Think Motown. Think Classic Rock 'n Roll. Now listen. Ah yes, a little Marvin Gaye. A dab of You've landed at a Rendition gig. Their voices blend naturally, acoustically, like they are meant to be together. Starting with Marvin Gaye moving on down to Mustang Sally - and hits from all the decades. Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Although these guys individually have logged in decades of music - together they're a "new band." Welcome to the Denver metro scene, Rendition. The Rendition band got together about 4 ½ years ago and now has been gigging together for the last 4 years. Darrell is the newest addition to the band, and I met him a few years back when he played for The Grid. Rendition, a group of six guys, are seasoned and their voices melt together like butter on popcorn. I connected with Darrell, lead singer of the band, who actually used to play with The Grid, a band <strong>Motorcycle</strong><strong>Rider</strong><strong>News</strong>.com reviewed a couple of years ago. Since then, of course, his regular band gig disbanded. Through a Craigslist ad, he met up and then auditioned with the other members of the Rendition group just over six months ago. It was an immediate connection as their voices melt together like chocolate s'mores on a hot summer night. Rendition's band members share the following tidbits for our readers: • After each show, Darrell so he jumps into his hot tub relax, but no matter how long he's up, he always starts early playing golf at West Woods. • Frank and his wife always go out to breakfast after a gig. • Bill, Frank and Frank's wife go out for Mexican food every night before their gig. • Tom would strap his drums on his Harley, if possible. • Ron really likes his sax solo. He could easily be convinced to do more of them. • Keyboard players Wynn wants things done a certain way, and the band is okay with that. The Rendition song list reads like a dance-your-bootie-off night out. Take your pick - you'll not be able to resist. How about 634- 5789; Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen; Brick House; Brown Eyed Girl; Electric Slide; Get Down Tonight; I Wanna Dance With You; Kansas City; Knock On Wood; Mercy Mercy Mercy; Midnight Hour; Mustang Sally; Neon Moon; Slip Away; Sweet Home Chicago; Under the Boardwalk; and Wonderful Tonight. Give these guys a listen - the first song will win you over. The band's website www.classicrenditionband.com lists upcoming gigs, which include shows at Zephyr Lounge, In The Zone Bar, Two Doors Down, and Roadhouse. 18 MAY <strong>2011</strong> MOTORCYCLE RIDER NEWS—ENTERTAINMENT MOTORCYCLERIDERNEWS.COM
Titan Thunder Poker Run The weather tried to silence the thunder of the 1st Annual, Legend High School, Titan Thunder Poker Run. However, the hardiest of riders showed up to make this a successful fund raising event. While the number of riders may have been small, the hearts were huge. Band Booster President Robert Moroni could not believe that these riders would brave the cold to support the band. He wished to express his gratitude to the sponsors and participants, who made the 1st event a success. We look to see more of you at the next one.
