Biography

1) Sunstorm is the project group featuring lead vocalist Joe Lynn Turner (formerly of Deep Purple, Rainbow, and Yngwie Malmsteen), bassist/vocalist Dennis Ward and guitarist Uwe Rietenauer (both of Pink Cream 69 fame), drummer Chris Schmidt, and keyboardist Jochen Weyer. The album also features artists like Dann Huff and Jim Peterik as additional songwriters.

Sunstorm released its first studio album Sunstorm in 2006. In 2009 second album, House Of Dreams, was released, and in 2012 their third album, Emotional Fire.

2) Sunstorm (Rough Trade Records, psych rock band) was formed in L.A., in July of 1999. Jerrold Balcom, the group’s leader, the son of a theoretical physicist, had grown up in Torrance, CA. For a time, he lived in Tempe, AZ, before moving back to the West L.A. area, where he met up with bassist Thien Tan Doan and organist Blake Jordan. The trio decided to form a group. Meanwhile, Balcom spent several months trying to talk a drummer, Roger Brogan, into moving from Phoenix to L.A. so they could play shows. Brogan, at the time, was in Alison’s Halo. After that group disbanded, he joined a few other groups, and, in 1999, finally made the move to L.A. to join up with Sunstorm. They began playing shows, expanding to add tambourine player Bowerbird and guitarist Rob Campanella, who had seen Balcom’s ad in a weekly publication and contacted him because some of their musical interests — the Verve, Ride, Spiritualized, the Stone Roses, and early Primal Scream — were so similar.
