Not just a band, but a statement!

Old Dudes Rock is a new trio that plays rock and roll with attitude. Loaded with a wealth of experience, they will not lay down because they are still knocking out great music that rocks. They have all been 'around' the music business and have known each other for years and this is the first time they have played together. The combination sizzles.

They don't jump around the stage like they used too, or leap off amp stacks, or drink till they fall down anymore. The music is now the priority. That just gets better and better with age. They're not done yet!

The main ingredients for a great night out is, great company, great venue, great service and a great band. We have the band, you have the venue and the service, now its up to people to enjoy themselves. Even if the company, venue or service is struggling you can depend on these guys to 'take up the slack'
