Overview

The Rockingbirds combine powerfully executed renditions of the origins of Classic Rock with tight harmonies floating above a bottom-end groove provided by Bassist David Close and Drummer Mitchell Widmer. Groovemaster John Ghirardini uses an authentic Hammond organ and swirling Leslie cabinet to create the signature 60s big piano and organ sounds. Michael Colford wrings shimmering riffs and thoughtful tone from his vintage guitars and Gemma Colford's voice honors the spirit of 60s female sirens like Dusty, Grace and Janis. The Rockingbirds create a kaleidoscope of sound that is rare to hear "live" these days. They intoxicate audiences with the desire to dance, sing, remember and smile.

What to Expect

At least once during a Rockingbirds performance you will experience an "Oh My!!" moment--where you will be transported back in time to a dance floor in your high school gym, a block party or first concert where you heard one of these memorable original classic rock songs. You will find yourself involuntarily clapping your hands and tapping your feet. You will feel the surge of desire to move and groove to the music. Lyrics will suddenly come back to you and you will find yourself singing along. You may have to share a memory with another audience member about when and where you first heard this song or what the song means to you. The Rockingbirds will deliver this time honored music with energy and professionalism.
