Since 1992, Jason Newsted And The Chophouse Band have performed periodically at select benefit shows and charity gigs, supporting causes like veteran’s relief and animal rehabilitation, as well as youth music and arts education programs. Newsted leads the 2026 TCB lineup; joined by Jesse Farnsworth [guitar, vocals], Jimbo Hart [bass, vocals], Humberto Perez [guitar], and Robert John-Tucker [drums, vocals]. “We’re fired-up to finally take this to the people, and it’s an honor to head out on the road with the Blackberry crew for our first proper run,” said Newsted. “Blackberry Smoke has built a loyal following that knows and enjoys good music. We’ll be performing TCB originals and selections from a few of our heroes. Even at places like the Ryman, we will play some acoustic-based tunes, but throughout the set it is guaranteed to get heavy !”
Jason Newsted And The Chophouse Band play a gritty brand of outsider Americana, with roots outstretched into traditions of bluegrass, folk, soul, rock, and a bit of heavy metal. At the same time, Newsted’s lyrics cut deep as he threads personal stories into the fabric of this music, presenting perhaps the most intimate and uncompromising portrait of who he is thus far.
He states “I’ve realized that this is where I can place my energy effectively now. The Chophouse is the continuation of my ambassadorship of American music. TCB plays everything from bluegrass to fucking slabs of metal. We’re covering a lot of ground; There could be country flavor to a song, but it’ll still have sharp teeth. We are looking forward to an exciting summer! ”
