Michael Sweet, the frontman of Stryper, is currently promoting his band’s new album, “Even The Devil Believes,” During a recent interview with Steve Harrison of ARfm’s The Unchained Rock Show, Sweet confirmed that he will start work on a new recording project at the beginning of 2021 with Whitesnake guitarist Joel Hoekstra and the singer from Inglorious, Nathan James.
During the in-depth interview, which can be heard below, Michael told Steve, “After the first of the New Year, I start a new project with Nathan James and Joel Hoekstra… we are doing like a Whitesnake throwback kind of album and then I’m doing a new Sweet And Lynch album right after that.”
Michael went on further to explain how the idea for the project came about, “Well, I’ve become dear friends with Nathan and I love his voice; and I was asked to work with him by Frontiers and it worked out where we are doing something. I’m going to be playing guitar and singing a few songs, a duet with him and I’m co-producing and co-writing and it’s going to be really cool… he is fantastic, I love him, great guy, great heart, great vocalist, he is one of my favourites, I can’t wait to work with him.”
