Skillet - The Awake And Alive Tour - 2009

There are still a handful of shows left on the Awake and Alive tour and if you haven't been to one of the shows yet, you owe it to yourself to go. We went to the Atlanta show and were blown away by the whole thing. Amazing music and humble hearts -- a combination that you simply can't go wrong with.

Getting to hang out on the bus with Decyfer Down and then backstage with John Cooper were extra perks to a great night that made the 90-mile drive to Atlanta more than worth it.

In other Skillet news, the band will be back on the road in January/February opening for Shinedown with Puddle of Mudd, sharing their special brand of rock with mainstream!
