I think it may be a matter of availability.
When the local agencies offer up the acts available for the dates it comes down to who is not booked more than what type of act it is.
An 80's cover band or classic rock band would have been the more appropriate. The band Matt is getting involved in would have been good too but you want to try not to get an opener TOO close to what the headliner plays. This avoids possible surprises if the opener is TOO GOOD.
This happened (kinda) years ago in Hershey. Bad Company headlined and their opener was Brother Cain. Even though Brother Cain was technically a southern fried band they blew Bad Company out of the water by both technical excellence and audience response. VERY high energy performance. Bad Company seemed like a letdown in comparison.
