Jack Russell’s Great White announce a string of Spring tour dates for US

Jack Russell’s Great White are to play a series of live shows across the US between March and May.

The band, featuring ex-Great White vocalist Russell as well as other ex-Great White cohorts will be appearing at the following venues:
Mar. 01 – St. Petersburg, FL @ Jannus Landing
Mar. 03 – Sanford, FL @ Route 46
Mar. 09 – Las Vegas, NV @ Vamp’d
Mar. 10 – Ramona, CA @ Ramona Main Stage
Apr. 06 – Orangevale, CA @ The Boardwalk
Apr. 07 – Yucipa, CA @ Angeles Angel’s Roadhouse
Apr. 21 – Bolingbrook, IL @ Tailgaters
Apr. 27 – Denver, CO @ Casselman’s
May 03 – Agoura, Hills, CA @ Canyon Club
May 04 – San Juan Capistrano, CA @ Coach House 

It is said the band will announce even more shows at a later date.

Meanwhile, other Great White members are still touring under the Great White name, something which has been a source of some acrimony since Russell left the band.

REAL GONE says: Great White may not necessary view Jack Russell’s Great White as the definitive article, but to many fans, Russell always was the voice of the band.  His ‘JR’sGW’ also features ex-Great White men Matthew Johnson (guitar) and Derrick Pontier (drums), so that’s possibly about as much Great White as the “other” Great White…
