Great White, best known for their 1989 smash "Once Bitten, Twice Shy," Great White's worldwide sales are approaching 10 million. Their song arsenal also includes, "Rock Me," "Save Your Love," "The Angel Song," "Mistabone" and more! With a line-up like this, it's is surely a performance you will not want to miss!

Great White is an American hard rock band, formed in Los Angeles in 1982. The band gained popularity during the 1980s and early 1990s. The band released several albums in the late 1980s and gained airplay on MTV with music videos for songs like "Once Bitten, Twice Shy". The band reached their peak popularity with the album ...Twice Shy in 1989.

The love and passion for their music has never failed to impress audiences. Revived and focused, Great White channels their raw, sweet and all-at-once dangerous sound into their soon-to-be released collection. Set to come out May 2012 from Frontiers Records, Elation is the band's 12th studio album. Elation thrives on Great White's signature grit and blues-hued sound, only marked with a new synergy. Surely a performance you won't want to miss out on!

Saint Caine's commanding performance will sustain and quench thirsty ears and eyes. Seeing Saint Caine live will captivate and remind any music fan how uninhibited and necessary rock shows really are. John Kosco, John Freeman and Chris Hamilton will give you nothing less than everything they've got.

Saint Caine's Music will show you the difference between "flash in the pan" and longevity, "trend" and trendkill. Saint Caine is here for you to physically hold in your hands and in your beating hearts. "We formally challenge you tell us right now whether or not the music of Saint Caine doesn't evoke all the love you first had for music in the first place." We are nothing more than an extension of true music fans. Give us your hearts and we promise to keep them beating."

Vocals unbound by rules carved in the grain of an unchained rhythm section. Curious enough is the description, satisfying enough is to listen. If you've heard the raw tender of the Poulet Sessions and enjoyed it, we wonder what you'd think of a full length Saint Caine album.

Matt O'Ree has been cranking out the blues-rock since he was an early teen. With all the trappings of a genuine guitar hero, he plays with fire in his fingers and blues in his soul. At age 13, he sunk his roots in the blues - Albert King, Howlin' Wolf, to Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. After establishing a good foundation, at age 15, Matt played in various bands, honing his skills through time and pure dedication.

With the new line up complete, they have been working hard over the last two years on the next studio album with producer Jon Leidersdorff at Lakehouse Music in Asbury Park, NJ. They have been fortunate enough to land many special guest stars to contribute to their new release including Steve Cropper, John Popper, Bernie Worrell, and Hubert Sumlin. A new DVD release is also in the works of a show filmed during the summer of 2012 in Asbury Park and they have just released a new live CD titled "Live in Denver, CO" that was recorded while on tour in during the late spring of 2012 so make sure you pick up a copy today!
