Cactus – 50th Anniversary Tour with special guest One Of The Boyzz

Coming off a very successful US tour and the release of its first studio album in 10 years, Black Dawn, the time has come for founding member and world renown drummer Carmine Appice to re-energize and rebuild Cactus. The band was once heralded by critics as America’s answer to Led Zeppelin.

“Nearly five decades after I formed this band, the time has come to re-invent Cactus once again,” says Appice, who also still drums for Vanilla Fudge, The Appice Brothers, and The Platinum Rock All Stars. Adds Appice: “The music remains the same and Cactus is still a ‘hot and sweaty’ band. The level, quality and consistence of the band’s musicianship is as strong as ever.”

We will also be celebrating Carmine’s 75th!!

Built on the concept of being a lean, mean, rockin’ machine, One Of The Boyzz pays homage to “Rock Greats” many of whom they’ve shared the stage with from every era – along with some originals too!  Dan Buck is back as “One of the Boyzz” in his tight six-piece “Roadhouse-style” band.  The band features Buddy Wiegelman on guitar, Joe Gagliardo on bass, Jimmi Perrino on keyboards and organ, Scot Kelly on drums, and EZ Dave Haines on Sax and harmonica. They have been ripping up festivals, concerts and clubs throughout the region (in their former name Cool Rockin’ Daddies).
