Ryan Roxie Rejoins Alice's Band

The guitarist played with Alice from 1996-2006

Roxie replaces Steve Hunter in Alice's touring band after the guitarist left last month.

"I can't even begin to express how excited I am to have the opportunity to be a part of this year's touring lineup," Ryan said. "To be able to contribute musically with Alice and the band, perform for all you faithful Cooper fans, and have the chance to play guitar on stage next to one of rock music's coolest icons... Well, let's just say I definitely plan to 'enjoy the ride'... and yes, just like all good sports-related interview-ending quotes, I also plan on 'taking it one show at a time' and giving it '110%."

He added, "I might seem calm and low key on the outside, but inside I'm about as excited and honored to do this as I've ever been in my career...

"Let's jump on that tour bus so we can come out and play for you all as soon as possible... Looking forward to seeing all your familiar faces and meeting new ones as well."
