PAUL GILBERT & GREG KOCH
Paul Gilbert-
Former co-founder of Mr. Big, lead in Racer X, and internationally touring artist, brought a full house to The Premier for his 2026 WROC Tour. Gilbert's album, WROC, features a collection of 13 songs that perfectly capture his blues, 2000’s rock/punk, country blend, showcasing his distinctive talent on the guitar. Represented in his pirate-inspired outfit and his eccentric stage presence, Gilbert's music makes you feel like you are on a voyage through the sea with your lads. Gilbert is a genre-blending performance whose unique nature is worth seeing.

Greg Koch-
A Wisconsin-based, highly regarded artist with a jammy, groovy, modern blues sound that is complemented by his very animated, lively band members.
