Hard-driving blues-rock outfit Rival Sons will bring its Domestic Bliss Tour to the House of Blues Cleveland on Wednesday, November 18, delivering an evening of gritty guitar riffs, powerful vocals and classic-rock-inspired energy. Led by vocalist Jay Buchanan and guitarist Scott Holiday, the California-based band has earned a devoted following by combining the raw sounds of vintage rock and blues with a modern edge. The group will be joined by Canadian blues-rock duo The Blue Stones, making for an especially strong night of guitar-driven music. The tour marks Rival Sons' first major U.S. run since its 2024 Two-Headed Beast tour and will feature material spanning the band's extensive catalog.

​

Fans can expect an energetic performance featuring some of Rival Sons' best-known songs, potentially including "Pressure and Time," "Keep On Swinging," "Open My Eyes," "Electric Man," "Do Your Worst" and "Too Bad." The band has built its reputation on electrifying live performances, with Buchanan's soulful, commanding vocals complemented by Holiday's muscular guitar work and the rhythm section's powerful foundation. With the group also working on its ninth studio album, the Cleveland appearance offers an opportunity to catch one of modern rock's most compelling live acts while it continues to evolve.
