The Winery Dogs Supergroup Going On Hiatus For 2017

(Classic Rock) The Winery Dogs are taking all of next year off to focus on their own individual projects, drummer Mike Portnoy confirms. The trio featuring the former Dream Theater drummer, along with Mr. Big men Billy Sheehan and Richie Kotzen, recently wrapped up their tour in support of their second album Hot Streak.

Portnoy tells Sirius XM (via Blabbermouth): "We're basically going to take 2017 off. Richie's going to do his solo band stuff, and I think Billy says he might be doing some Mr Big activity.

"I'm going to spend 2017 with The Neal Morse Band for the first several months, then possibly a new Flying Colors album and a new Metal Allegiance album. Billy, Richie and I have penciled in tentatively reconvening after next year - and hopefully at the start of 2018." Read more here.
