name a few. The very lovely Bazarre Guitar Girls (Summer Black, Bella Rios and Alexis Jensen) were also there posing with the fans in photos while handing out copies of the single. They also had a raffle to win an Ibanez Guitar along with lots of t-shirts. The lucky winner of the guitar was, Dave Siegel.
