Offer us a brief history about your band that may not be found in your bio supplied to us via your website.
We started the band 17 years ago and have continued to perform ever since that time. We have the same original members and that is what gives us our intuition on stage. We are a family and love what we do.
What is the most interesting experience or story that you and your band have had over the time of your playing together?
We once performed in England in front of a castle for approximately 10,000 people. We have also performed with a full symphony accompaniment in California multiple times and were fortunate enough to perform our show in Hawaii.
Have you met any of the band members from the original group and if so, how have they reacted to your show?
We have met Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham. Mick was excited about what we did. Lindsey was very busy and we didn’t have time to discuss this with him.
Tribute bands have become tremendously popular throughout the country and there are many covering the same original bands. What about your tribute band makes you stand out from the others that are out there?
We perform as a five piece band with no additional members. We have strived to remain faithful to the classic 70’s line up when they first were together and it was just the five of them. Our show is very high energy with creative elements of ourselves melded into the performance to make it fun and energetic while being respectful to the recreation of the music people know and love.
What is your favorite song from your repertoire and why? Do you play the same set list at each concert?
It is hard to pin down one song that I like the best. The have so many great songs. “The Chain” is always a fun one to play because it encapsulates everything about the band that makes them so unique and talented. While we do play a lot of the hits at every show, we always try to change a few songs in our set, especially if we play at a venue more than one time.
Anything new and exciting on the horizon for your group?
We are expanding our show next year with new stage props and we are always evaluating the songs and looking for new ways to make things even better. We are heading to Canada to perform for the first time in 2025 as well as Barbados.
