Skid Row Names Justin Sargent as New Frontman

Skid Row has picked Broadway star Justin Sargent as its new frontman, and the first release from the partnership is a cover of The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again.

Skid Row has found a new frontman. Justin Sargent is a Broadway star who has starred in productions of Rock of Ages, Bonnie & Clyde and Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. Sargent has worked extensively with Windborne Music, a Virginia-based production company, on shows featuring the music of Led Zeppelin, Def Leppard and the Rolling Stones.

Sargent is Skid Row's fifth lead singer since the departure of Sebastian Bach in 1996. Bassist Rachel Bolan said Sargent felt like he had been there from the beginning when he walked into the room. The first release from the new partnership is a cover of The Who's 1971 classic Won't Get Fooled Again. The Won't Get Fooled Again cover was produced by Nick Raskulinecz and will be released as a limited edition 7" single on October 30.

Sargent's debut show is scheduled at The Show at Agua Caliente in Rancho Mirage, CA, on March 3. Skid Row is on the bill at next year's Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple festivals.
