JOEL HOEKSTRA'S 13 Set For Crash of Life Album By Larry Petro, News Monkey Friday, April 21, 2023 @ 8:53 AM
Crash Of Life introduces a new talent into the fold as Girish Pradhan (Girish And The Chronicles, The End Machine) takes on lead vocal duties on the album.
The first single from the album, "Far Too Deep", is out today. Watch a music video for the track on KNAC.COM HERE.
As with the previous two albums, the all-star cast of bassist Tony Franklin (Blue Murder, The Firm), drummer Vinny Appice (Last In Line, ex-Dio, Black Sabbath), and keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Sons Of Apollo, Black Country Communion) contribute their immense musical talents. And, as he did on the last record, vocalist Jeff Scott Soto also lends a helping hand with background vocals.
Hoekstra once again handled the bulk of the creative process, overseeing production, songwriting, and arranging (music and lyrics) for this stunning hard rock record. Chris Collier returns and does a masterful job mixing and mastering here as well.
New York City based guitarist Joel Hoekstra currently plays for WHITESNAKE and TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA. He is also a member of REVOLUTION SAINTS with Deen Castronovo (Journey) and Jeff Pilson (Foreigner, The End Machine, ex-Dokken) and ICONIC with Michael Sweet (Stryper), Nathan James (Inglorious), Marco Mendoza (ex-Journey, The Dead Daisies), and Tommy Aldridge (Whitesnake, ex-Ozzy Osbourne).
In recent years, Joel released the critically acclaimed albums Dying to Live and Running Games from his side project JOEL HOEKSTRA'S 13. He has also released three instrumental solo albums.
