Uncle Bob's Rock Shop is a very good one. I also saw a really good blues band called The Smokin Torpedoes. There have been a few others but I'm terrible at remembering names.

As long as there's a live band playing their own instruments I enjoy it.

I wish they would get rid of the button pushers. I sympathize with them because I know that it's tough to make an decent money with more than one or two people.

My vote would be Uncle Bob's for their outstanding musicianship and Rocky for their crowd pleasing fun. Tough to go wrong with either one.


(For Dr. Winston: some of the biggest acts in music 2014 are "button pushers" i.e. David Guetta; Calvin Harris; Steve Aoki. - They add some great vocals to their 'buttons' like on Titanium (with Sia on vocals with David Guetta). I like to think of their "buttons" as an instrument of a new type.)

Uncle Bb's Rock Shop is great. Comfortably Numb

The Dan Story and Motown are my favorites.

What ever happened to Yesterdayz? I am only a six month snowbird and don't recall seeing them in a long time.

I agree. It's just that being a musician and knowing how difficult it is to get work around here and knowing how little musicians are paid, it difficult for me to see machines replacing human beings.

It's happening in a lot of professions and to tell the truth, I've toyed with the idea of doing it myself.

I really enjoy Mpire. If you haven't had a chance to seem them, they're worth a listen.

Winston- the band you are in would be a great addition to entertainment at the squares! Has anyone seen them? No one in the villages can sing Folsom Prison like the doc!

Uncle Bob's Rock Shop will be at Brownwood tonight and next Thursday at LSL. I usually never miss them, best band to play in TV.

Saw Uncle Bob's Rock Shop at Spanish Springs in May. The crowd there seemed to be more of an audience which was a lot of fun to be part of. They were totally into the group to the point that nobody was linedancing. Now that's an amazing band.

Uuummm.... Scooter the DJ is not a band. He's a guy that runs a computer. In my opinion when the advertise "Live Entertainment", I expect to see people playing instruments and creating music.

Totally agree. If I wanted to hear karaoke i would go to the local bar and listen. Most of the entertainment is what I call caned music. People singing with tracks. Like I said karaoke. They should look for someone that has experience in entertainment that hires bands.

We saw Yesterdayze at Spanish Springs in Febuary I think. They were great. :) I would love to see Vinyl Recall play at the squares, they are excellent and very entertaining to watch. The female vocalist is so talented as are the rest of the group.

I think that when they play LSL it's a four or five piece band. Still excellent.
