Joe Lynn Turner: Vocals

In a career that spans over 30 years and over 60 album credits, Turner ("JLT") is best remembered for his collaborative work with

Ritchie Blackmore in both Rainbow and Deep Purple. When Blackmore made the decision to focus on expanding Rainbow's

audience in the USA, he employed JLT. Turner's ability to write radio-friendly rock hits, combined with his MTV-ready good looks

and ability to sing a variety of songs, helped catapult Rainbow to a higher level of commercial success in the United States. In the late

80s, he helped revive the career of guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen. In 1990, he reunited with Blackmore and joined Deep Purple.

Turner has toured, recorded and worked with a diverse array of artists including Billy Joel, Cher, ACDC's Brian Johnson, Mick Jones

(Foreigner), Michael Bolton and many others.

Bobby Rondinelli: Drums

Bobby Rondinelli was a member of Rainbow during their most commercially successful years, 1980-1983. When Ritchie Blackmore

needed to fill the shoes of iconic drummer Cozy Powell, he enlisted Rondinelli. Fans of the band immediately embraced him and

Rainbow never lost a beat as a result. The showmanship of Rondinelli was also unparralled and captured on the band's "Live Between

The Eyes" full length concert video. Rondinelli is a "Drummer's drummer." Aside from his work with Rainbow, his resume includes

BLACK SABBATH, BLUE OYSTER CULT, BONNIE TYLER, DORO, QUIET RIOT, THE SCORPIONS, RONDINELLI ,THE

LIZARDS, RIOT, PYRAMID, ZEBRA and AEROSMITH. In addition to critically acclaimed solo projects, Bobby is also a drum

clinician and teacher when time permits and co-authored "The Encyclopedia of Double Bass Drumming."

Greg Smith: Bass

After Rainbow split up in 1984 it would be ten years before the band released another album. Greg Smith joined Ritchie Blackmore in

1994 and recorded/toured with Rainbow through 1997. Smith has most recently been on the road with Ted Nugent providing the

rock solid bottom and both lead and background vocals. He's also been the bassist and backing vocalist for such artists as Alice

Cooper, The Alan Parsons Project, Blue Oyster Cult, Dokken, Tommy James & the Shondells, Joe Lynn Turner, Vinnie Moore, Van

Helsing's Curse, O2'L and Wendy O. Williams. Greg was also the principal bassist and backing vocalist for the Tony Award winning

Billy Joel and Twyla Tharp musical "Movin Out" during its entire three year run on Broadway and one year on the road.

Jurgen (J.R.) Blackmore: Guitar

Jürgen ("J.R.") Blackmore was born in London in 1964 as the son of Ritchie Blackmore, founder of the legendary Deep Purple and

Rainbow, and his German wife Margit. He started playing guitar at age 10. Blackmore took on an apprenticeship as a guitar maker in

1979. After stints in many rock bands, in 1990, the J.R. Blackmore Group gained a stellar reputation on their European Tour. This

helped launch Blackmore's international career. Various solo projects, such as a cover version of "Smoke OnThe Water" with King

Kurlee (Top 10 in Australia and New Zealand) and studio work broadened his musical spectrum. In 2004, he teamed up with Malte

Rathke for an instrumental project on Musikerei-Records in 2006 and enjoyed worldwide distribution of the critically acclaimed,

"Between Darkness And Light."
