THE WIZARDS OF WINTER have added even more new talent to their ranks this year, including violinist and backup vocalist Kornelia Rad, lead vocalist and auxiliary keyboardist Alexis Smith, and last but not least, lead guitarist Steve Brown.
Aside from being a founding member of hard rock icons TRIXTER, lead guitarist Steve Brown has performed with Dennis DeYoung (formerly of STYX), Joe Lynn Turner (formerly of RAINBOW, DEEP PURPLE, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN), and on Broadway in the hit musical Rock Of Ages. In 2013, and again in 2018, Steve was invited to be the vicarial guitarist for the legendary DEF LEPPARD. Lead vocalist and auxiliary keyboardist Alexis Smith has performed as a lead vocalist on Holland America cruises, in several Off Broadway and additional theatre productions, and performed a one-woman show at the Davenport Theater. Award-winning violinist and backup vocalist Kornelia Rad has toured worldwide with Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra, has worked with many accomplished European composers, and has been performing since childhood.
THE WIZARDS OF WINTER founder and keyboardist Scott Kelly says, "This year's THE WIZARDS OF WINTER tour will mark the band's 10th anniversary and will be our biggest production to date. This fact, coupled with the addition of talented new members, means the show is going to be over the top! We can't wait to bring it to new and old fans alike nationwide."
THE WIZARDS OF WINTER are pleased to be working with new agent Bob Kinkead, CEO of The Kinkead Entertainment Agency. Kinkead says, "Having THE WIZARDS OF WINTER on our roster is very exciting for me and my team. With the show being presented in an intimate theatre setting, I am thrilled for audiences all over the USA to experience a magical holiday rock opera that they will never forget."
