UPCOMING SHOWS

Previous events

The ’56tees bring back to life one of the purest forms of American Roots music and lays it down with style. From blues-tinged, hip-shakin’ rockers like “Johnny B. Goode” and “Shake, Rattle & Roll” to the sultry, starlight ballads of “Love Me” or “Unchained Melody”, Bret’s silky-smooth, powerful vocals make every female swoon and the fellas want to run out and race with their buddies for pinks! The ethereal twang of Archie’s Fender Tele on tunes like, “Sleepwalk” and “Honey Don’t” are reminiscent of Carl Perkins and James Burton. Lou’s’ Solid “Mad” and steady on the Electric & Upright bass have to be seen to be believed! Along with “Smiling Jim” laying down the beat on the skins while Eric, fills out the powerhouse sound on the keys! – Just wait ‘til you see the boys rockin out to the fun-filled tunes of yesteryear “the best of years” – unbelievable! So, put your glad-rags on and grab your best gal or guy – 56tees is Rock & Roll that’s here to stay and they’re gonna blow the roof off the joint!
