Vinny Appice

Black Sabbath/Dio drummer Vinny Appice is now touring with his ultimate Black Sabbath /Dio show, called Sabbath Knights. They will be performing classic hits From Black Sabbath & Dio, along with some rare fan favorites. Vinny’s super band is: Jim Crean (Appice/Buffalo Music Hall Of Famer) Vocals. Jim Influenced by Ronnie James Dio, has the vocal range and attack of the man himself. Jimmy Caputo (Appice/Cactus) Bass. Jimmy a thunderous bassist, playing Geezer Butler’s finger style tearing up the frets! Artie Dillon (Appice/Slamm) Guitar. Artie an Iommi fan from early on emulates the Iommi feel & sound perfectly with technique beyond! Vinny Appice’s, powerful drumming is marked not by his performances with a single group, but by his musical contributions and drumming career with Black Sabbath, Ronnie James Dio, Heaven & Hell, Last In Line, Rick Derringer, John Lennon, and more! Employing a dazzling mix of glam rock, hard rock, and progressive rock, Angel’s outrageous, white-satin-heavy image and equally over-the-top stage shows, made them one of the more colorful arena rock bands of the mid-’70s and early ’80s. Discovered by Kiss bass player Gene Simmons, the group issued their eponymous debut album in 1975, which hewed closer to prog rock than the glam pop that would inform future endeavors like On Earth as It Is in Heaven (1977) and Sinful (1979). The group went their separate ways in 1981, but re-formed in the late ’90s with a new lineup, and released two studio albums (1999’s In the Beginning and 2019’s Risen) and numerous compilations.
