~ Statement for Press ~

The Rebels is a five-piece band from Virginia performing classic rock & roll and vintage country songs. They are all experienced and seasoned musicians having performed professionally in many bands for many years both in the USA and overseas. Although they are seasoned, it has not caused them to lose the excitement of performing and they regularly engage and entertain their audiences accordingly.They have also just returned from their mini UK Tour where they played a number of pubs and clubs to sold-out houses, receiving rave reviews in the press. Be prepared to have fun and dance your you-know-what off!

~ Testimonials ~

It was my pleasure to play host to Johnny and the Rebels in Jan 2010. They pulled in the crowds and rolled back the years. The atmosphere was amazing and it was great to bring together such a group of people ranging from 18-100 who could all enjoy their tunes. Excellent Band!

I organise annual 'Back To The Sixties' festivals in the Southampton England area as I used to sing with several pop groups throughout the Sixties and early Seventies. The Concorde Club is one of the longest established venues in the UK and hosts many top names in all fields of the music industry, so quite a prestige venue for any artiste.

In January 2010, we were lucky enough to headline with the visiting 'Johnny and the Rebels' who were on a short UK tour and they just blew the audience away! They have a massive repertoire, thanks to each of the musicians having a wealth of experience in the business, but they adapted their set list to suit the 'Sixties' theme of our special shows.

These shows normally feature English bands and singers so the audience were thrilled to have these terrific guys over from the USA and the vocals, musicianship and stage presence really impressed us Brits! On this show, they were joined by Noel Tresider who travelled all the way from his home in Australia to sit in with his old buddies on keyboards. Noel is a highly respected musician Down Under and one of his crowning achievements was being part of the support band for the Beatles 1964 Tour of Australia.

I would recommend Johnny and the Rebels to any venue, large or small as they will certainly get any audience going and keep them rocking and rolling all night!

Wow, these guys REALLY ROCK. Their experience shines through with their wide repertoire and very tight sound. Do not miss out on a fantastic nostalgic tour of the best of 60's music. From The Rolling Stones to The Troggs they cover the best of the most exciting decade in music. Very highly recommended.
