Our Vision

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

Our vision is to always deliver to you, "our take" on some of the best sounding Classic Rock Radio Hits, and more!

We're are a (non-tribute) cover band, delivering powerful vocals and some really great melodies from the 60's through the 90's and beyond.

What We Do

Delivering "our take" on some great sounding Classic Rock Radio Hits, and more, to our fans with an "all ages friendly" format. 
Nothing  raunchy happening on stage, no wigs or costumes, no annoying bandaroke backing tracks, just some great classic rock and roll music done just right!

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, we probably play it!
