Members Of Band
We're a six-piece: bass, drums, lead guitar, rhythm guitar/male lead vocal, keyboards, female lead vocal. Band members are 50yrs old +, with careers and family. But we're all kids at heart. Age does not matter as long as you have good skills, genuinely want to play this era/genre of music, are reliable, easy going, and want a FUN band situation. We're not doing this to tour and become rock stars (too old for that), not in this to feed our families or pay the bills (we have careers). Nope. We're doing this for the love of playing, and to have FUN, entertain audiences, and make people smile... within a reasonable rehearsal/gig schedule that fits realistically within our everyday adult lives. But we're serious about being good and tight. And did I say to have FUN? We have a good following and reputation, and gig regularly in the Ventura County area, bars, restaurants, wineries, community events, private parties, corporate events, etc. We were one of the top nominees for Best Cover Band by the Ventura County Music Awards in 2019 and 2021.
