I finally took another item off of my bucket list by photographing Alice Cooper and his band on October 1, 2021. They played at the BMO Harris Pavilion on the Summerfest grounds.
I have wanted to photograph the show that I have seen before with my wife. It is a visual treat and his band members are some of the best musicians in the world!
Nita Strauss is rated the #1 female guitar player and I can see why. She is busy with Alice Cooper and also worked as the guitar player with the Arena Football team KISS, owned by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS!
Chuck Garric, Ryan Roxie, Tommy Henricksen are all great (gunslingers) guitar players. They play with Alice Cooper and all have other bands and projects when not working with Alice. The drummer, Glen Sobel, is the same in that he has other projects as well.
The band has always been top notch and a family affair with Alice's wife of many years, Sheryl Goddard Cooper, in the act. She is an accomplished ballerina fits into the stage show very well.
Thank you to the people at Summerfest for letting me photograph Alice Cooper. If you get the chance go see the show, you won't be disappointed!
Enjoy a look at the band having fun.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
