It is now official that rock legend, Jon Lord (Deep Purple, Whitesnake), will be part of this year’s Rhapsody In Rock opening in Falkenberg on 11th of July, 2009.
Rock’n’roll is key for this year’s Rhapsody in Rock, called ”Handful of Keys”. This summer, Wells is offering high-quality world-class rock’n’roll. He brings rock legends Jon Lord (Deep Purple, Whitesnake and others), Glenn Hughes ”The Voice Of Rock” (Deep Purple and others) and Albert Lee (Eric Clapton Band and others), Stephen Brant-Hansen, LaGaylia, Jakob Samuel (Poodles), Mikael Rickfors, Nina Söderqvist and Wells’s own ”sidekick”, Jörgen Mörnbäck. This year, Rhapsody benefits from the addition of The Vocalettes, ”Team Wells” (the choir from TV4) and vocalist and percussionist Pablo Cepeda. Joakim Cans (Hammerfall) appears exclusively on the final concert on the 28th of August in Dalhalla.
Parts of Rhapsody will also continue touring the public arenas this summer. Wells is bringing Rhapsody Lounge Orchestra, The Vocalettes, Albert Lee and Lennie Norman on a traditional tour (tour dates on www.rhapsodyinrock.se).
