Great White attacks Coco Fest

Grammy nominated Great White has been rocking as hard as any rock outfit over the past 36 years. With longevity comes changes along they way; however, the band continues to forge full steam ahead.

Recently Mitch Malloy was announced as the new singer for the band replacing Terry Ilous. Let me tell you what, this guy’s stage presence was electrifying. He was not still for very long and that voice. Damn that guy can sing. He’s not new to the scene. His first single as a solo artist on RCA records, “Anything At All”, was a top 20 rock charting hit and a pop hit in the US. His third single, “Our Love Will Never Die”, earned him an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. His second album, Ceilings And Walls, featured guest musicians such as Bernie Leadon, Mike Rutherford and Paul Carrack.

Mark Kendall…. WOW…. He’s been there since day one and let me tell you this guy can shred!!! Coming from a musically talented family it’s no wonder. He was very fun to watch and take pictures of!!

Michael Lardie should also be no stranger to Great White fans. He has been with the band for over twenty one years. He was raising the heat with some great guitar and keyboard playing that night!

Audie Desbrow joined Great White in 1986 and remained a member until 2000. He re-joined in 2006 for their reunion tour and still continues to record and tour with the band providing some wicked drum playing.

Scott Snyder joined the band in 2008 and has been constantly providing some sweet bass lines as well and backing vocals.

 

All in all this was quite a show from the start to the very end and we hope we can catch up with Great White in the near future!!! We also can’t wait for the new music to be coming out!!!

We can’t thank the City of Cape Coral Special Events and 96 K-Rock enough for putting together such a great show for Coco Fest!! We truly do appreciate everything they do to keep the entertainment going and we are very happy to support them!!
