A 12-Piece Show Band

American Vinyl Band from Seattle Includes 6 vocalists and a Horn Section!  A true, vocal-rich, professional 70's Tribute Band for those that loved AM Radio tunes. 

Unique 70's AM/FM Favorites

Classic hits between 1968 and 1978 that most tribute/cover bands don't play.  Songs where you say "I remember that one!  I love that song!".
