LYNCH MOB – THE FINAL RIDE (2024-2025) TOUR WITH PARALANDRA AND LONE WOLF
JAMES stopped at The Webster in Hartford CT on 2/22/25. Lone Wolf James is a rough around
the edges local band from Boston that recently opened for Ace Frehley. Paralandra is a fresh
breath of female bad-assery from Springfield MO. The band is fronted by singer and guitarist
Casandra Carson. Their sound translates well live and the gig had a very fun vibe. Highly
recommend both their studio stuff & their performances.
Here’s links to two videos I took from the pit:

PARALANDRA – Give Me A Reason
Lynch Mob is iconic guitarist George Lynch’s band. George is best known for being the lead guitarist for the 80’s band Dokken. He did seven albums with Dokken and then formed Lynch Mob and cut eight albums with them. The setlist was half Dokken, half Lynch Mob. George is still a total beast on the axe. The singer, Gabriel Colon, gave me Ray Gillen vibes. Bassist Jaron Gulino was wildin on the bass. Look at my pics, all the ones of him are just, hair. Jaron actually
came and greeted me and my photographer, Holly Roy Photography, Holly Roy Photography He had full access passes waiting for us at will call, welcomed us and thanked us for coming, fed us a dynamic performance and hung out with us after. I have never been treated so courteously by a performer like that. This was Lynch Mob’s legit Final Ride, they are done touring although they are still making music and have a new LP coming out. And the tour is over
so you freaking missed it. George does have a smattering of dates on his website George Lynch but I predict your chances to see him live are dwindling. Read my full review of this stop on the Final Ride for The Sound 228, March 2025 Issue, Page 29 here: Lynch Mob – Paralandra – Lone
