Great White, an American hard rock band, has been rocking stages since 1977. Hailing from Los Angeles, they've carved their name in music history with their electrifying live performances and catchy anthems.
Their journey began under the moniker "Dante Fox," but they soon transformed into Great White, inspired by both the fearsome ocean predator and guitarist Mark Kendall's former stage name.
Their rise to fame came in the mid-to-late 80s with multi-platinum albums like "Once Bitten" (1987) and "...Twice Shy" (1989). These albums spawned iconic hits like "Rock Me" and the chart-topping "Once Bitten, Twice Shy," solidifying their place in the hair metal scene.
Great White's sound is a potent blend of bluesy hard rock and soaring vocals. Mark Kendall's fiery guitar riffs and Jack Russell's (former frontman) powerful voice were a trademark combination that ignited audiences worldwide.
Their legacy extends beyond chart-topping hits. They're known for their energetic live shows, filled with electrifying guitar solos and passionate vocals. Their music continues to resonate with fans, even after lineup changes and challenges.
Though they faced a tragic fire at a Rhode Island club in 2003, the band persevered, rebuilding their image and continuing to tour and release new music.
Today, Great White, led by vocalist Brett Carlisle, keeps the flame burning bright. They continue to tour and release new music, proving their enduring power and dedication to their craft.
