Since leaving Skid Row, the New Jersey metal band he played with in the late ’80s and early ’90s, singer Sebastian Bach has had no trouble finding work. He successfully transitioned from grungy rock clubs to Broadway, starring in musicals such as Jeckyll and Hyde and Jesus Christ Superstar. Now, in the wake of last year’s Kicking & Screaming, he’s back on the road, playing clubs like Peabody’s, where he performs at 7 p.m. Tuesday. He recently phoned in from India, where he was vacationing with his fiancée, actress Minnie Gupta, to talk about his tour. Tickets to Tuesday’s show are $15 in advance, $18 day of show.
What are you doing in India?
I toured all over Europe and my last show was in Amsterdam. My fiancée and I spent a few days there and we met this king from India who is this huge rock ’n’ roll fan and he just flew us over here and is showing us the country. Rock ’n’ roll is universal and international and that never ceases to amaze me. Walking around, I see Iron Maiden shirts and Mr. Big shirts. Slash shirts. Metal rules.

Last February, Bach and his mates turned Peabody’s into a sweaty mess.
Can’t wait to get Bach there next week!
