Hey Guys, Im a huge fan of your band for many obvious reasons including the the unbelievable, meaningful lyrics right down to the kickass, in your face music style. I have not been to a concert in 12 yrs., and would love to win tickets to go see my favorite band in action. I dont want to sound like a "sap" because I know many are in my situation these days, but I have been out of work and relentlessly looking for a new job with no hope in sight. I really can'not afford to pay for them or I would have already bought them as soon as they we're available. So as a guitar player and a huge fan, I would really appreciate if you would consider me as one of the winners and would very greatful as well. Thank you for your time and keep rockin!!!

I wanted to see you so bad when you were in SC, but I didn't have the money, but if I could get free tickets it would be a dream come true to be able to see you for a fourth time!!!!

When I first heard "Burning Bright", I absolutely had to know who it was that sang that song. I immediately went to get the cd and listened to it over and over, waiting to see when Shinedown was going to come to Spokane. When Rock 94.5 announced they had tickets to one of your meet n greet shows I knew I had to have a pair!! I finally won the tickets and took my then young teenage daughter to the show, had my picture taken with the band-WOW-what an awesome experience!! I still have that picture and several others from during the show. Unfortunately my daughter had school the next day and I didn't get to stay for the entire show. I was beyond bummed! I still see Brent coming from behind the curtain in the vip seating area, smoking his cigarette, watching other groups perform while waiting his turn. When Shinedown took the stage, it was so incredible, I couldn't believe I was at this concert! I ssooo wish I could've stayed for the entire show, I never got to hear "Burning Bright" that night, but I just couldn't stay any longer. Even though I live in Spokane, WA if I got tickets to another concert, I would walk to Auburn or Kennewick be able to see Shinedown again! Words will ever begin to tell how much I can relate to "The Sound of Madness", "Leave a Whisper", or "Us and Them". To say you're awesome, incredible or even amazing doesn't do justice! Thanks for your contribution to the music industry-Doreen

Because we miss you very much! Had a blast @ Kinston Drag Strip and would love to see you again in Charlotte, plus I need new signatures on my jeans if we get lucky enough to meet you all again. Your words and music have touched our lives in ways you could never imagine. Thanks, Star

I would love to see you again in Canandaigua, NY on August 6. My 17 year old grandson turned me on to you guys and we saw you in February in Rochester, NY. I want to take my grandson to the concert to thank him. Oh and by the way, Canandaigua is spelled wrong on your concert page, and we actually refer to the CBMS as CMAC. Just to let you know. Hope to see you. You guys just rock.

When I was 6 months pregnant with my son I promised myself I would sing him "Simple Man" on his 16th birthday. Well..I can't sing and apparently have no balls so he woke up to it jamming through the house. He has always know that was his song from me. I was only 16 when I gave him life and he is my greatest accomplishment. He is now 26 and a deputy in Pinellas County Florida. Several weeks ago we lost 2 brave deputy's at the hand of a dirt bag cop killer. the loss has reminded me what little time here we have with the one's we love so it has renewed my goal to sing him that song. I LOVE your version and have taken it to a voice/guitarist instructor to learn it. I even cut all my nails off!! Well, I know my version is going to suck but if I could bring him to your show in Orlando so he can have an idea how it should sound it might make up for all the wrong cords and dogs howling that I am going to put him through...

Shinedown has been one of my favorite bands since I seen the when they opened for 3 Doors Down in Athen Ga. @ UGA.. Even though Brent writes the songs for different meanings that what I see through the music but I really relate to things that have going on in my life through the good and bad times. Many of the songs on the Leave a Whisper CD was toatlly great the Burning Bright song was the biggest help to me get through some really tough times when my ex tried to kill me after our divorce and was finally convicted.... I moved two states away to get away from him .. from Ga to NC. I had to leave all my family and friends and start over in a place where I knew no one but WELL worth the move for the safety and peace for my daughter and myself.. Even though I still have to deal with the ex in constant court battles for non payment of child support.. the Devour sonds so fits the battle and since he is Bi-polar and Deadbeat dad the Sound of Madness song fits him so well. LMFAO.. If I don't win I undertsand and will always love you guys and the way your music speaks to me. Kelly aka ~FallenAngel~

I would love tickets to the Charlotte show, I have seen you guys 5 times now dating all the way back to Leave a Whisper album and my best friend who is in the Air Force in Charleston,SC is a huge fan as well but his favorite band is Sevendust. So this show is like the ultimate show for us! We are going to do are best to be there but some tickets to the show would seal the deal for us. Thanks and ROCK ON!

I feel the sound of madness coming on. After all that is what Shinedown music is all about. It is the memories we make and put into music along the way that gives us our roots. I would love to see you in Orlando. I went to school where you are playing. Of course it was FTU when I graduated. Hmmm. I love your acoustical stuff. I love all your stuff. Give us your best and we will give you ours. Kat from Jax.

Ah, computer crashed but its worth trying to post this again! I live in a very rural part of Michigan, so have to travel regardless of where your show is. I should win because I am willing to spend money I don't have and go without groceries for a week to get to the show. (I need to lose 5 pounds anyway.) I don't have a spouse for the other ticket but you can't look 3 feet around you and not stumble on someone that thinks Shinedown is the best band going. Oh, by the way, I have a kidney for sale or trade for a tank of gas, if anyone is interested. Did I mention that t-shirts make nice consolation prizes?

I think I should win tickets to the VA Beach show because my 30th bday is really close and my life feels like a carnival of madness with a 9 month old son and a husband in the military, I could really use tickets to an awesome show. I saw you guys in 2008 at the House of Blues in SD for the first time and it was awesome.

Hi I thought I did this but I don't see my post. I am 55 years old and I love you guys, I have been following you from the beginning, you are like a breath of freash air, I've been a rock and roller since I was born, and you guys are my favorite new band. Please let me win tickets anywhere in Florida. I live in Ocala FL. I'm the one who sent the Oil Spill letter. Couldn't see you because truthly I didn't have the money or I would be there. God Bless and have a GREAT AND SAFE TOUR.

I should win the tickets for the Orlando show because my husband is a HUGE Shinedown fan and has turned me in to one as well! We're are expecting our first child in August and instead of playing classical music for her, he's constantly playing Shinedown! What better way to really introduce her than by sending us to the show! :-) Plus tomorrow is my birthday!!!

I live in Daytona Beach, FL and remember when you guys were on the local music scene and was hooked instantly. Now I would like to take my son to his first concert, it's been a rough year. What better way to escape than to good music from Shinedown, Chevelle, Sevendust....Pick me!!!!
