Whitesnake guitarist Joel Hoekstra has announced he’ll release his album Dying To Live on October 16 via Frontiers Music
It’ll be launched under the Joel Hoeckstra’s 13 banner and features guest appearances from vocalists Jeff Scott Soto and Russell Allen, bassist Tony Franklin, drummer Vinny Appice and keyboardist Derek Sherinian.
The former Night Ranger man says: “Years ago, I released three solo albums that were mainly instrumental guitar music.
“I wanted to put something out that showcased my production, writing and playing in the genre that I’m known for, which is melodic, hard rock.
“That’s when I decided to start what I consider to be my rock side project, Joel Hoekstra’s 13.”
The guitarist replaced Doug Aldrich in Whitesnake last year, with mainman David Coverdale calling the musician “truly inspiring.”
