Headlining are Rick Derringer and Pat Travers Band.
Rick Derringer's classics "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" and "Jump" are off his platinum album, ALL AMERICAN BOY, and "Real American" is used as a theme song by wrestler Hulk Hogan and the biggest politicians around. Derringer recorded and played with Johnny Winter And... and both Edgar Winter's White Trash and The Edgar Winter Group. Derringer also has a successful solo career; he's recorded on albums with Steely Dan, Cyndi Lauper, KISS, Richie Havens, and as a producer most recently on Jenda Derringer's viral youtube hit "Cigarette."
Pat Travers is known for his own song "Snortin' Whiskey," a dynamic cover of Smiley Lewis' "Boom Boom Out Go The Lights" and Bob Marley's "Could This Be Love." Since first joining Ronnie Hawkins' touring band (before it became the band), Pat went on to release the critically acclaimed 1976 debut album, PAT TRAVERS featuring his own brand of high quality '70s guitar rock and roll. He has gone on to deliver melodic eighties rock, a blues period throughout most of the nineties, noted performances with various power trio’s during the first few years of the new Millennium, and a full blooded return to the trademark Pat Travers Band sound as he enters his fifth performing and recording decade. His latest album, says Pat, "is, quite simply, one of the best Pat Travers releases of any era."
Other International touring acts on the bill include: *George Kilby Jr., who calls his style "rough-cut American music" *Willie McBlind, a trailblazing psychedelic electric Mississippi Delta band *C.C. Coletti, who in addition to singing w/ Meat Loaf, features former Spin Doctors' guitarist Anthony Krizan
Regional artists include the best in the New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York City scene: Slackjaw with Nasty Ned, Citizens Band Radio, 61 North, and the Black River Band.
