Seattle nineties grunge and metal scene is not complete without multi-platinum rock power house Candlebox that marks the 30th Anniversary of their self-titled debut album with a release of a new, live, acoustic album, entitled Live at the Neptune on June 23 via Pavement Entertainment, and a “The Long Goodbye Tour 2023”, which kicks off June 10th thru September 23 to celebrate band’s three decade career, eight studio and three live album discography, and extensive live performing and touring. 

Live at the Neptune was recorded at the Neptune Theatre in Seattle, WA on November 5, 2021 featuring all four original members: Kevin Martin, Peter Klett, Bardi Martin, and Scott Mercado.

This work is very unique because the lineup reunited for one night only to celebrate the 26th anniversary of their iconic album Lucy. The setlist includes hit songs not only from the album Lucy but also from the band’s self-titled debut as well.

Guitarist Peter Klett adds, “I love that we were able to capture such a vibe. It feels as though you’re there with the band.”

The album will be available on all streaming platforms, as well as on vinyl and CD on June 23, 2023.
