Derek Sherinian (ex-Dream Theater): Oceana (LP)

The US Keyboarder and Member of Black Country Communion Derek Sherinian with his 7th Soloalbum!!!! Derek Sherinian is one of the most sought after keyboard players in rock and hard rock. Before his meteoric Rising with Black Country Communion, Sherinian made a name for himself with Dream Theater, Alice Cooper and Billy Idol. For his most recent solo work he was able to perform Joe Bonamassa, Tony MacAlpine, Simon Phillips, Steve Lukather, Steve Stevens, Doug Aldrich, Jimmy Johnson and Tony Franklin. Recognized by many as the premiere rock keyboardist of his generation, Sherinian has performed for millions via the vehicles of Black Country Communion (of which he is a current member alongside Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham, Joe Bonamassa), Dream Theater, Alice Cooper, Buddy Miles, and as an off-stage performer accompanying KISS. He also enjoyed tenures with Billy Idol, Yngwie Malmsteen and many others. Favoring a guitar heavy rock based approach to fusion ala one of his musical heroes Jeff Beck, Oceana once again displays the power and energy Sherinian creates in the studio, setting him apart from most jazz fusion ensembles in the process. He displays the rare combination of being a musical chameleon, while maintaining his signature style in no matter what genre he is playing in. With Oceana, the stage is set for Sherinian's inspiration to be propelled in to the mainstream
