Leading music technology company VNUE today announced that the company’s livestream platform, StageIt, will be livestreaming an all-start tribute to legendary vocalist Jack Russell, a founding member of the multi-platinum rock band GREAT WHITE, from the world-famous Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood, California, on January 14th, 2025. VNUE‘s own CTO, Tony Cardenas-Montana, and longtime member of GREAT WHITE as well as Jack‘s touring band, played a key role in helping to organize the event.
Jack Russell, a California native, was a multi-platinum recording artist known for his passionate and soulful voice. Jack brought unforgettable performances to chart-topping hits such as “Rock Me”, “Save Your Love”, “Once Bitten, Twice Shy”, “House Of Broken Love”, “Desert Moon”, “Lady Redlight”, “Call It Rock N Roll” and “Angel Song”. These classics resonated on radio and MTV, solidifying Russell‘s place as a prominent figure on the rock scene. The multi-platinum success of “Once Bitten” (1987) and “…Twice Shy” (1989) cemented his status as an icon of 1980s rock.
Multiple well-known artists will be making appearances and performing alongside Jack‘s longtime band JACK RUSSELL’S GREAT WHITE at the tribute, including Don Dokken (DOKKEN),Lita Ford, Joey Allen (WARRANT),Jerry Dixon (WARRANT),Andrew Freeman (LAST IN LINE, GREAT WHITE),Nate Peck (FIREHOUSE),Terry Ilous (XYZ, GREAT WHITE),and many more.
