New bands in town - Tallahassee

[bcherod]

For those in Tallahassee, we have a few new bands.

Pineapple Tuesday will be at Stx from 9-1 on Friday. Beatles covers, good dance music and good to dance to.

Do you like tribute/cover bands?

I saw Zoso a few months ago. They were great. They're a Zeppelin tribute band.

Their lead singer has been with them 28 years and can still hit the high notes.

Bands do covers because that pays the bills, but there are so many other good songs, like Soul Sacrifice that is never used as a cover.

But we have a couple of really cool things going on in Tallahassee. The Jazz students do a set of covers of particular jazz artists, then they jam and do some far out stuff.

The same things happen with the blues bands and blue grass.

I have a number of friends that do "Americana" with a lot of originals. One of my favorites in Tallahassee is Finn and the Kingsnakes. They do a lot of covers and do them well. They do a great job of reggae.

In the old days, way before your time, Brian, singing all the protest songs of the '60's and '70's was considered a cover. Everyone played "The times are a changin'" , Dylan song.

We have people in town that have recorded a lot and have performed in NOLA, NYC and Nashville.

Dan Owens, Mae West Band is right here.

That's just to name a little bit of the stuff.

Thanks!

I'm pretty old (40) but I'm not Bob Dylan old.

You're just a young un.

Thanks. I'm halfway to eternity.

I'm a huge classic rock fan. Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Pink Floyd and the Doors.

A few years ago, I wrote Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones letters saying my only dream in life is to see them live front row in Heaven and I included 5 Jesus prayer cards in each letter.

God only knows if they got them.

I'd be happy hanging out with Janis Joplin, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison......

And drifting over to hear classical and visit the poets.

Looking forward to fall and seeing some of these bands maybe.
The groups who are booked for Friday nights in Collegetown all sound the same after a while.

Looking forward to the fall as well.... I'm watching Lawrence Welk, Perry Como and Tom Jones (Its not unusual) reruns now and getting all worked up. Wish I could see Bobby dance just one more time and watch the accordian guy play with the Don Ho Tiny bubbles sprouting about...... That is all.

That’s because they’re primarily “cover bands”. No originals and few lesser known covers.
