Jack Russell’s great White
THU, NOV 1, 2018 @ 8pm
Jack Russell’s Great White represents the next phase of their hard rock legacy. Rather than look backwards and merely attempt to relive
the multi-platinum, hard rock entity’s storied origins; Russell set his sights on the future. In December 2011, Jack Russell’s Great White
first bared its teeth.
Since its inception, the front man welcomed back longtime bassist and friend Tony Montana — this time as a guitar player and keyboardist
— lead guitarist Robby Lochner, and drummer Dicki Fliszar. Now, this group has a sharp, soaring, and slick new album boasting the bluesy
hard rock stomp that made Russell and Montana icons in the first place.

earshot slack-jawed in astonishment.
Traditional, indigenous Hawaiian music has always been at the
core of the Willie K experience and it is important to him to dispel
misguided notions about what exactly Hawaiian music is.
