Don’t Miss John 5 And Richie Kotzen Live At Flint’s The Machine Shop

Michigan guitar enthusiasts, this upcoming show at The Machine Shop in Flint is for you.

Just announced today, guitarist, singer, and songwriter Richie Kotzen and Motley Crue guitarist John 5 will be at the world-famous Machine Shop in November 2025.

I’ve had the privilege of seeing John 5 perform a few times at The Machine Shop, and he’s nothing short of legendary.

His shows are truly one-of-a-kind, blending metal, industrial, country, bluegrass, rockabilly, and even flamenco. The man can do it all.

Guitar fans will recognize Richie Kotzen from his time with Poison and Mr. Big.

He currently plays with The Winery Dogs, a powerhouse trio featuring Billy Sheehan and Mike Portnoy.

This will be Kotzen's debut performance at The Machine Shop.

Two guitar powerhouses, one night only at The Machine Shop in Flint.

The show is on Thursday, November 20th, 2025.
