Revved Up Zeke
Revved Up Zeke is a 3 piece Edmonton based Rock Band playing songs from the 70’s to present day. Although the band leans toward Classic Rock, it shows it versatile side by including songs from Toto to Simon & Garfunkel to The Cherrys (Wild and Buck) to Queen to AC/DC. There is also usually a special guest appearance by Kathleen Sera to add some more Vocal flavour to the mix. Rock for everyone and plenty of ways to have the dance floor jumping and the party pumping. The Band Features 3 veteran Edmonton area Musicians with loads of experience both on stage and in the studio. Each was fortunate enough to be professional full-time musicians early in their careers. That valuable time spent learning their craft pays dividends now with Revved Up Zeke. It is obvious from the first note that these 3 guys love being together and playing rock together. Randy and Todd had provided a rhythm section for several years in several different projects but always had it in mind to recruit a guitar player and start a new project. Tim was “coaxed” out of retirement from performing to re unite with his long-time bass player/vocalist Todd. It was instant chemistry. Their energy is infectious and a great time is the usual symptom. Come for your Rock N Roll checkup……
