KINGS X // VINNIE MOORE

Arcada Theatre 105 E Main St, St. Charles, IL, United States

After a sold-out show in 2023, King’s X is an Arcada Theatre favorite that returns with its powerful progressive metal, funk and soul with vocal arrangements influenced by gospel, blues, and British Invasion rock groups. With a cult-following, deep-meaning lyrics and rockin-loud riffs, King’s X was ranked No. 83 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock! Notable hits include “Out of the Silent Planet”, “Lost In Germany”, “Life Going By”, and so many more!

Once Vinnie Moore picked up his first guitar at the age of 12, he became, as he describes it, a “guitar freak.” His earliest influences included – among others – Jeff Beck, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Queen. As a performer, Vinnie Moore’s resume is impressive! A member of Alice Cooper’s band, he toured the U.S. on the Operation Rock ‘N Roll tour, and also performed on Alice’s album Hey Stoopid. Vinnie’s own band has toured extensively as a headliner and also was chosen as opening act for legendary rockers Rush on the Northeast leg of their Roll The Bones Tour. In 2003, Vinnie joined the legendary group UFO and remains with the group today.

GREAT WHITE // SLAUGHTER

Arcada Theatre 105 E Main St, St. Charles, IL, United States

For Great White to continue to thrive 40 years in the music business, the mantra must be, these songs are bigger than any one member. GRAMMY nominated hard rock legends, Great White, are adding onto that line with the saying: expect the unexpected. It’s rock and roll, baby. The peaks and the valleys haven’t stopped– nor has the music. Great White’s ride runs deep and its passion for the music goes beyond any depth. To experience their hits live in concert – “Rock Me,” “Mista Bone,” “Save Your Love,” “House of Broken Love,” and “Lady Red Light”—is to ride an emotional wave of sultry connections, arousing lyrics, and an all-out marathon of hard-hitting orchestrations. Audiences might also hear tracks like “Stick It”, “The Angel Song”, “Big Time” or one of the many deep cuts from Great White’s 13 studio albums.

1990 SLAUGHTER hit radio, MTV and the U.S. touring circuit like a tornado- coming seemingly out of nowhere to roll through everything in its path and turn it upside down. Touring the world with bands that they loved, Kiss, Ozzy, and others meant the good times were just a song away, and their first hit single, “Up All Night” certainly fit into that mold, their second chart-topper, “Fly To The Angels” was more representative of the spirituality and awareness that goes into most of the band’s music and lyrics. But never were SLAUGHTER more accurately represented that live onstage in front of their legions of devoted fans over the last ten years! SLAUGHTER has shown that with perseverance and sheer talent, a band can survive and win over the support of fans, regardless of what others may say about the quality of their music. What’s most important is that their music is still here and the vast majority of critics who panned them in the past are not, and that’s as good as gold.

FREAKSHOW WITH SPECIAL GUEST FUZZRD AND RED VOODOO

Arcada Theatre 105 E Main St, St. Charles, IL, United States

Freakshow’s debut album was a supergroup featuring Miss Crazy’s Ronnie Borchert, Cinderella’s Jeff Lebar, Quiet Riot’s Frankie Banali, & Tony Franklin (The Firm, Paul Rodgers, and Whitesnake). Freakshow founder Ronnie Borchert stormed the rock scene in 2005 as front man for the San Francisco based “Miss Crazy”. He also fronted the melodic rock/glam bands Amsterdam, and Trixie. Ronnies vocals have been likened to Tom Keifer, Joe Elliot, Steve Whitman, & Brian Johnson. Freakshow recorded multiple records with the original lineup who added Cinderella’s Jeff LeBar to the fold. This lineup would carve a place in rock history touring relentlessly supporting three albums 2005-2008. 

Fast forward to 2023. Different players, yet another amazing lineup who created a hook filled, blazing rock ‘n’ roll album “So Shall It Be”.  With this current album, Ronny Bouchert brings together – Carlos Cavazo (Quiet Riot) on guitar/vox. Carlos is a virtuoso in his field, well respected by fans and peers worldwide. – Greg Chaisson (Badlands, Jake E Lee) on bass/vox. Greg has always been a master of his craft. His playing and grooves bring life to every album he plays on. – Stet Howland (WASP, Metal Church) on drums/vox. Stet has been leaving it all on the stage for decades and is hot off the heels of a top 20 record and sold out tour with Metal Church. The current touring Freakshow lineup adds Mr Steve Unger of Metal Church to the fold on bass and backing vocals. The time has come for Freakshow to play live. These boys are hungry and ready to rock!
