After having already played in Philadelphia, Toronto and Detroit this month, Buckcherry’s summer tour is making a pit stop in Lansing.

The nationally acclaimed rock band plays at 9 or 10 tonight, depending on opening acts, at Club Hot Shots 2, 3323 N. East St. in Lansing, before moving on to Chicago.

Terry Ranshaw, the club’s owner, said he isn’t surprised Buckcherry chose to play at Club Hot Shots 2.

“We’re pretty much the only rock ’n’ roll club in the area,” Ranshaw said. “We bring in national acts all the time, and we keep abreast of the rock scene.”

Ranshaw said his club has been hosting concerts throughout the summer, and it has been extremely successful.

“We’re looking for the show to sell out,” Ranshaw said. “The club’s capacity is 400, and we’ve been turning away 800 to 1,000 people for each one of the concerts.

“We’re looking for a great show on Monday.”

Buckcherry has been touring steadily since the release of its newest album, “Time Bomb,” in March, but there have been some bumps in the road.

Last week, bassist Jonathan Brightman left the group despite being one of the band’s founding members. But the group is continuing its tour in his absence.

“The show is definitely still happening as originally scheduled,” said Maggie Wang, a publicist for Buckcherry.

“JB has stepped down from the band, but they found a replacement bassist immediately and will perform on Monday.”

Wang would not comment on the circumstances under which Brightman left the band or his replacement.

Despite the setback, area residents, such as criminal justice senior Thomas Emery, are still planning on going to tonight’s concert.

Emery hopes Buckcherry won’t disappoint its fans.

“It’s too bad about the bass player,” Emery said. “But I think they can put on a good show without him.”

Emery also said he’s glad to see larger acts like Buckcherry coming to the area, and hopes more will follow.

“It’s great when a band like that plays smaller venues,” Emery said. “It shows they appreciate their fans.”
