2016 has already been a very eventful year for the Danish rock 'n' roll legend Mike Tramp. Following up on the succes with the album "Nomad" and extensive touring in 2015, Tramp won an award for the "Best Classic Rock Album" in his home country.

In August and September, he will once again embark on a massive solo tour throughout USA to mark his forty years. Mike in February 2015 once again squashed any rumors of a WHITE LION reunion, claiming guitarist Vito Bratta had no desire to play music.
