Jim Anderson & The Rebels

Great show, Lively Performance

We saw Jim Anderson and The Rebels in January, 2012 in Pleasanton, CA at the Firehouse Arts Center.

We were delighted to two hours of early Elvis Presley music, very well presented, tasteful, and high-energy. There was a minimum amount of biographical background minutia, mostly just music. The band consisted of two guitars, a drummer, and keyboard who really complemented Jim with light-hearted humor with a great stage presence. Jim was authentic to early Elvis, no sequinned jumpsuit. The volume was suitable for us, unlike some of the rock concerts I've had to endure.

Jim really interacted with the audience. He made several trips out into the orchestra seats, and even a trip to the balcony seats to smooze with the audience which was primarily in their 50's and 60's and decidedly skewed to being female. At 64, these were my peoples.

Jim Anderson and The Rebels were a great value, put on a great show, and I'd certainly see them again if they came to my area again. They played their hearts out for us, and in return had my wife's and my own!
