Jack Russell’s Great White rolled into Baltimore but not at the usual M3 Festival it was at FishHead Cantina. The crowd was loving it though, the placed was packed and everybody was anxiously waiting the arrival of the band.

Empire Extreme got to ask Guitarist Robby Lochner which on this day was his birthday as well, a few questions.

Empire: What’s it like playing with Jack Russell?

Robby: Working with Jack has been quite the ride. There’s a magical chemistry between us that has developed over the years in all aspects, performing, writing and just plain hanging out.

Empire: How was it like playing with Rob Halford of Judas Priest?

Robby: Rob was my first national gig so definitely a special thing to me. What can I say he was amazing every gig I did with him. Total professional, pretty much flawless every night!

Empire: What’s your favorite tour moment?

Robby: So many great moments that nothing really jumps out over another. With JRGW playing the “8 Seconds Saloon” in Indianapolis was one of the most fun gigs I’ve done!

Empire: Who is you’re dream musician you want to work with?

Robby: Ozzy ?

Empire: If you could bring back one musician from the dead who would it be?

Robby: Tough call between Jimi Hendrix and Randy Rhoades….Can I have two !

Empire: With so many bands reuniting, what band would you like to reunite?

Robby: Led Zeppelin hands down. Really I can’t think of anyone else I’d want to see united.

The fans got what they wanted this night. Jack Russel’s Great White put on a hell of a show. Jack still sounds amazing and moves around the stage like a rockstar. Robby is like a cat on catnip he’s just all over the stage , twirling and just ripping on the guitar. Was such a great show, I’m glad I got to see them once again and can’t wait till they come back.
