After an early gig at the famed Los Angeles’ Troubadour, Great White went on to share arena stages with bands like Judas Priest and Whitesnake. Great White continues to bring its exhilarating live performance to the masses, globe-trotting alongside contemporaries Slaughter, Vixen, Skid Row, Vince Neil and more.
