Following the April premiere of Super Duper Alice Cooper at the Tribeca Film Festival, and the subsequent release of the documentary on DVD, Blu-Ray, Deluxe Editions, and digital formats this month via Eagle Rock Entertainment, rock's greatest showman, Alice Cooper, heads out on a lengthy North American tour.
The summer trek starts with three shows in Michigan June 26th to 28th, before Cooper joins Mötley Crüe's final "All Bad Things Must Come To An End" tour as a Very Special Guest on July 2nd, running through late November.
The tour marks the debut of Alice's new guitarist Nita Strauss (pictured below), who was recently ranked #1 on Guitar World's list of "10 Female Guitar Players You Should Know." She takes the place of Orianthi, who has toured with Alice for the past few years. Nita, who has made her name in bands including The Iron Maidens, Femme Fatale, and LA KISS, joins Alice's band's three guitar attack, which also features guitarists Ryan Roxie and Tommy Henriksen, plus longtime bassist Chuck Garric and drummer Glen Sobel.
