Richie Kotzen has released a video for his new track End Of Earth.
It’ll feature on his upcoming album Salting Earth, which will launch on April 21 via Kotzen’s own Headroon-Inc label.
The album will feature the track Grammy which Kotzen premiered in 2016 – and he describes the album as “one-man production” with added background vocals on the song Make It Easy provided by Julia Lage.
Kotzen said: “It’s really not deliberate when the record is finished and suddenly I’m the only performer on it. It actually comes out of my process of writing and documenting my ideas.
“It started back in the late 80s when I had a makeshift studio in my parents’ barn. I grew up fairly isolated, and I soon realised in order to get this music out of my head and on to a format where I could listen to it, I’d have to figure out how to do it alone.”
Kotzen will head out on tour from April in support of Salting Earth and will play shows in the US, South America and Europe.
