Voices
of Rock is a live presentation containing segments
of music from the greatest classic rock bands
of the 70's and 80's. Says guitarist David Rodé "This
is the only act of its kind to present a true-to-form
tribute to a variety of groups, instead of a whole
show devoted to one band." Diverse 5-10 minute
segments showcase the hits of over 10 super groups.
This is a multidimensional show with wide appeal
as opposed to the cliches of the single-focus
tribute band. Four journeyman rockers play a tribute
to the classic rock that unites generations in
this show of Rock shows. In short sets of the
hits of such Classic bands as Journey, Foreigner,
U2, AC-DC, these pros breathe new life into this
familiar music with a unique 'best-of' show. This
broad selection appeals to a wider audience with
the sophisticated tastes of today's listeners.

The Voice of 'Voices'
is Pete George. His ability to nail the singing styles of
vocalists from Steve Perry of Journey to the young Rod Stewart
is phenomenal. Called "The Man of 1000 Voices", he sounds
like these Rock titans in their glory. Indeed, the show relies
on faithful renditions of these classics, and not cheesy
wig and makeup-fueled mimicry.
The band looks like rockers
because they are, not because they are costumed and coiffed.
And the sound is real, with no gimmicks, sequencing or prerecorded
production. The musicians are members of Topper, a veteran
band with over 20 years experience touring and recording.
The show includes original material from their CD compilation "Only
For the Money/Deluxe Edition", that fits in seamlessly with
the covers in the show. These guys are a band very much like
the groups featured in the show. Topper, a working band with
a large US and European fan base, has collaborated to present "Voices
Of Rock".
The promo DVD is recorded
live in real time, with no overdubbing or studio enhancement.
Shot in a single take at Kerrigan's, one of the Southeast's
premiere live venues, it is a true reflection of the excitement
of the show. What you see in the promo is what you get: the
raw thrill of real Rock, performed live with passion by pros
who care.
