The partnership with Rhino has continued with the recent release of “Unzipped,” a collection of rare and unreleased acoustic performances from the last 20 years, a truly extraordinary opportunity to hear some of the Whitesnake classics as you have never heard them before.

Bombast, bravado, talent and passion have helped establish Whitesnake as the perennial platinum favorite they have become and they’re back with a vengeance in 2019. The world-renowned group featuring David Coverdale (vocals), Reb Beach (guitar), Joel Hoekstra (guitar), Michael Devin (bass), Tommy Aldrige (drums) and Michele Luppi (Keys) have just finished recording their 13th Studio record.
