For Great White to continue to thrive 40 years in the music business, the mantra must be, these songs are bigger than any one member. GRAMMY nominated hard rock legends, Great White, are adding onto that line with the saying: expect the unexpected. It’s rock and roll, baby. The peaks and the valleys haven’t stopped– nor has the music. Great White’s ride runs deep and its passion for the music goes beyond any depth. To experience their hits live in concert – “Rock Me,” “Mista Bone,” “Save Your Love,” “House of Broken Love,” and “Lady Red Light”—is to ride an emotional wave of sultry connections, arousing lyrics, and an all-out marathon of hard-hitting orchestrations. Audiences might also hear tracks like “Stick It”, “The Angel Song”, “Big Time” or one of the many deep cuts from Great White’s 13 studio albums.
1990 SLAUGHTER hit radio, MTV and the U.S. touring circuit like a tornado- coming seemingly out of nowhere to roll through everything in its path and turn it upside down. Touring the world with bands that they loved, Kiss, Ozzy, and others meant the good times were just a song away, and their first hit single, “Up All Night” certainly fit into that mold, their second chart-topper, “Fly To The Angels” was more representative of the spirituality and awareness that goes into most of the band’s music and lyrics. But never were SLAUGHTER more accurately represented that live onstage in front of their legions of devoted fans over the last ten years! SLAUGHTER has shown that with perseverance and sheer talent, a band can survive and win over the support of fans, regardless of what others may say about the quality of their music. What’s most important is that their music is still here and the vast majority of critics who panned them in the past are not, and that’s as good as gold.

Freakshow's debut album was a supergroup featuring Miss Crazy's Ronnie Borchert, Cinderella’s Jeff Lebar, Quiet Riot’s Frankie Banali, & Tony Franklin (The Firm, Paul Rodgers, and Whitesnake). Freakshow founder Ronnie Borchert stormed the rock scene in 2005 as front man for the San Francisco based "Miss Crazy". He also fronted the melodic rock/glam bands Amsterdam, and Trixie. Ronnies vocals have been likened to Tom Keifer, Joe Elliot, Steve Whitman, & Brian Johnson. Freakshow recorded multiple records with the original lineup who added Cinderella's Jeff LeBar to the fold. This lineup would carve a place in rock history touring relentlessly supporting three albums 2005-2008.
Fast forward to 2023. Different players, yet another amazing lineup who created a hook filled, blazing rock ‘n’ roll album "So Shall It Be". With this current album, Ronny Bouchert brings together - Carlos Cavazo (Quiet Riot) on guitar/vox. Carlos is a virtuoso in his field, well respected by fans and peers worldwide. - Greg Chaisson (Badlands, Jake E Lee) on bass/vox. Greg has always been a master of his craft. His playing and grooves bring life to every album he plays on. - Stet Howland (WASP, Metal Church) on drums/vox. Stet has been leaving it all on the stage for decades and is hot off the heels of a top 20 record and sold out tour with Metal Church. The current touring Freakshow lineup adds Mr Steve Unger of Metal Church to the fold on bass and backing vocals. The time has come for Freakshow to play live. These boys are hungry and ready to rock!

The classic rock bands of the late ’60s and early ’70s enjoy a unique place in popular musical history. The Beatles had gone their separate ways, Britain had already experienced the Blues Boom, and Psychedelia had made its impact. The creative possibilities were infinite. Wishbone Ash embarked on the nascent Progressive Rock scene in 1969, taking full advantage of a fertile musical environment where they produced a distinctive brand of melodic rock. Inspired equally by British folk traditions and American jazz and R&B, the group played to public and critical acclaim. Fifty plus years later, having pioneered the use of twin lead guitars, Wishbone Ash has gained worldwide recognition, based firmly on a regime of relentless touring. The band includes founding member Andy Powell, who handles lead vocals and trades licks with Yorkshire’s Mark Abraha, Bassist Bob Skeat, a 25-year veteran of the band, drives the rhythm section along with Joe Crabtree, one of the best of Britain’s new breed of drummers. Recording highlights are, of course, the multi-million selling 1972 album “Argus,” considered to be one of the all-time classic rock albums, together with “Pilgrimage” (1971) and “New England” (1976). More recently, “The Power of Eternity” (2007), “Elegant Stealth” (2011) and “Blue Horizon” (2014) garnered enthusiastic praise. It was not until 2019 that the album Coat of Arms was to be released and that has proved to be a real career-capper. The band’s biggest seller, the double album “Live Dates” (1973), is one of the most highly rated live albums of the 1970s.
Half a century spent touring while continually releasing live and studio albums, Wishbone Ash is now gearing up for their “Wish List Tour”, an evening of requests gathered from their fans on social media. “I love the interactive element of this,” says Andy Powell, founding guitarist, vocalist and songwriter.” We have so many chapters, lineups and flavours in our music. There’s more than 500 songs, and we continue to write new ones. It is fun to let the fans decide.” Using Set.Fan, and their social media platforms, the band has gathered up the most requested songs which will form the ongoing worldwide tour, beginning in the UK this Fall, and coming to America 07 November thru 07 December.
A special “Wish List Tour” CD will be available at shows, featuring the songs that folks might be treated to from the show. “It’s cool to realize that our concerts have become mini conventions of sorts for fans to interact with each other and the band,” Powell continues. “It’s very much a community, like the jam bands have. This music of ours gets to you! I’ve seen this occur multiple times over the years with different shows where the fan community rallies around a newbie.”
This show is so amazing, we are bringing back BOTH bands back because the crowd left the theatre just shaking their heads! “THUNDERSTRUCK”, returns for another incredible night of all AC/DC hits including “Highway To Hell”, “Hells Bells”, “You Shook Me All Night Long” and “Back In Black”. Joining them will be SABBATH, the premier Black Sabbath tribute group that brings OZZY and the boys to life with hits like "War Pigs", " Paranoid", "Iron man", " Sweat Leaf", and more on The Arcada stage!!
