Daughtry: 20 Years Unplugged Tour

Formed in 2006, the Grammy Award®-nominated, multi-platinum rock band Daughtry has remained a dominant force for nearly two decades. Fronted by powerhouse vocalist Chris Daughtry, the band has sold more than 11 million records worldwide, earned four Grammy nominations, received American
Music Awards, and achieved multiple Billboard chart-toppers, including three No. 1 rock singles. Entering a bold new chapter with their latest albums, Dearly Beloved and Shock to the System, Daughtry delivers a harder-edged, high-impact statement that reaffirms their evolution and staying power—proving they’re not just part of the rock conversation but are still driving it.

Celebrating 20 years of chart-topping hits, Daughtry is bringing the 20 Years Unplugged Tour to Wheeling this fall. 

WITH SPECIAL GUEST - RYAN PERDZ

Ryan Perdz is a 24-year-old singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Buffalo, NY. Raised on his grandparents’ family farm, he began teaching himself guitar at age ten and expanded into bass, violin, and mandolin, developing a
hands-on approach to songwriting and arrangement.

Influenced by artists such as Nirvana, Chris Cornell, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Led Zeppelin, Perdz channels the emotional weight of 90s rock through a modern lens, balancing grit with melody. His music often explores isolation, self-doubt, and perseverance, delivered with a clarity that feels lived-in rather than ornamental.

After independently releasing multiple singles and his First Sight EP an racking up tens of millions of views across social media, Perdz cultivated a loyal audience through consistent self-directed output. In 2025, he signed with Big Machine Rock and began recording his debut full-length album. His growing catalogue of original music has generated millions of streams, and his audience continues to expand across digital platforms as he releases singles from his forthcoming debut, including “Sour” and “Heavy Eyes.”

As he prepares to unveil his debut album, Ryan Perdz stands positioned at the forefront of a new generation of rock artists shaped by both digital culture and classic influences.
