Tribute Tw Brown

Rock and Roll...the soundtrack to our lives. How many of life's memories have a particular song attached. Many of us grew up in what has to be at least considered to be one of the "Golden Eras" of live music. Sadly, like so many things these days, it has become a commercial business. Tickets cost as much as a car payment (or more!). Too often, you go to these reunions (or worse, a lineup that might only contain ONE original member), only to come away feeling cheated as well as lighter in the wallet. There has to be some magic left in this world...right? There is, and the answer comes in the form of two simple words. Tribute Bands. These groups of musicians are rising from the ashes of your dreams to bring you an experience that takes you back to the good times without breaking the bank. You may be working right beside one without even knowing that he or she leads a double-life worthy of any super hero. Your mild-mannered dentist by day might be the pseudo-Eddie Van Halen. Whether you are simply a lover of live music, a fan of an era that has priced itself out of the average budget, or perhaps a musician searching for that one thing that lets you keep doing what you love, TRIBUTE is a read worth your time. Author TW Brown spent two years in the Portland, Oregon Tribute Band scene where he was able to sit down with many of the performers and find out why they do this, and what makes the Tribute Band scene special. He was even fortunate enough to spend time with a promoter who shares some of the tips and secrets of what makes a successful Tribute Band. Your ticket is waiting.
