ABOUT
Old School Rock-N-Roll was conceived in 2006 by our guitar player Ed Olsen. He came up with the idea of creating a tribute to the greatest hits of the '60's live! He immediately hooked up with Drummer Lee Cressio and Old School Rock-N-Roll was born. They both grew up listening to this classic music, loving the harmonies and timeless melodies.
What makes Old School unique is that unlike many other bands, we not only play the greatest hits of the 1960's live, we live it! Dressed in great 60's retro fashions, and moving to the groove of some of the greatest music ever recorded, we channel the 60's vibe into every show! Oh, there are many tribute bands around that specialize in recreating the songs and sounds of one artist or band, but Old School Rock-N-Roll specializes in recreating the sounds of an entire decade. Our show is truly a six to sixty experience because these songs have never stopped playing on the radio, or being used in films, television shows and have been re-recorded time and time again. Old School Rock-N-Roll performs many songs that you've never heard live before, but you've heard them a thousand times while cruising in your ride to the beach or boardwalk.
Come and experience a show where you'll be dancing song after song, a show that will bring back the "good-old-days" time and time again. We are having a blast playing these songs, as they all have great memories attached to each one. Our show will make you want to sing and tap your foot....
