Somewhere in California is the tenth studio album by American hard rock band Night Ranger, released on June 21, 2011. It is the first album not to include original guitarist Jeff Watson. The album introduces new guitarist Joel Hoekstra and keyboardist Eric Levy. Although the previous three releases are regarded as different and more experimental for Night Ranger, this album has been noted as somewhat of a return to the signature Night Ranger sound from the successful 1980s releases. The first single and video from the album is "Growin' Up In California".
