It was just about a year ago that Alice Cooper and his band rolled into Bangor, and it was at that point that we discovered one of the better guitarists on the planet.

The blonde bundle of energy bounding all over the Cross Insurance Center's stage was Nita Strauss, 29, from Los Angeles, who broke out with the all - female Iron Maiden tribute band, The Iron Maidens.  In June of 2014 she joined Alice's band, replacing Orianthi, another fabulous guitarist that's known for her "shredding" as well.

When we interviewed Alice Cooper before the show he told us that his band "brings it" every night, and following the show,  we thought that Alice's band was the tightest band that we've seen in the past year!

Since the show we've followed Nita and her work on Facebook. She's does a bunch of guitar clinics while she's out there on tour, and it's in those videos that one can really see what a talent she is. Really enjoyed this one as she performed with Chuck Garric, the bass player of the Alice Cooper Band, for a very lucky and small audience!
