In 2011, Desert Dragon released their debut EP called Desolation, produced by legendary producer Ron Nevison, and had two Billboard charting singles. Their full-length record from 2016 called Before The Storm, which was produced by the great Jimbo Barton (Queensryche, Rush) was also a success, yielding a song called “Save My World,” which won Best Rock Song at the Malibu Music Awards.
Desert Dragon have just released a brand new full-length record called This Side Of Heaven with new singer Keith St. John (Lynch Mob, Burning Rain, Kingdom Come), and guitarist/founding member Greg Patnode and Keith St. John are here on the Dr. Music podcast to discuss it!

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
