I created this band three years ago out of frustration that there weren't enough good local bands. It was a lot of work, but it paid off. We now have a great local following and our pick of local venues.
We play for an "active retiree" crowd in a great Florida resort town, so it's mostly tunes from the late 60s through early 90s, with lots of mid-70s stuff. I am blessed that we are six talented musicians who enjoy playing together, fronted by two strong vocalists.

Here's a sample of us in Spring 2023 at a street festival.
I also wrote an extended guide about how I created this band from scratch, and everything I had to do to make it work.

Re: My Band "Glory Days"
Nice job Chuck! I hope this isn't inappropriate for a keyboard centric forum. Being a guitarist myself I couldn't help notice your guitarist has good tone. The vocalist has a Don Henley vibe, which is a good compliment.

Re: My Band "Glory Days"
Very cool, Chuck! I'm checking out Boys of Summer now...one of my favorite songs. My current band does this tune, though we do a bit of a mashup of Don Henley's original along with the Ataris version, which is a bit more of a rocker. I still replicate the synth parts from Don Henley's version.
The mix sounds great to me! Nice sound from all instruments and very nice vocals.
