MY OLD SKOOL REVIVAL BAND


MY 'OLD SKOOL' REVIVAL BAND, comprised of FIVE respected, multi-talented top music industry professionals, present a dynamic exciting show saluting the music of The Eagles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Band and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, 'Supergroups' whose music has proven to have a staying power that few bands can lay claim to.

These classic sounds, which undeniably transcend the boundaries of Rock, R&B, and Country, are delivered via a modern, action packed performance that brings this timeless music into the new millennium.

The legend of hit songs of these supergroups is still appealing to audiences of all ages, bringing back memories and touching the heart of every generation. Finally, audiences can once again experience the energy and magic of this timeless music or enjoy it 'as it was' for the first time.

Band members are Dai Pritchard / Electric Guitars - Slide / Vocals, John Brownrigg / Vocals / Acoustic Guitar, Phil Nunn / Electric Guitars / Vocals, Alex Croke / Bass Guitar / Vocals and Dannie Davidson / Drums / Percussion

My 'Old Skool' Revival Band Is Like 4 BANDS IN ONE:
Creedence Clearwater Revival: Unquestionably one of the greatest rock bands ever, Creedence Clearwater Revival will best be remembered for their unique bayou sound that is often referred to as 'garage band music'. Although their music evoked the raw, gospel-tinged sound of the rural South, CCR actually hailed from California. CCR were undeniably the number one American rock and roll band of their time. John Fogerty sang with a powerful, raw-edged voice that was the Creedence sound. CREEDENCE REVISITED add a new chapter to the legacy of CCR with vibrant and exhilarating energy and pure rockin' spirit. The CCR set has an amazing list of hit after hit that is done serious justice by the players involved. "They just want to hear the music" and CREEDENCE REVISITED delivers just that.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
when including occasional fourth member Neil Young, are a folk rock supergroup. They are commonly referred to by their initials CSNY and are noted for their intricate vocal harmonies, often tumultuous interpersonal relationships, political activism, but mostly for their lasting influence on modern music and culture. Crosby, Stills and Nash always have been about keeping Young. The harmonies of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash still provide a nostalgic if increasingly gravelly and breathless backdrop. But arguably it's Neil Young who gives the four-man combo whatever edge it has. MY OLD SKOOL BAND feature 'Our House' the hippie anthem Nash wrote about his cohabitation with songstress Joni Mitchell and 'Love the One you're with' from the inspiration of Woodstock, amongst other great hits, closing the main set with Young's 'Rockin' In The Free World' and choosing the Mitchell-penned Woodstock for the one-song encore. Given the current state of the world, the re-emergence of the music of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young is a mixed blessing. Whether you welcome their return or just wish they'd shut up, there's no denying CSNY's music is at its most relevant in tumultuous times and My Old Skool Band do it justice.

Desperados was introduced by MY OLD SKOOL BAND with the intent of filling the void left by the demise of The Eagles of the 70'S & 80'S. By blending their extraordinary vocal and musical talents, DESPERADOS faithfully aim to reproduce the essence of the sound that is the Eagles. So join us on a trip down a dark desert highway, feel the cool wind in your hair, and experience the Grammy Award winning sounds that defined a generation. Each concert presents an exciting, showcase of The Eagles mega-hits such as "Take it Easy" "Heartache Tonight" and "Hotel California". The group also performs selected titles from the solo works of Don Henley, Glen Frey, and Joe Walsh.

The Band for about six years, from 1968 through 1975, the Band was one of the most popular and influential rock groups in the world, their music embraced by critics (and, to a somewhat lesser degree, the public) as seriously as the music of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Their albums were analyzed and reviewed as intensely as any records by their one-time employer and sometime mentor Bob Dylan. Music From Big Pink, which featured a painting by Bob Dylan on its cover, began selling -- slowly at first and then better -- and the group played a few select shows. A second album, simply titled The Band, was every bit as good as the first. Dominated by Robertson's writing, it was released in September of 1969, and with it, the group's reputation exploded; moreover, they began their climb out of the shadow of Bob Dylan with songwriting of their own that was every bit a match for anything he was releasing at the time. A pair of songs, "Up on Cripple Creek" and "The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down," captured the public imagination, the former getting them onto The Ed Sullivan Show in an appearance that's fascinating to watch on the official Ed Sullivan video release; the host comes out to embrace and congratulate them, obviously thrilled after the psychedelic and hard rock acts that he usually booked, to see a group whose words and music he understood. Meanwhile, "The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down" became a popular radio track and yielded a hit cover version in the guise of an unaccountably corrupted rendition by Joan Baez (in which, for reasons that only Baez may be able to explain, Robert E. Lee is transformed into a steamboat) that made the Top Five.
