Smith/Kotzen release “Blindsided” video, unveil tour dates
Smith/Kotzen, the collaborative project featuring guitarists Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen, have released the cinematic lyric video for “Blindsided,” one of the standout tracks from their latest album Black Light / White Noise. The record earned strong reviews upon release and hit No.1 on the UK’s Official Rock & Metal chart earlier this year.
“Blindsided” showcases the duo’s signature blend of guitar-driven rock, with heavy rhythms and melodic interplay that has defined their work since first teaming up.
Smith and Kotzen will hit the road early next year to support Black Light / White Noise, joined by touring bassist Julia Lage and drummer Bruno Valerde. The run includes dates across the UK and Europe throughout February and March 2026.
