Earlier today, Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park announced that singer-songwriter Rob Thomas will bring his tour in support of his new solo album Chip Tooth Smile to Hard Rock Live on May 31.

Thomas made his solo debut in 2005 with …Something To Be and became the first male artist from a rock or pop group to ever debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. He’s continued to record and tour as a solo artist and with Matchbox Twenty.

Singer-songwriter Abby Anderson will open the show.
