TOOL Brought Their ‘Fear Inoculum’ Tour To Cincinnati

None have matured faster or made greater strides than Wolfe County Kentucky’s Tyler Booth. I met Tyler when he was around 10 years old. I knew his Dad, Jason Booth, as we both worked with bands and venues promoting our friends and in J’s case, family.
