Shane Hawkins, the son of the late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, is stepping into a powerful legacy this summer as he joins his father’s beloved cover band, **Chevy Metal**, for their latest North American tour. At just **18 years old**, Shane is carrying forward the rhythmic fire that made his father one of rock’s most electrifying drummers — and fans are already calling this upcoming run a deeply emotional celebration of Taylor’s life, influence, and unmatched energy.
The tour kicks off with a string of high-profile summer dates, with Shane taking his place behind the kit in cities including **Denver**, **New York**, **Philadelphia**, and **Washington, D.C.**. Each stop promises to be more than just a performance; it’s a living tribute, a chance for longtime fans to hear the pulse of classic rock delivered with the same explosive spirit that defined Taylor Hawkins’ career. The run will wrap up in **Agoura Hills, California**, a location close to the Hawkins family and rich with meaning for the band’s history.
Chevy Metal, long known for their raw, joyful covers of rock’s greatest hits — from Van Halen to Queen to Black Sabbath — has always been a place where Taylor let loose, celebrated music, and connected with fans on a personal level. Now, with Shane stepping in, the shows promise a rare blend of nostalgia and new beginnings. Audience members can expect a mix of high-octane drumming, heartfelt moments, and a community united in honoring one of rock’s most cherished figures.
For Shane, this tour marks both a milestone and a mission: keeping his father’s spirit alive on stage, not through imitation, but through the same passion, intensity, and love for music that Taylor instilled in him from childhood. This summer, Chevy Metal isn’t just going back on the road — they’re carrying forward a legacy.
