| About The Amazing Echoes What makes “The Amazing Echoes” so amazing? Well for starters...
Billed as the world’s first interactive classic rock n’ oldies experience, The Amazing Echoes is a fascinating collective of singers, performers, musicians and “characters” with one common goal: Entertain audiences while having fun on-stage themselves. Performing with equal parts music, comedy, costumes and audience participation, The Echoes offer an utterly unique, enjoyable and often hilarious experience for audiences of all ages.
The Amazing Echoes has a long history of performing and show business experience, spanning decades of musical styles and genres. Influences include the great originators of rock: Elvis, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ricky Nelson, Roy Orbison, Everly Brothers and dozens of “one hit wonder” artists, as well as early 60's sensations like The Coasters, Girl Groups, The Ventures, and the Beatles, right through the psychedelic era with The Doors, The Byrds, Donovan, Van Morrison, even into the 70s with Willie Nelson, Jimmy Buffett, The Moody Blues, etc.
Nicknamed “The Human Jukebox” with his ability to perform hundreds of songs from memory, lead singer and lead guitarist Charlie Mayer brings over 35 years of performing to the stage. His renditions often involve new and unique arrangements to the familiar classics. Randy "T-Bone" Rudd, Master of Ceremonies, vocalist and all around musician, keeps things moving and audiences guessing (even the band sometimes!) throughout performances. Gerry “Bulldog” Savoy, acclaimed sax-fiend of the legendary “Johnny Dee & The Rocket 88s” brings his “anything-goes” style of playing, comedy and performing into the mix. The one and only Don "Boom Boom" Hatcher is on drums, along with the always enchanting and talented Morgan "Mad Dog" Leeth on bass. Rounding out our regular lineup is former personal back scratcher to Mr. Danny DeVito, and now head cheerleader and vocalist, Debbie "Pookie" Christ. Jim "Chuckles" Powell plays keyboards and brings with him a sense of humor that will leave you scratching your head. Finally there's Brandy "Spooky" O'Steen. Billed simply as "The world's greatest singer".Then there are the surprise musicians! Sometimes WE don't even know who will show up and play.
Last but never least, the main stars of the show… our audience members! That’s right. Attending a performance of The Amazing Echoes virtually guarantees your participation. It’s impossible not to be caught up in the music and performance. The Echoes see to that — with a series of bits, skits and even live on-stage “total immersion” Karaoke, bringing the best of reality game show television to your venue. This act is nothing you or your audience have seen before…guaranteed! As one audience member put it: "It's like The Marx Brothers invading American Bandstand."
THAT’S what makes “The Amazing Echoes” amazing! That’s also why you and your group are sure to enjoy dancing, singing and laughing along with the one-of-a-kind, lively, unpredictable and utterly amazing Echoes.
