White Witch (band)

White Witch was an American hard rock band[1] from Tampa, Florida, United States, that made two albums for Capricorn Records in the early 1970s.

Though somewhat uneasy about being the only non-southern rock performers signed to the label, the members agreed to the contract without a manager or any legal representation [7] and quickly recorded their self-titled debut album in Capricorn's Macon, Georgia studios.

The band toured extensively to support the record, opening for established acts such as Alice Cooper, Grand Funk Railroad, Billy Preston, and others.[who?]

Some of the original group members began planning a reunion in the late 1990s which became impossible when lead singer Ron Goedert died of cancer on July 16, 2000.

The group toured with major acts Toto, Joe Perry, ZZ Top, and Mountain, before disbanding in late 1980.

Intended to be the third White Witch LP, Polydor execs would not allow the use of the name owned by Capricorn, so the record was released under Goedert's name.

This album included Bill Peterson of Bacchus on drums and Charlie Souza of The Tropics and Cactus on bass guitar.
