Pearl Doubt & the counting blowfish fighters

...finding a name to fit them all

Mega alt-rock and pop-rock hits from the 90's and 2000's regularly grace the airwaves and top streaming lists today. The songs aren't new, and they're not classic rock either. They are almost classic!

Almost Classic is:

Nate Dilling - bass, backing vocals

Tyler Billings - lead vocals, rhythm/lead guitar

Jamie Stavenger - lead vocals, keyboard

Donnie Canup - lead/rhythm guitar, backing vocals

Tyler Dilling - drums, percussion

While there are many cover bands, Almost Classic’s focus is on the rock hits the decade leading up to, and right after, Y2K (remember when computers would end the world???). With rock alternative of the 1990-2010s still in heavy rotation on the airwaves and topping streaming lists today, covering live versions of these songs in your venue is a quick way to connect with and enhance your guests’ experience. These are authentic covers, not “our band’s version”. When combined with AC’s pursuit of finding just the “right tone” for a guitar, vocal, or keyboard track, the end result is authentic covers of some of the best songs to come out this lifetime. 

Almost Classic is always pumped to provide a fully “plugged-in” set, or they can scale songs back to an “acoustic-ish” version to meet the needs of a smaller venue or event. If needed, the band can supply a professional grade PA suited for indoors or an outdoor crowd of several hundred. Almost Classic can cover the typical 3-hour set or provide an abbreviated performance in a multiple-band situation, and with enough notice, can likely learn a song of your choice on request.
