Kasim Sulton was on the Meat Loaf Summer Tour for the majority of this month but he still managed to find the time (and the energy!) to play a festival in Sheboygan, an open mic night and to do several radio interviews! The tour itself travelled extensively and even played a few concerts in Europe.

	Mandalay Bay Beach Resort and Casino Meat Loaf and Friends Just Havin' Fun In The Summer Tour In Kasim Sulton's twenty five year career in the music business he's rarely performed on Independence Day but this night he did on the Meat Loaf Summer tour. Unfortunately it wasn't an ideal setting as the majority of the audience were well away from the stage and apparently the desert heat affected Meat Loaf's performance. Even worse news was that Kasim did not play an opening set (due to time restraints at the venue). Apparently at this venue you had the choice of listening to the concert either sitting on the sand on the man-made beach or in the water of the lagoon!	More details
