“We are excited that we have been asked to open the new House of Blues Anaheim,” said lead singer Mike Ness. “We’ve performed at the House of Blues across the country many times over, but this is a special honor because it’s Orange County, our living room.”
The new House of Blues venue will kick off the company’s 25th anniversary. The first House of Blues opened in November 1992 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
