Derek Sherinian Points Us To The Vortex

Posted June 2022

dTOzCgZV 400x400The Caligula of Keyboards. That’s what Alice Cooper called Derek Sherinian. If you’ve heard Derek’s work – and there’s a better than even chance that you probably have whether you realize it or not – then you would be inclined to agree with Uncle Alice.

You see, Sherinian has played the keys for a wide range of artists. In addition to Alice Cooper, Derek has played with Kiss, Billy Idol, Black Label Society, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Dream Theater. He also co-founded Planet X and Black Country Communion.

Sherinian has also recorded seven solo albums that included the likes of Steve Lukather, Slash, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Bonamassa, Zakk Wylde, Al Di Meola, Allan Holdsworth, and Billy Sheehan. This is a testament to the level of musicianship as well as the respect that he has from the the world’s best musicians.

Derek has a new album out titled, “Vortex,” and we connected for the first time in years (click here to read that first interview) to talk about the album. You can order it by clicking on the album cover on this page.

You can keep up with Derek Sherinian at his website (here) as well as on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.
