Planet Axe Tour to feature Ryan Roxie, Brandon Gibbs, and Joel Kosche
Alice Cooper guitarist Ryan Roxie has just confirmed he will take part in the upcoming Planet Axe tour in support of his new solo album Imagine Your Reality, which was released on May 25th via Cargo Records UK.
Joining Roxie on the Planet Axe tour will be fellow guitarists/vocalists Brandon Gibbs (Devil City Angels) and Joel Kosche (Collective Soul). Roxie's touring band on this run of US dates will include Kosche as well as Robby Miller (bass) and Kenny Bailey (drums).
Roxie will hook up with his boss and the rest of the Alice Cooper Band for US/Canada Cooper tour dates that will continue from August - October.Vocalist/guitarist & songwriter Ryan Roxie is best known as Alice Cooper’s long-time lead guitarist and collaborator. He has also worked with Slash and Gilby Clarke and been a member of Casablanca. Roxie has had an impressive ride so far.Imagine Your Reality is his first official solo release and sees him joined by other noteworthy musicians, including a collaboration with Cheap Trick’s Robin Zander on the track "California Man".Imagine Your Reality continues Roxie’s legacy of creating infectiously melodic songs and straight ahead no nonsense rock riffs, and this time with more guitar than ever before! Ten tracks, all underlined by ten gleaming guitar solos. From the punk rock undertones of "Never Mind Me" to the un-sugarcoated tale of life in La La Land ('To Live And Die In LA') to the superb Beatle-y/Oasis nod, "Look Me In The Eye" - it’s a uplifting big rock sound. Robin Zander transforms "California Man" into the ultimate vintage-vibed, top down, drive in the sunshine, rock n' roll anthem.
