The Aftershow — Brian’s take on Orianthi, Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper tour stories
On "The Aftershow", producer Mandi Wimmer, dives deeper into Brian Ray’s interview with Orianthi to get his take on Orianthi’s experiences with Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper and being bullied for her dream to be a musician. Brian shares how the Miami Dolphins are responsible for how he and Orianthi first met and how this podcast, "On Tour with Brian Ray", came to be.
Check out Orianthi’s music at: https://iamorianthi.com (https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fiamorianthi.com%2F&data=04%7C01%7CNoelBrown%40iheartmedia.com%7Ca34ab264f98345404dfc08d8e5ba461a%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C637511935488132669%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=wuzZ%2Fkny7wAH90LwSKdDcpKI4f%2F4oJuR3UApOPDRnKQ%3D&reserved=0)

Orianthi on tour with Michael Jackson and Alice Cooper
Brian Ray sits down with Orianthi Panagaris as they go deep into her final days rehearsing with Michael Jackson just before he passed, her time backstage and on stage at the Grammys with Carrie Underwood, her crazy encounters with possessed elevators, swords, and boa constrictors while touring with Alice Cooper and that time a rabbit almost stood in the way of her record deal with Jimmy Iovine at Interscope Records.
Though Orianthi has a booming solo career and has played on stage with the greatest musicians of all time, her story wasn't always so glamorous, we learn how she grew up being bullied in Australia for her dream to be a musician, but her perseverance paid off when she found herself spontaneously on stage with Carlos Santana as a teenager.
