The Grammy Museum was thrilled to welcome Smith/Kotzen (Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen) to the Museum’s intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater in Los Angeles to celebrate their album release, Black Light / White Noise, their creative process, and a special acoustic performance on March 5, 2025. Interview by Chris Jericho.
Smith/Kotzen released Black Light / White Noise via BMG on April 4. Stream/buy the album here.
Recorded at The House, Los Angeles, California, produced by Richie and Adrian and mixed by Jay Ruston, Black Light / White Noise showcases Adrian and Richie’s prodigious talents as songwriters, musicians and vocalists. The ten-track album is a truly magnificent collection of songs that stands shoulder to shoulder with some of their finest work to date.
Atmospheric, ambitious, diverse and brilliant, it not only features stratospheric guitar solos and phenomenal rock vocals but soulful touches, intricate playing, beautiful songwriting and an assured poise and style that brings to mind a host of legendary bands and musicians (Thin Lizzy, Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Cream, Free, Deep Purple) yet is undeniably the work of Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen in perfect harmony.
Deliciously varied, exquisitely composed and rounded out by a breadth of flavours that can only come with years of experience, Black Light / White Noise is undoubtedly going to be one of the most compelling rock albums of 2025.

“Muddy Water”
