On Friday January 23rd, 2015 the madness continues with Randy Rhoads Remembered: A Celebration of a Guitar Legend! RRR salutes Rhoads, the brilliant, original Ozzy Osbourne guitarist. Show creator Brian Tichy and partner Joe Sutton conceived this event in 2013 after agreeing years before that Randy Rhoads deserved fresh recognition for his musical impact. They are both huge fans of Rhoads. Tichy himself played with Ozzy Osbourne in 2000. On top of the best guitar players in the world rocking their favorite Rhoads’ songs, Randy’s brother Kelle Rhoads performs and both his sister Kathy and he share their stories making this a very touching and personal experience for all involved!

On top of the already stellar lineup, RRR proudly announces the following newly added artists to the January 23rd show: Dewey Bragg (Kill Devil Hill/ MOTH) Tracii Guns (Devil City Angels) Mitch Perry (MSG / Edgar Winter) Monte Pittman (Madonna) Jeff Watson (Night Ranger) Mark Zavon (Kill Devil Hill) Roy Z (Halford / Bruce Dickinson / Tribe of Gypsies).
RRR will be hosted by Rock n’ Roll Comedian Deal Delray, Bonzo Bash Producer Joe Sutton and show creator Brian Tichy.

Producers Brian Tichy and Joe Sutton have been creating unique celebration concerts since 2010, and have now combined them all. Dubbed “California Music Fest: 3 Days of Music & Madness,” this festival coincides with NAMM January 22, 23 & 24, 2015. In addition to RRR, it also includes Bonzo Bash 2015 NAMM JAMM on Thursday, Jan 22nd, and Entwistle/ Moon: The Ox & The Loon on Saturday, Jan 24th.

Randy Rhoads Remembered was the second celebration event produced by Tichy & Sutton, with the first one selling out and taking place during NAMM weekend 2014. With 11 Bonzo Bashes, 6 RRR’s, and 1 Entwistle/Moon later, they have taken RRR to both coasts receiving nothing but rave reviews. The upcoming RRR during California Music Fest 2015 is sure to be the mightiest one yet! The show highlights the industry’s top guitarists playing every song from the iconic Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman records and then some! TIchy says, “I can’t wait for RRR, Bonzo Bash and Entwistle/Moon to happen! These shows are so unique and high-spirited! I get to play drums all night at RRR with so many amazing players on records I learned from as a kid! To me, there’s no cooler place to be than at these mighty events! I feel like a wildebeest that’s made it across a croc-infested river onto fresh grassland; heartily content!”
