EBC ROXX To Perform At FORMULA 1 Event In Germany

January 20, 2011

EBC ROXX — the "musical racing project" featuring German singer Ela; American rock and blues singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and music producer Tony Carey (RAINBOW, OVER THE RAINBOW); and Jürgen "J.R." Blackmore (guitar),son of former DEEP PURPLE and RAINBOW guitar legend Ritchie Blackmore — will perform at a Formula 1 event in July 2011 at Eifeldorf in Nürburgring, Germany. For this appearance, the band will be joined by special guest Eddie Jordan on drums.

A four-minute trailer for "Winners", the debut album from EBC ROXX, can be viewed below. The CD was released on September 17, 2010.

According to a press release, "the songs [on] 'Winners' not only talk about Formula 1 ('Silver Arrow' and 'Big Livin''),but generally about living in the fast lane on two or four wheels. 'Winners' is about the bright side, [and] 'Your Last Dance' [is about] the dark side of motor racing. The two 'drivin' songs' as well as the opener 'Rolling' depict the intoxication caused by speed. 'Fly' is dedicated to the legendary speed weeks of the Bonneville salt flats (USA). 'Red Dirt Devils' is about the thunderous motocross bikers."

Tony Carey produced a couple of Ela's songs for her latest solo record, "Make My Day", in 2008. He and J.R. Blackmore toured in early 2009 in with OVER THE RAINBOW, also featuring fellow ex-RAINBOW members Joe Lynn Turner on vocals and Bobby Rondinelli on drums.

Carey was RAINBOW's keyboardist from 1975 to 1977.
