Friday February 5th, 8:00pm at The BACKSTAGE CAPITOL THEATRE
It's been over 50 years since Rock & Roll first shook the world with it's new sound that kids loved and parents hated. This new music was sexy, fun, and some said, dangerous. The Devil's music. Everyone from Frank Sinatra to any critic at the time said it wouldn't last.
Boy, they couldn't have been more wrong.
Rock & Roll from the 50's lasted well beyond that decade. The recordings of all of the great artists from that time still sell millions a year and sound as good as ever. However, nearly all of the artists who created the music are gone. Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, Ricky Nelson.
Anyone from that era will tell you that Rock & Roll was at its best and most explosive when played LIVE in front of a LIVE audience. A band rocking & rolling, sweating, giving it all, whipping the audience into a frenzy that would scare parents, politicians, and PTA groups from every small town.
Someone has to pick up where those before left off. Freddy Vette & the Flames having been doing their part since 2002. A band seemingly plucked from fifties and transported 50 years into the future. Eight musicians and singers playing the hits of Elvis, Jerry Lee, Buddy, Fats, Chuck Berry and more. Their attention to not only the musical details but the visual presentation of this music is second to none.
