2024 Christmas Benefit Series for Zach's Toy Chest!!! 

We're once again partnering with Zach's Toy Chest for this years Trans-Siberian Orchestra tribute series. We're rehearsing, starting to book shows, and lining up sponsorships for both individual shows and the season! The more overhead we can cover with sponsorships, the more ticket sales goes to Zach's!

Show listings as they are booked, and more info can be found at:

And sponsorship information can be found here:

Depending on the level, sponsors get tickets to shows, ads in the programs, and more!  More details on the Zach's website!

This year's promo is up!  Enjoy!

 

August 24th show with The Origin, Faster Horse, and One Tribe!! 

Join us for a mini festival of harmony and rhythm at LoneRider Brewing on August 24th! Vendors, food trucks and more!

For your entertainment, we have put together a great show, starting in the afternoon with Faster Horse - An acoustic tribute to Neil Young. Ed and the band cover Neil's storied career from Sugar Mountain through Cinnamon Girl. Definitely a must see!

Next up is One Tribe and their drum and rhythm show. One Tribe performs at Final Friday in Cary each month and other events, bringing a unique blend of African and traditional rhythms together for a quite engaging performance.

Wrapping up the event, The Origin will be bringing a full set of the best of Santana! During our set, Caroleena (who usually performs with One Tribe) will be performing her fire dancing.

Mark your calendar now! A mini festival, great music, and the best LoneRider Brewing ales will make for an awesome day!

Been a few! 

It's been a few since our last post. We had an absolute blast at Bowstring, and will be back there in the Fall!

It's just a really crazy year, with folks traveling, work, etc.  That said, we're still at it, working on things, the website, demos, and more!  The setlist for this year's TSO shows is set, and rehearsals begin soon. On the regular trib side of things, we are close to finishing the “Wish You Were Here” album, and continue to work on the Woodstock set.

We've managed to herd the cats enough to pull together some shows (with maybe a couple more in the works) and they are now up on the Shows and Events page. Each one is unique and special in it's own way. Really looking forward to joining up with One Tribe and Faster Horse in August. Ed has put his Neil Young trib back together, and it is definitely a show to see.

More news soon!  (really, lol   -M)
