SUMMARY:VANDENBERG\, MARCO MENDOZA\, VINNIE MOORE
DESCRIPTION:\nVANDENBERG: “MY WHITESNAKE YEARS” WITH CO-HEADLINERS MARC
 O MENDOZA AND VINNIE MOORE – An Evening of Whitesnake\, Thin Lizzy\, UFO
 \, Ted Nugent and More!\n\n\nAugust 14 @ 8:00 pm\n\n\nVANDENBERG: One of 
 the finest six-stringers on the planet\, Adrian Vandenberg is arguably als
 o one of the most underrated. By the mid-’70s\, Adrian Vandenberg was a
 lready forging his own path. In 1976\, at just 22 years old and while stil
 l an art student at the Academy of Arts\, he formed his first rock band\, 
 Teaser\, releasing a self-titled debut the following year. Relentless tour
 ing across the Benelux and Germany helped shape the foundation of a career
  that was quickly gathering momentum. That momentum became unmistakable i
 n 1981 with the formation of Vandenberg. Signed to Atlantic Records\, the 
 band achieved international recognition with their self-titled debut\, dri
 ven 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 (19
 83) 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\, Ad
 rian painted the band’s album artwork himself\, leaving a distinctive vi
 sual signature on the era.\nMARCO MENDOZA: In the world of bass guitar th
 ere is not much Marco can’t do or hasn’t done. He has recorded and tou
 red with some of the biggest names in the rock and music such as Blue Murd
 er\, 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. H
 e can cover just about any musical style from jazz\, fusion\, world music\
 , Latin groove to all out hard rock. \nVINNIE MOORE: Once Vinnie Moore pi
 cked up his first guitar (a Kay) at the age of 12\, he became\, as he des
 cribes it\, a “guitar freak.” His earliest influences included – amo
 ng 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 R
 oll The Bones Tour. Vinnie also toured Japan as a member of the T.M. Ste
 vens’ band\, which included Bernie Worrell (Parliament Funkadelic) on 
 keyboards\, Wil Calhoun (Living Color) on drums\, and Al Pitrelli (Meg
 adeth) on guitar. In 2003\, Vinnie joined the legendary group UFO (Phil 
 Mogg\, vocals\; Pete Way\, bass\; Jason Bonham\, drums\; Paul Raymond\, ke
 yboards).\n \n
