SABBATH KNIGHTS

SABBATH KNIGHTS featuring VINNY APPICE — A Night of Black Sabbath & Dio

Annie's Music Center is proud to welcome Sabbath Knights, the ultimate Black Sabbath and Dio experience, led by legendary drummer Vinny Appice himself. This is not just a tribute. This is the real deal, with the man who helped shape the sound of heavy metal behind the kit.

Vinny Appice's career reads like a who's who of rock and metal royalty: Black Sabbath, Dio, Heaven & Hell, Last in Line, Rick Derringer, and even John Lennon. He played on classic platinum albums including Mob Rules, Live Evil, Dehumanizer, Holy Diver, Last in Line, Sacred Heart, Dream Evil, and The Devil You Know.

Joining Vinny is a powerhouse lineup of seasoned musicians:
🎤 Jim Crean (Vocals) – Buffalo Music Hall of Famer channeling Ronnie James Dio
🎸 Artie Dillon (Guitar) – Capturing the iconic Iommi tone and feel
🎸 Jimmy Caputo (Bass) – Thundering Geezer Butler-style finger work

Expect a setlist packed with the biggest hits from Black Sabbath and Dio, plus rare fan favorites you won't hear from any other tribute act. From "Heaven and Hell" and "Mob Rules" to "Holy Diver" and "Rainbow in the Dark," every song is performed by the musician who helped make them legendary.

In Vinny's own words: "I call this show a Tribute Plus. The Plus being me."
