Richie Kotzen has shared a video for his new track titled The Damned.
Guitar Player report it’s the first in a series of solo singles The Winery Dogs vocalist and guitarist will release throughout the course of 2018.
Kotzen is joined on the song by bassist Dylan Wilson and drummer Mike Bennett and he says: “Now that I’m off the road, I’ve been writing and recording quite a bit.
“This time around, the main difference is that I’m using my live band in the studio. We have been a live band for about seven years now, but we really have not done much studio recording together.
“Rather than wait until all the music is recorded and release an album, I decided to release a series of singles. Maybe it will lead to a full album, maybe not.”
As for the Vicente Cordero-directed video, Kotzen says: “We had the privilege of shooting at Paramount Ranch in Agoura, California, which tied in perfectly with the vibe of the song.
“I found out that day that it would be the last day for any kind of permitted shooting, due to some kind of change in local government. Thankfully, we got all our shots in one long day of filming.”
Kotzen and his band have lined up a North American tour which will take place throughout April. Find a full list of dates below.
