Cliff Evans: “We’ve been lucky enough to have worked with some of the best names in rock. Our last two albums, ‘War Machine’ and
‘War Nation’, featured former Rainbow and current Michael Schenker vocalist Doogie White. They were two of our most successful albums and Doogie will be joining us again later in the summer for some shows in Europe.

“We’re fortunate to be able to draw from this pool of amazing musicians who are more than happy to be a part of the Tank experience. We’re really looking forward to bringing the show to Brazil.”
