Traveled to Iraq for USO

In November 2008 the band traveled around Iraq in support of the troops and the USO. They stopped at Camp Liberty , Camp Shield and Camp Slayer , FOB Echo and many other FOBs around the country. The sets were primarily done acoustically and consisted of most of the band’s hits. In March 2009, Art Alexakis went on a solo acoustic tour, playing Hard Rock Cafes around the US. The tour was a benefit for the Musicians on Call charity.
