Kotzen got his first record deal with Shrapnel Records when only 18 and his debut album came out in 1989.  His career has included stints in Mr. Big and Poison and – most recently – a collaboration with Mike Portnoy and Billy Sheehan in The Winery Dogs.

Richie has curated his latest compilation ‘The Essential Richie Kotzen’ – a double album and DVD spanning the years 1998 to the present including two new songs and unique acoustic renderings of his repertoire.

Richie Kotzen is featured in ‘The Pete Feenstra Feature’ on Get Ready to ROCK! Radio on Sunday 21 September at 19:00.
