Rock With Dokken, MSG, L.A. Guns& More This Friday!

Sanderson Music Series welcomes the Rock Til We Drop Tour featuring DOKKEN and MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP (MSG) with special guests L.A. GUNS and BANG TANGO at 8 p.m. on Friday, July 17^th at Celebrity Theatre.

The 80s saw the rise of one of the most respected vocalists of the decade, Don Dokken. With his unique voice and passionate style, he helped make the band DOKKEN one of the most dominant and creative forces in hard rock. Lightning Strikes Again 2008, Dokkens debut album for Rhino Records, marks a return to form that rivals the groups past platinum successes, such as the bands 1985 certified platinum album Under Lock And Key. Our goal, says Dokken, was to create an album that was our best since our heyday.  Fueled, as ever, by Dokkens formidable lead vocals, standout tracks include Standing On The Outside, Oasis and Heart To Stone, all of which capture the potent crush of barbed-wire riffs and razor-sharp melodies. 

MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP (MSG) co-headline the tour with their “In The Midst of Beauty – World Tour. German guitar great Michael Schenker debuted with the Scorpions on their debut album Lonesome Crow at age 15 and was lauded at the time for his mature technique. After Scorpions, Schenker joined UFO. He wrote the music for most of UFO’s major label debut album Phenomenon. In 1979, he founded the MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP. In 1990 Schenker briefly played guitar for the band RATT appearing on their MTV Unplugged performance. Schenker is famous for his half-black, half-white Gibson Flying V and his unorthodox approach to lead guitar.
