Overview

Smokestack Rock is a fusion of old school blues guitar and piano with the modern musical elements of today. Much like The Beatles and Eric Clapton translated blues legends like Robert Johnson and Roosevelt Sykes to rock and roll, Smokestack Rock attempts to do the same. Rather than building on current rock music, Smokestack Rock builds on blues legends in order to create their own, unique take on rock music. Smart lyrics and heavy riffs best describe this band’s sound. Listening to some Smokestack Rock songs is like experiencing a whole movie in 3 minutes, with unique story telling and awesome special effects!

About

At a Smokestack Rock performance you can expect some good old American rock from one of Long Island's true lyricists. We can provide the PA, but at an extra cost. We have been recognized in numerous newspapers/ magazines as an energetic and engaging performance. The show can range from 30 minutes to 2 hours (including a short break time). We have kid friendly lyrics and experience working with kids. The singer teaches after school music classes and runs a Songwriting workshop. When you book Smokestack Rock, you may even run into the GreenGorillaBeast, the band's mascot that feeds solely on distortion and kick drums. Whenever Smokestack Rock plays, he has a habit of showing up. But watch out… he's a wild animal and he may be coming to get ya!
