I was among one of them wanting to see and hear more so being who I am and what I do, I set out to meet the band. I proceeded to go hang out by the tour busses and see what I could see. I started a conversation up with some fans also waiting, I had only been waiting there, it seemed about 5 minutes until Tyler Connolly came out to meet his fans. What a great down to earth guy he is, never to disappoint he made sure to talk, sign autographs and get selfies with everybody including myself. He didn't make the fans wait that wanted to meet him he came right out after the show, how cool is that? What a great show from a great bunch of guys that make up a Rockin band called Theory of a Deadman.
