Rick Ventura was a member of the classic Riot line-up that recorded the legendary albums ‘Narita‘ (1979), ‘Fire Down Under‘ (1981), ‘Restless Breed‘ (1982), and ‘Born In America‘ (1983). He also appeared on the ‘Riot Live‘ (1989) live album. ‘Fire Down Under‘ is considered the ultimate Riot album, having made the Billboard 200 on its original release.
Riot Act released their debut double album ‘Closer to the Flame‘ (Global Rock Records) in 2022 which features both original material and re-recordings of Riot classics. The band then joined Lillian Axe on their U.K Tour in 2022 to promote the album, alongside the English Heavy Metal band Kaine.
This will be a rare opportunity for classic Rock/Metal fans to see Rick perform the ‘Fire Down Under‘ album in full, as well as all the other legendary Riot tunes from the 1980s.
