Vandenberg - My Whitesnake Years
VANDENBERG
"My Whitesnake Years" is an ongoing concert tour fronted by Dutch guitar icon Adrian Vandenberg, dedicated to celebrating the music from his peak multi-platinum era with Whitesnake. The performances are structured into two comprehensive 75-minute sets (or an extended 90-minute show with an intermission). Moore and Mendoza team up to deliver a collaborative set of UFO and Thin Lizzy classics, while Vandenberg handles the monumental Whitesnake anthems alongside powerhouse vocalist Mats Levén.
VINNIE MOORE
Vinnie Moore is an influential American virtuoso guitarist, composer, and songwriter. Widely recognized as one of the premier shredders of the 1980s neoclassical metal craze, he rose to fame following his acclaimed debut album, Mind's Eye (1986). In addition to maintaining a prolific solo career, Moore is highly regarded for his long-standing tenure as the lead guitarist for the legendary British hard rock band UFO from 2003 to 2024.
MARCO MENDOZA
Marco Mendoza is an acclaimed American rock bassist and vocalist renowned for his prolific career anchoring some of hard rock and heavy metal's most iconic acts. Known for his exceptional versatility, he seamlessly bridges the gap between hard rock power, heavy metal weight, jazz fusion intricacy, and Latin funk grooves. Mendoza has served as a foundational member or touring bassist for an extensive list of legendary groups: Thin Lizzy & Black Star Ridres, Whitesnake, The Satch/Vai Band, Ted Nugent, Blue Murder, The Dead Daisies, and Journey.
DERAPS
Deraps is an energetic, late-1970s-style classic rock and hard rock duo heavily influenced by Van Halen, consisting of Canadian guitarist/vocalist Jacob Deraps and Australian drummer/vocalist Josh Gallagher. The pair originally built a massive online following through high-caliber Van Halen cover videos on YouTube, which caught the attention of the Van Halen News Desk and rock photographers like Robert Knight. Signed to Metalville Records, the band's signature sound brings the spirit of California's Sunset Strip into the modern era. Deraps has built a reputation for explosive live shows. While touring, the studio duo expands into a power trio configuration with live bass support. They have opened for major rock legends, including Foreigner, Loverboy, Blue Öyster Cult, and Ann Wilson.
