Ronnie Montrose Band
5-20-2012
The man who taught you to "Rock the Nation" and then burned down the house with "I Got The Fire," and "Bad Motor Scooter," the sonic adventurer who shot "Rock Candy" into orbit on "Space Station #5," the guitar guru whose eponymous band practically invented American heavy metal, Ronnie Montrose, is coming to Bull Run to rock your world. He's played with Herbie Hancock, Van Morrison, The Beau Brummels, Boz Skaggs, Gary Wright, Dan Hartman, The Neville Brothers - his musical history reads like the who's who of rock. Before forming Montrose in 1973, he was with the Edgar Winter Group, featuring Sammy Hagar on vocals. Now Ronnie - with lead vocalist Keith St. John, bass guitarist Dan McNay and drummer Steve Brown - is back with a vengeance, ripping through his catalog of tunes from "Montrose" and "Gamma". And showing us why he earned the title of "Rock and Roll Guitar Legend" and influenced a generation of rockers - and rock guitarists.
