HOEKSTRA/GIBBS & STONEWOOD @ RACEHORSE TAVERN
July 17 @ 8:00 pm - 11:30 pm
HOTT OFF THE PRESS THE Racehorse Tavern is happy to bring you
Joel Hoekstra and Brandon gibbs on Friday July 17th. Opening up for Joel and Brandon is the one and only Stonewood.
The Hoekstra/Gibbs Acoustic Rock Show is a show within a show — a high-energy,
masterfully crafted acoustic experience from two world-class guitarists who have redefined what
an acoustic performance can be. Whether on theater stages, festival lineups, club tours, or across
three international runs, this powerhouse duo consistently delivers a performance so full and
dynamic that audiences often exclaim, “They sound like a full band on stage!”
Their sound is massive, but it’s the chemistry that truly sets them apart: rich vocal harmonies,
jaw-dropping guitar work, quick humor, and magnetic stage presence that leaves crowds
electrified and wanting more. Every show is a reminder of why these two continue to raise the
bar — they bring everything they’ve got, every single night.
Joel Hoekstra
Internationally renowned for his blazing riffs and impeccable solos, Joel Hoekstra is easily
recognized as one of the top guitarists performing today! Best known for his work with
Whitesnake and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Joel’s career also includes collaborations with
Cher, Broadway’s Rock of Ages Band, and Night Ranger. His technical mastery and
unmistakable style make him a standout force on any stage.
Brandon Gibbs
Joining him is singer-songwriter-guitarist Brandon Gibbs, frontman for the supergroup Devil
City Angels and most recently The Rockett Mafia, the newest project led by Rikki Rockett of
Poison. A respected touring musician, Brandon joined Poison in 2022 on the Def
Leppard/Mötley Crüe Stadium Tour, showcasing his powerful voice on backup vocals. Known
for his blues-rock guitar style and emotionally charged songwriting, Brandon brings fire, soul,
and authenticity to every performance.
Celebrating 10 Years — New Show, New Music, New Era
The year 2026 marks a decade of touring together with this phenomenal project — and the
momentum is only growing.
A decade in, and they’re just getting started. The Hoekstra/Gibbs Acoustic Rock Show keeps
getting bigger, bolder, and better.
