What is the Gator Face recipe? Seven spicy pieces.
At the heart of the band is something that no southern rock band can do without. Two strong guitarists, each with 25+ years stage experience. One with a heavier sound and the all important slide, the other with a cleaner finger picking sound. Combine them and this really captures the essence of what makes southern rock music so unique from other forms of rock & roll.
The next ingredient is essential for any authentic southern rock band. The honky tonk piano. Not only does the keyboardist play with great passion for the music,
He has the pedigree from Berklee College of Music.
The back bone of any outstanding band is the rhythm section.
Take one of the strongest drummers in the region, with 30 years experience
behind his kit, 20 of them simmering in the recording studio. But, that is only half
the rhythm section! The other half is the bass. And ours is thumping. With many years experience as a instrumentalist, sound technician and engineer, he is
superb at his job and really adds the boom to the band.
All this topped by two vocalists who totally capture the essence of the artists
they cover, and are true entertainers with the ability to work the crowd utilizing
many years of experience, performing for thousands of fans.
Gator Face, a very dynamic, versatile band, guaranteed to be a great addition
to your club, festival special event or corporate function.
