Our Vision

We're a combination of three seasoned veterans and two very talented up-and-coming musicians, each with a passion for making great music. 

Our vision is to always deliver "our take" on some of the best-sounding classic rock radio hits of all time!

We're a non-tribute cover band, delivering powerful vocals and timeless melodies from the 60's through the 90's and beyond, with a few unexpected surprises mixed in to keep it interesting...

What We Do

We are a totally live band, delivering "our take" on great-sounding classic rock radio hits and a few country cross-over favorites in an all-ages, family friendly format. Nothing raunchy happening on stage, no hokey costume changes, no annoying backing tracks—just some great old rock and roll music done Soundcheck style!

Soundcheck is always bringing great tunes everyone knows and loves to sing along with and dance to! If you've heard it on the radio, chances are good we probably play it!
