Meet Tesla
Tesla is a hard rock blues group from Sacramento, California. Some would describe Tesla as ‘glam rock’ or ‘hair metal’, and they have toured with the likes of Van Halen and Def Leppard, and other bands which may fall under that same classification. The group broke up in the late 1990’s to pursue careers of their own, until getting back together in 2000 to continue touring. The band lineup has remained fairly consistent for the most part over the years, with the exception of guitarist Tommy Skeoch, who left the band because of his struggle with addiction.
