John 5 & Richie Kotzen
Guitar legends John 5 & Richie Kotzen join forces on stage for their Bilheimer Capitol Theatre debut! For over 30 years, John 5 has been one of the most in-demand guitar players on the planet. As well as a songwriter/guitarist for hire, 5 has shared the stage as axe-man for Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson and Rob Halford. He has also worked with an impressive array of names, from all walks of music, including KD Lang, Rod Stewart, Dave Lee Roth, Alice Cooper, Tina Guo, Steven Adler, Lynryd Skynrd, Ricky Martin, Rod Stewart, Mötley Crüe and more. To call John 5 a shredder does not do him justice. Award-winning guitarist and songwriter Slash has even been quoted as saying: “John 5 is hands-down one of the most mind-blowing guitarists around.”
Richie Kotzen has always been on a clear, laser-focused mission as an artist. While he is rightfully acknowledged worldwide for being a stellar guitar player, an emotive singer, and, frankly, a balls-out dynamic live performer to boot, Kotzen is quite aware he must maintain an ever-vigilant eye on ensuring one particularly important creative arrow in his artistic quiver continues to be properly nurtured — and that is his songwriting. Throughout his career, Kotzen has released over 20 solo albums, showcasing his versatility across genres. His collaborations with bands like Poison and Mr. Big brought him international recognition. In 2012, he co-founded the supergroup The Winery Dogs, releasing acclaimed albums that blend hard rock with blues influences.
