Career

Reb Beach has played in the bands Winger, Dokken and Whitesnake. He has also played in Fiona and Alice Cooper's backing bands as well as having done numerous sessions as a studio musician. Beach is best known for his work in the melodic rock band Winger in the late 80's to mid 90's. Winger recorded and toured in support of three albums, "Winger" (1988), "In the Heart of the Young" (1990) and "Pull" (1993). The band also released a number of hit singles, including "Seventeen", "Headed for a Heartbreak" and "Miles Away".

After Winger disbanded in the mid 90's, Beach first joined Alice Cooper's band and later replaced George Lynch in heavy metal band Dokken. With Dokken he recorded one studio album titled "Erase The Slate" and a live DVD titled "Live From The Sun".

After leaving Dokken, Beach has been a part of several different recording and touring projects. In addition to sporadic touring with Winger, he released a solo effort entitled "Masquerade" in 2002. Since 2003 has been a member David Coverdale's current incarnation of Whitesnake; A "supergroup" project called The Mob with King's X frontman Doug Pinnick and Night Ranger drummer Kelly Keagy, resulted in a single self-titled album, released in 2005.

A reformed Winger released their first studio recording in over a decade, "IV" in 2006. In 2007 Beach has toured with both Winger and Whitesnake. Most recently, he replaced Jeff Watson in Night Ranger for a series of dates in Japan and the US, but announced his departure in January 2008.

He is currently touring with Whitesnake on their Good to Be Bad tour, co headlining with Def Leppard.
