Whether playing for a stadium crowd of 100,000 or in a more intimate setting, Mendoza effortlessly combines hard-rock intensity with a distinctive Latin flair.
Completing the supergroup is Soren Andersen, a Danish guitar virtuoso, composer, and co-owner of the renowned Medley Studios in Copenhagen. a passionate admirer of classic rock, Andersen has been performing around the world for more than 30 years, earning a reputation as Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple’s “secret weapon.” Soren is a true purist and multidisciplinary artist, paying attention to every detail of the sound while bringing an unmistakable fire to his playing.
