Joel Hoekstra, best known to rock fans as the current guitarist for Whitesnake and Trans-Siberian Orchestra (and also known for his work with Night Ranger and the Broadway show Rock of Ages), returns with his 2nd album, 'Running Games’ from his electrifying solo project, Joel Hoekstra’s 13 on February 12, 2021. Joined by Russell Allen (vocals), Tony Franklin (bass), Vinny Appice (drums), and Derek Sherinian (keyboards), Joel and company pick up where his debut, 'Dying To Live' left off.
Hoekstra once again handles the bulk of the creative process, overseeing production, songwriting and arranging (music and lyrics), and crafting his vision for this powerful hard rock gem. Add Chris Collier’s masterful mixing and the result is ‘70s/’80s classic hard rock with 2020’s muscle. As with the debut, 'Running Games' features an all-star cast of musicians including none other than Russell Allen (vocals), Tony Franklin (bass), Vinny Appice (drums), and Derek Sherinian (keyboards). The amazing Jeff Scott Soto also lends a helping hand with background vocals.
Says Joel, “Years ago, I released three solo albums that were mainly instrumental guitar music. With Joel Hoekstra's 13, I have started to work on something that showcases my production, writing, and playing in the genre that I'm known for, which is melodic hard rock.” Like 'Dying to Live', 'Running Games' can be described as Dio’ish at it’s heaviest, but also is influenced by the blues- based sound of Whitesnake as well as melodic bands like Foreigner, Journey. Hoekstra says "‘Hard to Say Goodbye’ definitely represents the more melodic sound of the album, but rock fans can also look forward to some aggressive tracks."
On ‘Running Games’, lyrically Joel focuses on escaping problems both past and present by providing playful, imaginary, and serious takes on the situations.
Long hailed for his fiery, tasteful guitar playing, Hoekstra’s playing here raises the bar to a new level.
Look out for 'Running Games' on February 12, 2021!

great song...greetings from bavaria...rock on ...
Joel Hoekstra is one of the most underrated guitar slingers in the game today. 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
Maybe, but the most underrated guitar slinger is probably Michael Sweet or Oz Fox
ill have to agree.
Yes, Joel and Kellindo Parker. It would be seriously cool if the two of them made a few tunes together.
Refreshing good music and playing. Russell Allen is the best singer who ever walked on the earth imo!
Absolutely!!!!!!!!
👏🏻💖
You spelled ronnie james dio wrong
💥
I'm sad that technology didn't progress fast enough to allow Dio and Russell Allen to have a baby. It's 2am, whatever, I can say it.
It’s good!! Joel baby !!!
I have met the heartless and I have held the pain
I have known the darkness the evil thoughts inside my brain
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
What does it mean if I run away
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Feeling the burn of the acid rain
coming down on me
coming down on me
Drowning in this broken heart of mine
I can feel it slipping through the broken hands of time
I know it’s real but
I can’t ever get away from what it is I know
I’m still running running for the finish line that I can never find
I believe in Heaven cause I have been through Hell
I will show you wonders of a soul that lived to tell
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
God give me wings let me fly away
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
plotting the dreams of another day that will
open up for me
open up for me
Sounding in this aching heart and mind
I can feel it cutting through my will to live at times
I know the fear but
I can’t ever get away from what it is I know
I’m still running running for the finish line that I can never find
Oh there’s something on my mind
you know it’s true yeah
It’s all the time and heartbreak cause of you
and through the years that heartbreak took its toll
Lord take pity on this soul
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
What does it mean if I run away
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Scene after scene everlasting pain
coming down on me
coming down on me
Drowning in this broken heart of mine
I can feel it slipping through the broken hands of time
I know it’s real but
I can’t ever get away from what it is I know
I’m still running running for the finish line that I can never find
I can never find
Oh, I can never find
Never ever never ever find
Never ever oh never ever find
Vandenberg, Aldrich, Beach and now Hoekstra... Past and present Whitesnake guitarists have been releasing great stuff, which is a blessing for us. Lots of good music to enjoy :)
Heck yes Joel, awesome,
Wow man, this is fantastic. Russell is one of the best singers in the hard rock game right now! And the keyboard-guitar solo onslaught is spine-tingling!
the best song of the year thus far!!!! This is DIO 2021!!! Unbelievable!!!!!
Joel's been around a while. Great player, with major hooks in his trick bag. He was amazing with NightRanger... and with Whitesnake. Nice to see him doing his own thing here.
Opening riff = automatic thumbs up!!! My type music & guitar style.
WOW! Joel Hoekstra & Russell Allen & Sherinian! Powerful guitar & powerful vocals...this is a legitimate Super Group!🤘🏻
where have i been this is amazing. instant fan joel should just join symphony x how awesome would that be michael romeo and joel hoekstra
This is great..... hoekstra is a fantastic guitar player. seen him in Night Ranger and Whitesnake.
what a fantastic hook
Damn Joel! This song makes me wanna drive fast and get a ticket!
Russell Allen is one of the best vocalists out there regardless of the genre.
OH HELLLL YEAHHHH!!!! WAY TO GO, JOEL!!!!!!
Dont talk to strangers...
And “We Rock”
It has a stretch that resembles a lot...

Goosebumps from minute 0... what a song, lyrics and video
I can not wait to get my hands on this track, come on Feb 12Th..... Excellent Guys!:)
This is such a late 80's vibe...hooks worthy of a Leppard multiplatinum platter, and the lead playing sounds like the love child of Yngwie and Jake E Lee went drinking with "No Rest For the Wicked" era Zakk Wyle and Adrian Smith paid for the cab ride home. Awesome stuff!!!
This is a great analogy😂
Ok, I am preordering! Russell Allen as usual is on point, and Joel can shred with the best of them! But the key is its a good song!
Well done Joel ORCHESTRA... I like your style.
After this I have a strong belief that 2021 is gonna be a great year.....

Haven't heard guitar playing this good since the hair metal days of the 80's. Acoustic Songs, Dying to Live, and Undefined have been shipped and will be in my mail any day now - a late Christmas gift to myself! Cannot wait for the new album also! Looks like it's gonna be killer!
Great guitar sound.
Great song! Excited to check the rest of the album. :)

Sounds like it could be the best new Whitesnake since Slip of the Tongue. David Coverdale wishes he could still rock like this.
