Break out the industrial-strength hairspray and hot-pink, assless leather chaps! Bret Michaels, the man Folio Weekly calls “The Howard Hughes of Hair Metal” (not really), is coming to town.

In recent years, the singer-songwriter has stayed in the limelight as the star of VH-1’s Rock of Love with Bret Michaels, NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice 3 and writer-director-star of A Letter from Death Row.
