Rock/Disco/county ( mostly rock)
I had the pleasure of hearing these guys in Evansville at the Pub. I
was attending a great Christmas party given by Working Distributors. It
was interesting because I met George just about 4 days earlier for the
first time. Any why George and the band took a lot of fun kidding from
Georges brother in law about the band being bad. However After hearing
these guys perform, I was amazed. These guys can rock, they cover
songs from the 60's to the 2008. They have songs they put some of their
own twist to and others that sound like the original band was playing.
They get the crowd involved by letting some of them come on stage to
assist with playing a song selection. I did embarrass myself by
asking if they have been playing together long. I found out by their
website they have 25 years of rock'n. I recommend seeing these on one of
there shows if you get a chance. |

reminds me a lot of Jerry Lee Lewis. I See Terry Lee has put
together a new band, called the Terry Lee and the rockaboogie band. Do
check out his website for his schedule, and a little information about
him. |

Smoke Rings |
http://www.myspace.com/thesmokerings |
The Smoke Rings are an
energetic rock band from the Southern Illinois/Indiana Area, that fuses
the sounds of modern alternative and classic rock. The five piece band
consists of Stephanie Smith on lead vocals, the brothers Jake & Chris
Martin on guitar and drums, Shawn Storckman on bass and Darren Phillips
on keyboards and guitar.
The band has a long history of
performing in the Midwest as well as three years playing the most famous
underground clubs in New York City. The Smoke Rings pride themselves in
their ability to perform challenging material and have a huge catalog of
both covers and original music.
I had the pleasure of
seeing this band at Old Town Tavern. There description says it all. I
couldn't believe this band . They were so professional and there sound
is like no other. I enjoyed hearing some of their classic 60's songs,
that no other band would even attempt because of the complicated licks
in the music.

Joined together in July of 2006, founding members Will Peppers
and Mike Murawski came together with an acoustic band in mind, but then
added long time friend Wade Baumert on lead guitar. This addition
changed the whole outlook of things, and soon there after they brought
aboard Brent Allen on drums. After a year of play shows wade was forced
to make a decision stay in the band and follow his dream or take a job
to provide for his family. Wade left the band for a job but still
returns from time to time to jam a few songs with the boys. N.O.U.C.
then pick up long time friend Dustin Tumey, the addition couldn’t have
been better. After only three weeks of practice they played there first
show together the energy was amazing the four of the clicked so well it
seemed as if they had been playing for five plus years. Their passion
for music and performing live is reflected in everything they do. You
just get lost in the music and find yourself singing along to every
song. There stage presents is unbelievable and the songs keep everyone
fired up and having an unforgettable, fun filled time. Contact
