Sweden Rock Festival - June 4- headlining Sweden Stage

Tony Carey, the original and permanent keyboardist for the band, is unavailable to perform on this date. After the return from the successful OTR Japan tour, Carey developed a gastrointestinal disorder that requires immediate treatment. His doctors have recommended that he refrain from touring and travelling for a short period of time. Carey and the other members agreed that for the sake of the fans' demand to see Over The Rainbow, that the “show must go on” at Sweden Rock Festival as long as the integrity of the band’s concept remained intact. Like all members of Over The Rainbow (except Jurgen), Paul Morris was also a member of Rainbow. He recorded and toured with them from 1994 through 1997. Morris looks forward to playing the great Rainbow classics from all Rainbow eras just as he did during his tenure with the band. Over The Rainbow is: Vocals: Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow 1980-1984)Drums: Bobby Rondinelli (Rainbow 1980-1983)Bass: Greg Smith (Rainbow 1994-1997)Guitar: Jurgen ("J.R.")
