Lita Ford’s career began in 1975 as a founding member and guitarist of the groundbreaking all- female group the Runaways. The group’s hard rock/punk edge spawned hits “Cherry Bomb” and “Queens of Noise.”In 1983, Ford launched her career as a solo artist with her début album Out For Blood, establishing her as a premier female performer in rock and heavy metal. She followed up in 1984 with the release of Dancin’ on the Edge, which earned her a Grammy nomination in the Best Female Rock Vocal Performance category. The album produced the world-charting single “Fire In My Heart” and the U.S. Billboard top 50 charting hit “Gotta Let Go.” The song, along with the video being in MTV’s top rotation, began to make Ford a household name and face.
2018 Celebrated the 30th anniversary of the 1988 self-titled multi-platinum Lita album, which boasted four charting hit singles, “Back to the Cave”, “Falling In and Out of Love” (co written with Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx) along with the world wide mega hits “Kiss me Deadly”, nominated for the MTV Video Music Awards ‘Best Female Video of The Year’ and the certified Gold ballad single “Close my Eyes Forever” featuring Ozzy Osbourne, which remained in the Billboard Top 10 for 25 weeks. The Lita album solidified Ford as one of the most influential female performers in the music industry and earning her the title “Queen of Metal”. Following Lita, Ford released three more studio albums: Stiletto, Dangerous Curves and Black. These albums produced the radio and video hits “Hungry”,“Playin’ with Fire” and “Shot of Poison”, again nominating her for a Grammy.
Lynch Mob was formed by George Lynch in 1989 after the breakup of Dokken, his long time band of which he was a founding member and main songwriter. The band signed with Elektra Records, and immediately released Wicked Sensation which would go on to achieve Gold status. The album received much critical and fan acclaim, and would pave the way for over a dozen records over the next 30+ years.The band is known for it’s high energy, guitar driven, hard rock vibe, while featuring elements of classic rock, blues, metal, with a propensity for improvisation.
Lynch Mob is currently celebrating the legacy of an incredible history, with shows consisting of classic career-spanning material, as well as a heavy dose of Dokken songs.
