Platinum artists Great White free with fair admission

Like the fearsome, deadly denizen of the deep that shares its name, Great White knows something about survival of the fittest. The Southern California blues Hard Rock band, Great White, first took a bite out of the rock scene in 1984 and since then has achieved worldwide success, encompassing sales of over six million records. They received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance for the song "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" and earned a double platinum certification for the album “…Twice Shy”.

Since reuniting in January 2007 to perform a benefit concert, Great White has moved forward releasing their first album in 8 years, “Back To The Rhythm” in July 2007, and marking GREAT WHITE’s 25th Anniversary. “It’s just like old times,” stated lead singer, Jack Russell. “There’s a bond that forms between people that is very special. I’ve missed my friends.”






“Back To The Rhythm”, featuring original members Jack Russell (vocals), Mark Kendall (lead Guitar), Audie Desbrow (drums), Michael Lardie (Guitar/keyboards) and Sean McNabb (bass), was mixed, produced, and engineered by band member Michael Lardie. “The new songs sound fresh to me, very Great White, but with an approach of what we sound like in a live performance situation,” explained Michael Lardie. “Kendall and I are having fun channeling our Stones roots and playing off each other in the Richards/Woods tradition.”

Great White has been touring heavily since releasing “Back To The Rhythm,” enjoying huge fan support. And in May 2008, bassist Scott Snyder was welcomed as a new permanent member of Great White. The band is now working on new material and beginning studio work on their next upcoming release.
