Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger drummer) was one of many artists to come out to sing their hits each year and eventually that led to my вЂњauditionвЂќ, which was basically a gig on no rehearsal.haha! Rock of AgesВ I got through knowing the music supervisor. I got Night Ranger through playing in the house band for Jim PeterikвЂ™s World Stage shows. How did you get your gigs with so many well know bands? It was really crazy to be playing and look out and see Russell Brand, Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta Jones all watching us. I love that dude! We had a blast on the set.ДЄ cool moment was putting on a concert for the actors in catering on no rehearsal, soundcheck etc. Yeah, Baz (Sebastian Bach) is a madman! In a great way. Basically they took Sebastian Bach, Nuno Bettencourt, Kevin Cronin, Debbie Gibson and me and put us around Russell Brand, singing a song across the street at Catherine Zeta Jones.Дid you learn anything from that experience? What part did you play in the movie, вЂњRock of AgesвЂќ? Recent projects? Did we mention filling in for ForeignerвЂ™s Mick Jones, playing on Jeff Scott SotoвЂ™s and Jack BladesвЂ™ solo albums, appearing in Dee SniderвЂ™s new video or making a cameo in the Warner Bros. When at home, he is in the hit Broadway show Rock of Ages 8 shows a week and as if that isnвЂ™t enough, he has set it all aside (replacing Alex Skolnick) for the arena-filling Trans-Siberian Orchestra winter tour. Joel has been touring the world alongside Brad Gillis, Jack Blades and Kelly Keagy in Night Ranger for the last 4 years. Joel Hoekstra is quite possibly the busiest guitar player youвЂ™ve never heard ofвЂ¦.yet.
