Hinder Sidetrack show at the Gaslight Social Concert Review

The Hinder/Sidetrack show at the Gaslight Social Club in Casper, Wyoming was the first to kick
off the 2023 summer concert series for the venue.

It started off wet and rainy with plenty of thunder and lightning to go along. Hinder and opening
act, local cover band Sidetrack, were set to take the stage, but had to start late with all the
action in the skies.

The weather didn’t stop the fans from piling into the venue to socialize with a drink before the
rain finally let up some, and everyone moved outside. Many of the patrons had garbage bags
turned into raincoats to keep the rain off of them.There was no concern of being in style, though,
only plans to celebrate the beginning of a season of concerts, music, friendships, and making
memories.

Sidetrack started their set off with Iron Maiden’s “Ides of March/Wrathchild” followed by
“Blitzkrieg Bop” by the Ramones.
There were many Sidetrack supporters donning T-shirts that read on the back “Don’t Say We
Didn’t Warn You”.

The band consists of John Jennings on lead guitar, Mike Womack on drums, Barry Neilson on
lead vocals and bass guitar, and Dick Meyering on rhythm guitar.

They went on to play covers from Judas Priest, Kiss, ZZ Top, and Alice in Chains.They finished
up their set with “War Pigs”, by Black Sabbath and finally, “Ace of Spades”, by Motorhead.

The crowd was primed and ready for the headliner and the rain had finally let up.

Hinder came out with their first song, “Up All Night” to a welcoming and pumped up audience.

They performed ”How Long”, and one of their new tunes, “Everything is a Cult”.The sun was set
by then, the night sky was still full of clouds, and the crowd was lit up with pinks, greens and
blues that were coming from the stage lights.

Vocalist, Marshal Dutton, spent plenty of time mingling with the crowd, taking selfies with the
front row, and having the fans sing along. The band was very energetic and engaging as they
performed songs such as “Intoxicated”, “Use Me”, and another new single, “Bring Me Back to
Life”. The fans had their cell phone lights on and swayed back and forth to the music. Lead
guitarist, Joe Garvey, Drummer, Cody Hanson, rhythm guitarist Mark King, and bass player,
Mike Rodden brought their A game and it is obvious they have a great camaraderie between
them.
