Ronnie Lee Twist and The Future Cats

About

Not just another tribute band! We're Living the legend!


It's about sideburns, hot guitars, cars, and girls that look like girls.
The all American music that makes you have to get up and dance...
Re-live the era of Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins,
Buddy Holly and more!

The energy, and the feel good music on the hot rod radio lives on with
Ronnie Lee Twist and The Future Cats ...Rockabilly Done Right!
From the first riff of the the night to the finale, it's the music you
remember from somewhere in your past. It may have been your parents
listening to Elvis, or maybe YOU were there when it happened.

Ronnie Lee Twist will take you on a trip back in time. Ronnie Lee is
Nashville's Premier Rockabilly tribute artist, and is now the most highly sought after Rockabilly performer in the Las Vegas area. Ronnie Lee is not an impersonator...
there are no jump suits... no wild tattoos... just good, honest Rockabilly,
the way it was meant to be played! Go back in time with songs like
Be Bop A Lu La, Honey Don't, Blue Suede Shoes and I Walk The Line
...Flash Back to more recent rockabilly like Rock This Town, Stray Cat Strut
or Crazy Little Thing Called Love...plus a few original surprises as well.

EVERYBODY loves this music! It transcends generations. It's what drove the popularity of movies like American Graffiti, the ultimate example of what it was like to be young, when music was all about hanging with friends and cruising 4th street.

The only thing in the Ronnie Lee Twist & the Future Cats show that will make you remember that you are in the 21st century are the cell phones everyone lights up and waves in the crowd.

Rockabilly Done Right! ......................Ronnie Lee Twist & The Future Cats!..............

Ronnie Lee Twist is available as a featured solo performer for your event or venue, and with his band, for any size corporate or private event. He is currently booking fairs, festivals, casinos, corporate functions, private parties and cruises. Ronnie Lee is available for international travel. Ronnie Lee also adds in additional performers (singers, musicians, impersonators/tribute artists) for larger events.

Ronnie Lee can perform a simple Singing Telegram as Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly or even the 1950's vintage Elvis, or a complete Rockabilly Tribute Show with his band, The Future Cats. Band Shows range from 1 to 4 hours, and can be fully self-contained relative to sound needs, or can just plug into house systems. Clients typically provide staging, electrical outlets and lighting.

Ronnie Lee's repertoire spans Classic ROCKABILLY from the Sun Records Era to current music of Brian Setzer & The Stray Cats. The Shows include music that spans generations. They are songs you love to listen to, sing along with, and dance to, such as Blue Suede Shoes, Folsom Prison Blues, Be Bop A Lula, and Rock This Town.

Ronnie Lee has a long history in the industry, performing since the age of 9. Highlights include extensive tours with many major country artists, including Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins. He is a member of the International Rockabilly Hall of Fame and the Traditional Country Music Hall of Fame. Ronnie has also received multiple Grammy nominations as a songwriter.

Ronnie Lee has received amazing reviews for his show CASH! which has been called 'a living tribute' to Johnny Cash, his friend and mentor. Ronnie Lee was one of the first Johnny Cash tribute artists to hit the stage. Since his first performances, he has expanded the Tribute Show to include hits of Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Gene Vincent, Elvis, Conway Twitty and more icons of the era. Although Ronnie Lee is not an impersonator in the pure sense of the word, he closely parallels the sounds of the original recordings, and has great interpersonal skills with his audience when he performs. NO ONE HAS EVER COME AWAY FROM A RONNIE LEE TWIST SHOW DISAPPOINTED! This show is family friendly, so no need to worry about the little ones. They will love it too!

Ronnie Lee is also one of the most sought after performers for smaller venues, such as guest ranches, clubs and private events. His electric personality can fill any room and any size stage as a solo act, with just his guitar and backing tracks, or with a smaller piece of his band.
