ALICE COOPER - INTRODUCES NEW GUITARIST - ANNA CARA

Alice Cooper with Anna Cara

(Las Vegas NV, April 2, 2026)  Alice Cooper has introduced British guitarist Anna Cara in place of his longtime guitarist Nita Strauss, who announced earlier this year that she was taking a break to welcome her first child this summer.

22 year old Anna, from Newcastle, England, has previously worked with Marc Storace (from the Swiss band Krokus) and Tommy Henriksen (guitarist with both Alice and the Hollywood Vampires).  She has built an Instagram following with her videos.

Anna will make her debut April 2-4 with Alice at his special "Welcome To Our Nightmare" shows in Las Vegas. These unique shows are a collaboration with illusionist Criss Angel and take place in his theatre at Planet Hollywood.

Alice has his US "Alice's Attic" tour April 14 through May 9, and then returns to Las Vegas May 22-24 for three more "Welcome To Our Nightmare" shows with Criss Angel.

Keeping his usual busy schedule, Alice then has a European "Alice's Attic" tour June 13-July 12, and promises more shows in the fall.

Said Alice, "Nita found a brilliant British female guitarist to fill in for her while she is on maternity leave.  Anna Cara is a beautiful dynamic shredder in the vein of Nita but with a style of her own.  She will fit in with our gang perfectly while Nita is away and we can't wait for the sick things to meet her.  Welcome to the show Anna!"

Anna, for her part said,  "This is like a dream come true, to join Alice and his great band. Back when I started playing guitar at 14, I was watching Alice Cooper live shows on YouTube dreaming of joining one day! Nita Strauss is a tough act to follow, and she's been so encouraging to me this past month, so I am looking forward to showing everyone who I am and what I can do."

Nita said "When I was asked in an interview who I thought was the best up and coming guitarist, I had no hesitation in answering "Anna Cara."  Anna's precision and soulful, emotional playing will make her an amazing asset to the Cooper tour! Working with Alice for 12 years has been the experience of a lifetime and I look forward to seeing you all back on the road (with a +1 along for the ride!) Until that time comes, I know that the show is in good hands and the fans are in for a treat!"
