Famed KISS guitarist Ace Frehley to perform new album at 2024 NYS Fair

GEDDES, N.Y. — Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and original lead guitarist of KISS Ace Frehley will electrify the Chevy Court stage on Thursday, August 22 at 6p.m. bringing fans songs from his tenth full-length solo offering, "10,000 Volts."

Rock ‘n’ roll and heavy metal wouldn’t sound, look, or feel the same without him and the only thing more recognizable than Ace Frehley’s signature “Spaceman” makeup is his guitar playing. His thundering riffs and singable solos have enshrined him as one of the most influential, inspiring, and impactful musicians of all-time. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted him in 2014 as a Co-founder and the original lead guitarist of KISS.

Guitar World named the Grammy Award-nominated, Bronx-born Frehley in the Top 15 of its “100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists of All Time” and plugged the lead from “Shock Me” on the “50 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time.”

His "10,000 Volts" record upholds an incredible legacy for Frehley, spanning 50-plus years in the limelight. It features the first single and title track “10,000 Volts” with its fret-burning guitar solo as well as “Walkin’ On The Moon,” “Cherry Medicine,” “Up In The Sky,” and the instrumental finale on the album, “Stratosphere.” Frehley’s evocative playing channels epic emotion with one of his most stunning and lyrical lead lines to date.

The Fair starts Wednesday, August 21, and runs through Labor Day, Monday, September 2. All concerts are included in the price of admission, which will go on sale later this summer.
