Aaron Lewis [ tickets ], frontman for multi-platinum rockers Staind [ tickets ], will follow his band's handful of December concerts with a headlining run of his own that will visit casinos.

Lewis' plans comprise a five-night stand at the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, CT, which he'll cap with a New Year's Eve performance, as well as five mid-to-late January shows, most of which are set in California.
The solo shows follow a half-dozen early December Staind concerts that are set in the South. Details are included below.

Earlier this month, Lewis told MTV that he's working on a solo album, but no release date for the set has been announced.

On Nov. 14, Staind offers up "The Singles: 1996-2006," a 16-track album that will include previously released hits such as "It's Been Awhile," "For You," "So Far Away" and "Right Here," as well as previously unreleased live acoustic covers of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb," Alice in Chains' "Nutshell" and Tool's "Sober."

Also included will be the version of the Staind cut "Outside" that originally appeared on the "Family Values Tour 1999" album and features vocals from Lewis and Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst.

The same day that "The Singles: 1996-2006" hits stores, Staind will also release "Staind: The Videos," a DVD that will house 14 music videos, as well as live, acoustic versions of "Everything Changes" and "Sober."

Complete tracklistings for the album and DVD are posted at Staind's MySpace page.

Staind's most recent studio set is last year's "Chapter V," which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album chart.
