In November, guitarist Chris Caffery will perform his 1,500th show with Trans-Siberian Orchestra, the yuletide rock theater phenomenon that packs US arenas every winter.
Until last year, though, Caffery was more likely to be asked about the shows he wasn’t playing as Savatage. The metal group that birthed TSO in the mid-’90s – and whom Caffery first played with in 1987 – had been in suspended animation since their world tour in support of their 2001 album, Poets and Madmen.
