We talk with local CT musician Alan Marcus from a new band called The British Legends of Rock Show. Alan had a long run in other bands in Fairfield County but wanted to step it up and form a new kind of tribute band...instead of catering to just one popular rock band like Led Zeppelin or The Who and their songs he decided to change it up by paying tribute to multiple bands. But he had to draw the line somewhere and make a decision on which bands to cover and perform stellar versions of their songs at the same time. That is when he came up with The British Legends of Rock Show! We chat briefly about why some of the bookings have changed at the local venues since the pandemic, how the tribute bands have exploded all over the backyard of NYC and why they are in demand!
