VMB - the classic 70s's Horn Band Tribute! 70's Vintage Horn Band Rock, and Classic Blue-Eyed Soul. A huge cover band on a mission to "re-cover", if you're looking for a good time, call. Whether you remember or should know about those afterglow days and fond memories just after "Peace, Love and Rock and Roll".. or was it "Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll"...? (We can't quite remember, but the hell with it) all we want you to do is Have Some Fun! When audiences are brought back to the cusp of memories and experiences felt in the doorway of 1970, a time when renegade and heretic Rock music was evolving from the 60's to include the huge sound of R&B, giant Big Band horn sections, the soul, funk and rock enfusion defined the new musical experience. Bands like Tower of Power, Cold Blood, The Electric Flag, Sons of Champlin, the Bay Area's "East Bar Grease" brought a sound that eventually found a way and turned the corner into the pop charts, with the largest pop bands such as Chicago, and Blood, Sweat and Tears... Even the huge vintage big band Rock era of Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen, the Blues Brothers and more are visited by the band. So plug in, tune in, drop out and join us - VMB... 70's Vintage Horn Band Rock and Classic Blue-Eyed Soul! Blow the roof off of your place. Call now! Operators are standing by. Ron Knight - voiceover talent from Sirius Radio, Nickelodeon, Travel Channel, ABC Television and countless productions for animation series, Universal Studios and more is a voice 'mimic' who brings his vocal style to Sound-alike shows in this Tribute to vintage horn bands of the 70's and classic Blue Eyed Soul. Featuring key players whose credits that include time with Melissa Manchester, Peter Allen, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Rocky Burnetts, Tony Bennett, The Little River Band, Boz Scaggs, Sonny & Cher, Jan & Dean and more, the band is tight and monstrous on its emulations. New CD Releases: "Voombox" and "Who Stole the Covers?" "Ron Knight, musician and former world music programmer for Sirius Radio, opened in March...soon the chanting morphs into drumming that picks up the rhythm...It's a good feeling" - Union Tribune "VMB (Vintage Monster Band) featuring Ron Knight (the man of a 1000 voices) is really strong. Nobody does what he does out there, and that makes a big selling point to this band." - John Hunt "Folks are talking about it like crazy here and LOVED it - you really made the evening an amazing success!" - Oxford Health Plans ".. a Great Energy Builder for our group event" - Unilever "Thanks again for the great show you did at our Regional Franchise Convention in St. Thomas. You brought LIFE to the event, and the feedback from all of our franchisees has been fantastic... Upper management as well!" - KFC Int'l - PepsiCo. "It's a breath of fresh air to get an artist in here who really values good music and makes it apparent in the songs they choose and the musicians they ask to join them" - Carlos Marin, Jr. - Rolling Thunder Studios and Rolling Thunder Records "As event manager for the Ad Club, thanks for the great show you did at Summer Splash at the Dana on Mission Bay. Everybody loved the music... even the VIP's had a great time! Please hold the date for our Awards Gala at the La Jolla Marriot. I'm sure you'll once again rock the crowd!" - Revel Productions, Inc.
