Rock5060 + Band in Victoria, BC

ABOUT

Since this is just for fun, I teamed up with karaoke-version.com, licensing partner Tency Music (copyright) to cover some of my favorite tunes from the 50s and 60s. There seems to be no Victoria interest in playing good old rock & roll and rockabilly except for maybe 2 established bands. If you prefer solid vocal and instrumental backup for your tunes, with no attitude, put-downs, fakes, back-stabbing, etc., I highly recommend the karaoke-version route. Works real good for me, have a listen........
