Whitesnake’s Joel Hoekstra to release new studio album

Joel Hoekstra is to release a new studio album by his side project Joel Hoekstra’s 13.

Dying To Live is due out on the 16th of October via Frontiers Music SRL and features an all-star cast of rock musicians, including Jeff Scott Soto (vocals), Russell Allen (vocals), Tony Franklin (bass), Vinny Appice (drums) and Derek Sherinian (keyboards).

I wanted to put something out that showcased my production, writing and playing in the genre that I’m known for, which is melodic, hard rock. That’s when I decided to start what I consider to be my rock side project, Joel Hoekstra’s 13”.
