Kicking off the night is Connecticut native Christian “Opus” Lawrence. He has opened for Zak Myers of Shinedown, Sevendust (unplugged), for both Scott Ian’s (Anthrax) and Dave Ellefson’s (Megadeth) spoken word tours. In 1997 he formed Gargantua Soul and spent the next decade creating a cult following as the 7-piece nu-metal/hard rap-rock group. Gargantua Soul was the only unsigned band to play Woodstock ’99, and they appeared on VH1’s Farm Club, Howard Stern Show, and on ESPN to name a few. After the band broke up in 2005, Opus went on to create the heavy metal band Dead by Wednesday.
