Derringer

About Me


Since their original signing, "DERRINGER", has been considered one of the best guitar duos of all time . With the release of their first album, Derringer, the band found themselves the opening act for Aerosmith's "Toys In The Attic", and "Rocks" tours . Derringers' next album release, "Sweet Evil", found them the support act for Boston's "More Than A Feeling Tour". From there they went on to support Led Zeppelin for 2 nights at Bill Graham's "Day On The Green" in Oakland , CA .
After the break up of Derringer, the band members, Rick Derringer, Kenny Aaronson, Vinny Appice, and Danny Johnson, all went on to put their mark on the history of rock and roll by working with some of the most well known icons in the music industry.
Rick Derringer: Alice Cooper, KISS, Cyndi Lauper, Meat Loaf, The McCoys, Todd Rundgrun, Michael Stanley, Steely Dan, Edgar, and Johnny, Winter.
Kenny Aaronson: Bob Dylan, Dave Edmunds, Hall and Oats, Sammy Hagar, Neil Schon, Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Brian Setzer, Mick Taylor, Leslie West.
Vinny Appice: Axis, Black Sabbath, DIO, Heaven and Hell, Hollywood All Stars, George Lynch, WWIII.
Danny Johnson: Alcatrazz, Alice Cooper, Axis, Graham Bonnet, Rod Stewart, and Steppenwolf.
Now Derringer, who influenced so many young guitar players, and musicians in general, has reunited once again.
Do not miss this opportunity to see history in the making.
The Paramour Group along with Derringer is pleased to announce that Derringer has reunited to perform at Sweden Rock 08, and will be doing selective dates for all of 08.
