Reignwolf got the party started as the opening performer at the 2024 Industry Night @ SEMA featuring The Goo Goo Dolls.


"This event is a fun and beneficial way to kick off the SEMA Show… With the music and networking, you can't go wrong," said buyer Tim Linzbach of performance specialty retailer Eastside HotRods in Sammamish, Washington.

The lively performances began with Reignwolf, a musician who's traveled the globe to grace stages including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Glastonbury and now, the Industry Night @ SEMA stage.
