July 7 - The Shoemaker Brothers
The Shoemaker Brothers are four brothers from Washington State. They moved to Los Angeles last year to play their original music. In that short year they have built a huge following in Los Angeles. The demographic of the fan base they have gathered in a year is amazing the fans range in age from the very young to Baby Boomers. Their original and unique music is so layered and diverse that they receive rave reviews wherever they play. Musicians and fans alike declare this band to be the best live band they have ever heard or seen. The Brothers astound the audience by switching instruments, as they perform, they are all classically trained on string instruments, they all sing lead vocals and harmonies and they all play guitar, piano, drums and bass. The Brothers draw large crowds at all the major venue’s and are booked and re-booked constantly. They have played Whiskey A Go Go, The Roxy, Canyon Club, World Fest, Camarillo Festival, Oak's Music Nights. They have also opened for major act's like Little Feet, Loggins and Messina, Los Lobos, Canned Heat, all this in one short year. For an unknown band just arrived in Los Angeles this kind of progress in such a short time is phenomenal. This a Band you have to see and hear.



July 14 - Led Zepagain
Led Zepagain was paid the highest compliment ever when Jimmy Page caught their show at the House of Blues in Hollywood. After watching the show, he requested to meet the band in the dressing room, and praised them on their accuracy!
Led Zepagain takes the audience to a place that not only replicates a Led Zeppelin concert, but captures the heart and soul of the world's greatest band. A Led Zepagain show features all of the Zeppelin highlights, from the high energy electric classics, to the beautiful acoustic works; from the soaring leads on the double-neck guitar, to the brilliant keyboard passages, and from the high, Robert Plant screams, to the trademark pounding rhythms. From the moment Led Zepagain hits the stage, you'll believe, this is definitely the “Real Deal!"



July 21 - The Basix
The Basix ...a well established full-time professional cover / dance / Top 40 band that has for the past 15 years been playing major corporate-private parties, weddings, festivals, concerts, Disneyland, Las Vegas, clubs, and all the top casinos in California. All members have extensive musical backgrounds, sing lead, and play an instrument. This opens the doors to full rich harmonies and a wide variety of musical possibilities. The Basix are of the few cover bands selected to open for national acts every year for their ability to sound and perform to the approval of the promoters, headliners, and their fans.
The band has opened for Berlin, Patty Smyth (Scandal), America, Air Supply, Christopher Cross, Loverboy, Survivor, Ambrosia, Three Dog Night, Eddie Money, The Grass Roots, The Spinners, The Coasters, The Drifters, Lou Graham, The Little River Band, The Marshall Tucker Band, and The Village People.



July 28 - The Atomic Punks
The Atomic Punks are a tribute to early Van Halen, the David Lee Roth era. Formed in 1994, the Atomic Punks have performed well over 300 shows in places like Hollywood, CA, San Diego, CA, Las Vegas, NV, Phoenix, AZ, Scottsdale, AZ, Seattle, WA, Denver, CO, Honolulu, HI, Andover, MN, St. Louis, MO, Pittsburgh, PA, most recently Salt Lake City, UT, and most importantly, Pasadena, CA, where Van Halen started their meteoric rise to stardom. There is one important point the band always makes clear at their shows. The Atomic Punks don't think they are Van Halen, they simply love to play old Van Halen and it shows in their amazingly realistic, power-packed stage show. No Van Halen tribute band captures the note for note performance and feel of an old show like the Atomic Punks. If you love vintage Van Halen, and wish you could experience and relive the energy the "Mighty" VH created with "Diamond" Dave behind the mic, you do not want to miss the Atomic Punks. They are the ultimate tribute to early Van Halen!



August 4 - The Walking Phoenixes
When The Walking Phoenixes take the stage in their signature black three-piece suits, you can’t help but wonder how four young guys have even heard of Johnny Cash much less learned to accurately perform his groundbreaking hits from “Folsom Prison” to “Cocaine Blues.” The Walking Phoenixes mix three-part harmonies, explosive guitar solos and an absolutely riveting stage presence to create a show you won‘t want to miss. Knowing that all four members of The Walking Phoenixes met on separate occasions wearing black, sipping whiskey and listening to the classic Johnny Cash hits is by no mistake and ensures that this band was meant to be. In addition to paying homage to the original Man in Black, The Walking Phoenixes play songs made famous by other artists including Waylon Jennings, John Denver, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, The Allman Brothers and The Eagles.



August 11 - The Durell Coleman Band
A Motown, soul, classic and current R&B high end 12 piece band which features ex-Star Search winner, Durell Coleman, fronting his awesome show band. With multiple lead vocalists, choreographed dance and a powerful horn section they perform hits from classic r& b, Motown, and current dance tunes. Durell and his band have opened for Earth Wind & Fire, The Temptations and Anita Baker.



August 18 - Bandidos De Amor
They are, for lack of a more descriptive genre, a Latin/World Music group who perform what they call “California Rumba”. They mix in a little Jamaican Roots and Argentinean Folklorica as well as American Alternative Roots. This is a style quietly brewing in the clubs and cafes around southern California, and the south beach Miami area. It’s a style influenced by the European and South American Rumba styles, but performed with the aggressiveness of an American pop/rock attitude. Their music is extremely infectious. The group sings in both Spanish and English. Their audience is international and intergenerational. They have performed very successfully in and around southern California for the past several years, as well as in New York, Florida, Hawaii, Utah, Las Vegas and Mexico. Their members have appeared in Films, Television, Radio and have also performed on numerous CD recordings of many well known artists from around the globe. Their members' compositions have been the soundtracks for film, television and radio programs.



August 25 - Wanted
WANTED is an incredible replication of the music of Bon Jovi that was created with one purpose in mind... To create a fun concert environment in the style, vibe and atmosphere of the spectacle that is known as a live Bon Jovi show. The band was created after numerous requests from agents and promoters who have worked with the band on other projects, and was two years in the making. WANTED is based out of Los Angeles California and is comprised completely of established professional national act musicians. WANTED is a slick, rock and roll machine that has played to rave reviews and sold out venues almost immediately after the band's first shows.
