SUMMARY:TED NUGENT
DESCRIPTION:Ted Nugent started “beating on my first guitar” around the age of five. Strongly influenced by Chuck Berry and Bo Diddly\, he knew he wanted to pursue that type of sound and attitude. Early bands paved the way for the Amboy Dukes\, and it was a feisty cover of the Dukes’ psychedelic Journey to the Center of the Mind that kicked Young Ted’s career into hyper drive. The axe maniac broke out as a solo artist\, signing with the legendary Epic Records\, where the guitarist’s prodigious talent\, earshattering volume and over-the-top stage antics quickly earned him the moniker of Motor City Madman. Cranking out hits like Cat Scratch Fever\, Just What the Doctor Ordered\, Free for All and the iconic Stranglehold\, Nugent garnered international acclaim earned a permanent place in rock & roll history as the ultimate guitar-shredding showman\, selling more than 40 million albums and performing over 6\,900 high-octane live shows. Ted Nugent has been named Detroit’s Greatest Guitar Player of All Time by readers of MLive. \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:LA GUNS with SPECIAL GUEST SAIGON KICK (30th ANNIVERSARY SHOW)
DESCRIPTION:Since their self-titled debut in 1988 to the widely praised comeback albums “The Missing Peace” and “The Devil You Know”\, L.A. GUNS\, led by Tracii Guns and Phil Lewis have always delivered solid rock ‘n roll to their fans. A must hear and listen for all fans of the band\, both new and old. L.A. Guns never looked like the pretty poster boys that so many of their peers did\, but more the band that you would be terrified to bump into in an alley as they would likely be carrying switchblades and ready for a fight. But despite having many songs to back up that image\, the band could also write powerful ballads (see the smash hit\, “The Ballad Of Jayne” for Exhibit A of this argument) that showed there were some serious songwriting chops in the band. Other top hits include “Never Enough\,” “Electric Gypsy\,” “Over The Edge” and more! \n\n\nSaigon Kick featuring Jason Bieler\, Phil Varone\, and Stephen Gibb joins L.A. Guns at the Arcada Theatre for a special night celebrating the band’s eclectic catalog\, from melodic hard rock favorites to deep cuts and fan staples. A rare appearance from one of rock’s most distinctive and unpredictable bands.\n\n\nBuy Now

This supergroup features some of the world’s most talented performers from Broadway and beyond.

The boys of DWP take these contemporary songs and give them a Doo Wop twist\, something they like to call\, “Doo Wopify”. Come see for yourself what the hype is all about!

SUMMARY:VANDENBERG: “MY WHITESNAKE YEARS” WITH CO-HEADLINERS MARCO MENDOZA AND VINNIE MOORE - An Evening of Whitesnake\, Thin Lizzy\, UFO\, Ted Nugent and More!
DESCRIPTION:VANDENBERG: One of the finest six-stringers on the planet\, Adrian Vandenberg is arguably also one of the most underrated. By the mid-’70s\, Adrian Vandenberg was already forging his own path. In 1976\, at just 22 years old and while still an art student at the Academy of Arts\, he formed his first rock band\, Teaser\, releasing a self-titled debut the following year. Relentless touring across the Benelux and Germany helped shape the foundation of a career that was quickly gathering momentum. That momentum became unmistakable in 1981 with the formation of Vandenberg. Signed to Atlantic Records\, the band achieved international recognition with their self-titled debut\, driven by the enduring rock ballad “Burning Heart\,” which reached No. 39 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Follow-up albums Heading for a Storm (1983) and Alibi (1985) further elevated the band’s profile\, while major tours alongside Ozzy Osbourne\, Rush\, and KISS established Vandenberg as a formidable live act. A gifted visual artist as well as a guitarist\, Adrian painted the band’s album artwork himself\, leaving a distinctive visual signature on the era. \nMARCO MENDOZA: In the world of bass guitar there is not much Marco can’t do or hasn’t done. He has recorded and toured with some of the biggest names in the rock and music such as Blue Murder\, John Sykes\, David Coverdale\, Whitesnake\, Thin Lizzy\, Ted Nugent\, Lynch Mob\, Neal Schon\, Dolores O’Riordan of the Cranberries\, and The Dead Daisies. The list literally goes on and on! Marco is a dynamic live performer who is equally at home at a huge stadium as a small jazz club. He can cover just about any musical style from jazz\, fusion\, world music\, Latin groove to all out hard rock.  \nVINNIE MOORE: Once Vinnie Moore picked up his first guitar (a Kay) at the age of 12\, he became\, as he describes it\, a “guitar freak.” His earliest influences included – among others – Jeff Beck\, The Beatles\, Led Zeppelin\, Deep Purple\, and Queen. As a performer\, Vinnie Moore’s resume is impressive. A member of Alice Cooper‘s band\, he toured the U.S. on the Operation Rock’N’Roll tour and also performed on Alice’s album Hey Stoopid. Vinnie’s own band has toured extensively as a headliner and also was chosen as opening act for legendary rockers Rush on the Northeast leg of their Roll The Bones Tour. Vinnie also toured Japan as a member of the T.M. Stevens’ band\, which included Bernie Worrell (Parliament Funkadelic) on keyboards\, Wil Calhoun (Living Color) on drums\, and Al Pitrelli (Megadeth) on guitar. In 2003\, Vinnie joined the legendary group UFO (Phil Mogg\, vocals; Pete Way\, bass; Jason Bonham\, drums; Paul Raymond\, keyboards). \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:QUIET RIOT  //  VIXEN
DESCRIPTION:QUIET RIOT is a rock & roll phenomenon. Famously described as the first heavy metal band to top the pop chart at #1 on Billboard magazine\, the Los Angeles quartet became an overnight sensation thanks to their monster 1983 smash album “Metal Health”. Their hard driving pop metal sound was deemed “out” by record labels so the debut album “Metal Health” was against the grain. Driven by the irresistible double whammy of the rendition of the old Slade chestnut “Cum on Feel the Noize\,” and their original song “Metal Health” (Bang your head) the album stormed up the U.S. charts\, duly reaching the number one spot and going platinum five times over in the process. Quiet Riot went on to have other hits and over a dozen albums and still plays live with a line up consisting of Rudy Sarzo\, Alex Grossi\, Jizzy Pearl and Johnny Kelly. Quiet Riot’s song “Cum On Feel The Noize” was the first heavy metal song to reach Billboard magazine’s top FIVE. Hear all your favorites from Quiet Riot! \nThere’s only one all-female hard rock band from the 80’s who: Sold over 2 million albums worldwide\, Had six #1 videos on MTV\, Had four songs in Billboard’s Top 100! Vixen was founded in St. Paul\, MN by high-schooler guitarist Jan Kuehnemund. The desire to achieve the rock star dreams like so many before her\, Jan took her group to Hollywood but soon retooled the line-up\, which included; vocalist Janet Gardner\, drummer Roxy Petrucci and bassist Share Ross (Pedersen). Jan Kuehnemund\, the founding member and lead guitar player for Vixen passed away October 10th of 2013. Veni\, Vidi\, Vici (I came\, I saw\, I conquered) by Julius Caesar Realizing that a band belongs to its fans\, Gardner\, Petrucci and Ross have carried on the Vixen legacy since 2013. In 2017\, guitarist Britt Lightning (Alejandro Sanz\, Rachel Platten) signed on to round out this extraordinary line up. Vixen consistently delivers high-energy top-notch performances that leave fans breathless and wanting more at every show. 2018 Vixen released “Live Fire”\, recorded at the Arcada Theatre! Alongside the Live CD the band also released a new studio track “You Ought To Know By Now”\, the last recording with original singer Janet Gardner. As the band rolled into 2022\, and after much reflection\, Share Ross decided to take a sabbatical to focus on a prospering real estate career… In steps Brazilian rocker Julia Lage. Julia spent over a decade with Latin Grammy nominated Barra Da Saia\, playing arenas all over South America\, plus performing live with members of The Cars\, Extreme\, and Sugar Ray.
