JOEL HOEKSTRA'S 13 / VHF

VHF (Vinciguerra / Hoekstra / Franklin) – Very High Frequency [remastered reissue] (2021) *EXCLUSIVE*

Golden Robot Records will properly reissue next Friday “Very High Frequency“, the album recorded by Vinciguerra / Hoekstra / Franklin, also known as VHF, consisting of guitar virtuoso Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake, Night Ranger, Cher) playing with 8 fingers on guitar, Fretless Monster Tony Franklin (The Firm, Blue Murder, Kenny Wayne Shepherd) on bass, and published author, master of the groove, Todd “Vinny” Vinciguerra on drums (the brain child behind the project).
Produced by Joe Floyd, Vinciguerra and Tommy Kessler (Blondie) and mastered by David Donnelly, VHF captures the wood & steel electric vibe of classic, groove oriented trippy hard rock with driving rhythms.
The cool thing about their music is that they build the songs from the drums up, which is a pretty backwards songwriting concept, then Hoekstra & Franklin do their magic with a complete artistic freedom. The results that came from it are really unique.

JOEL HOEKSTRA’s 13 – Running Games (2021)

JOEL HOEKSTRA, best known to legions of rock fans as the current guitarist for Whitesnake and Trans-Siberian Orchestra (and also known for his work with Night Ranger and the Broadway show Rock of Ages), returns with his sophomore album, “Running Games” from his electrifying solo project, JOEL HOEKSTRA’s 13.
The record finds Hoekstra cranking out the kind of epic, melodic hard rock he does so well with a supporting cast powerful enough to launch these tracks into orbit, helped by heavy hitters Russell Allen (Symphony X, Adrenaline Mob) on lead and backing vocals, Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, DIO) on drums, Tony Franklin (The Firm, Blue Murder) on bass, Derek Sherinian (Sons Of Apollo, Dream Theater, Black Country Communion) on keyboards, Jeff Scott Soto, and more…
