Oreo Speedwagon, Classic Rock Dog

Overview

Small band with a big sound! Microbus plays classic rock hits of the '70's and '80's from artists like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, John Mellencamp, Steve Miller, etc. The big harmonies and authentic sounds will have you ready to party like it's 1979. It's freedom rock, turn it up, man!

Amazing, great artist with fabulous sense of humor

He was easy to book, showed up with plenty of time to set up, schmoozed my audience and was a great sport about our event. His sound, wow. He played a variety of song, some of his own, some covers o other artists, and he even played a request by one of our residents. I am defiantly bringing him back again!
