Great White The famous Los Angeles Sunset Strip comes to Iowa in summer 2009! Great White will play the inaugural Rock Gone Wild festival in Algona, Iowa August 20-23, 2009.

Fans should act fast if they want to get wild in August 2009 - tickets are going fast for America's preeminent rock n' roll festival.
Los Angeles nightclubs in the 80s are the stuff of legends. Great White cut their teeth in places like the Troubadour and other Sunset Strip haunts. The quintet gained fame with hits like "Rock Me," "Save Your Love" and "Once Bitten.Twice Shy." West coast fans know Jack Russell could hit the high notes in 1981.and he can still hit them today. Don't miss your chance to witness one of the best blues-based rock bands in the business perform live. Great White are Jack Russell (vocals), Mark Kendall (guitar), Michael Lardie (guitar and keyboard), Scott Snyder (bass) and Audie Desbrow (drums).
