LIFE IN THE FAST LANE has earned its reputation as “America’s Most Authentic” Eagles tribute band. Performed with enthusiasm, style, and conviction, the band brilliantly recreates the soaring harmonies and timeless sound of one of rock’s most legendary groups.

Garratt Wilkin and the Parrotheads celebrate the laid-back lifestyle and greatest hits of Jimmy Buffett. Kick back and enjoy as this tropical party transports you straight to the Florida Keys, where island vibes, good times, and sing-along favorites come alive.

MANIA! is California’s premier Beatles tribute band, capturing the imagination of audiences of all ages. From the youthful energy of The Ed Sullivan Show to Sgt. Pepper and the iconic Abbey Road rooftop, MANIA! delivers more than a concert—it’s THE LIVE BEATLES EXPERIENCE.

For over twenty-five years, “Creedence Clearwater Revival” has held the title of “America’s Greatest Rock n’ Roll Band.” No other group in pop music history has achieved the crossover success that “CCR” did. Although they have disbanded, it does not change the fact their music is timeless. Fans of all ages sing and dance to their songs just as much as they did a quarter of century ago. “Bad Moon Rising” is without a doubt, one of the most exciting tribute bands around today. Lead vocalist Mark McPhail captivates audiences with show stopping performances, totally capturing the spirit that is “CCR.” Whether you’re a fan of rock, country folk, or rhythm & blues, CCR had it all and “Bad Moon Rising” delivers! Quite simply, they are the only show of its kind!
