AWAKEN — Yes Tribute
AWAKEN is a professional Southern California tribute band dedicated to recreating the music of Yes with exceptional precision, capturing the vocals, harmonies, instrumentation, arrangements, and stage feel that define the band’s legendary sound. Formed in 2018, they describe themselves as “the most authentic live YES show in the world,” a claim supported by their obsessive attention to detail and deep study of both studio recordings and classic 1970s live performances. Unlike typical tribute acts, AWAKEN performs complex, rarely attempted Yes material such as Close to the Edge, Heart of the Sunrise, Siberian Khatru, The Gates of Delirium, and the monumental Awaken itself. Their lineup features top‑tier progressive musicians, including musical director and keyboardist Joe Luca, who previously collaborated with Jon Anderson and expertly recreates the layered textures essential to Yes. Lead vocalist Ron Alonso delivers the purity and emotional transparency of Jon Anderson’s iconic voice, while guitarist Danny Bryle tackles the demanding multi‑style role of Steve Howe with authenticity and finesse. Supported by musicians covering the roles of Chris Squire, Alan White/Bill Bruford, and Rick Wakeman/Patrick Moraz, AWAKEN excels in vocal harmonies, odd‑time precision, and faithful long‑form arrangements. Their setlist often includes fan‑favorites like Roundabout, Starship Trooper, I’ve Seen All Good People, And You and I, Machine Messiah, and Close to the Edge. Known for immersive production, atmospheric intros, and dramatic lighting, AWAKEN delivers a theatrical, concert‑level Yes experience that has earned strong praise from progressive rock fans — even the notoriously picky ones.
Full Collins Band — Phil Collins Tribute
Full Collins is a Southern California–based tribute act dedicated to the music of Phil Collins, Genesis, and select hits from Peter Gabriel and Mike + The Mechanics. Their regional roots make them an ideal fit for EARTHDAYGLOBAL, offering easier logistics, lower travel costs, and strong flexibility for coordination and performance. Led by Robert Adams on lead vocals, drums, and keys, the band captures the unique multi‑role performance style that defines Phil Collins’ sound. The lineup also includes Tyler Page on guitar, Ivan Ferreira on drums and backing vocals, and Mark Cummings on bass and backing vocals—each contributing to the layered, atmospheric arrangements that Collins and Genesis are known for. Their repertoire spans more than 30 songs across four decades, including major Phil Collins solo hits like In the Air Tonight, Against All Odds, Sussudio, Easy Lover, and Another Day in Paradise, along with Genesis favorites such as Invisible Touch, Land of Confusion, Follow You Follow Me, and Throwing It All Away. They also perform select extended material from Peter Gabriel and Mike + The Mechanics, making their set a dynamic, crowd‑pleasing experience for all generations.
TLR — Eagles Tribute
The Long Run is a premier Southern California tribute band dedicated to recreating the timeless music and live experience of the Eagles. Known for their precision musicianship, layered acoustic and electric arrangements, and signature vocal harmonies, TLR captures the heart of what makes the Eagles one of the most challenging and beloved bands to tribute. Their strength lies in harmony—those unmistakable stacked vocals that define songs like Take It Easy, Peaceful Easy Feeling, Lyin’ Eyes, Seven Bridges Road, and I Can’t Tell You Why. TLR’s commitment to vocal accuracy and clean, disciplined performance has earned them a strong reputation across the region. Their setlist spans the Eagles’ full catalog, from early country‑rock favorites (Take It Easy, Already Gone) to the iconic arena era (Hotel California, New Kid in Town, Life in the Fast Lane) and the reflective classics (Desperado, The Long Run, Heartache Tonight). Rather than relying on costumes or theatrics, TLR focuses on musicianship first—honoring the Eagles’ polished, confident, and effortless stage aesthetic. With multiple lead vocalists, rich guitar work, and authentic arrangements, The Long Run delivers a faithful, emotionally resonant Eagles experience that connects across generations and brings the spirit of California rock to life.
Twisted Gypsy — Fleetwood Mac Tribute
Twisted Gypsy is a high‑energy Southern California Fleetwood Mac tribute band known for delivering a fully live, reimagined version of the Fleetwood Mac experience. Rather than imitating the band note‑for‑note, they focus on recreating the emotion, chemistry, and mystique of the classic 1975–1987 era—bringing more movement, power, and theatricality to the stage than most tribute acts. With all live vocals, harmonies, and instrumentation (no backing tracks), their six‑piece lineup channels the signature roles of Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood with authenticity and modern energy. Their setlist features iconic hits like Dreams, The Chain, Rhiannon, Go Your Own Way, Landslide, Gypsy, and Gold Dust Woman, along with select Stevie Nicks solo favorites such as Edge of Seventeen and Stand Back. Twisted Gypsy has built a strong reputation across Southern California, performing at casinos, theaters, wineries, and major venues including Pala Casino, Old Town Temecula Community Theater, and the Bank of America Performing Arts Center. Praised for their chemistry, stacked harmonies, vintage‑inspired styling, and dynamic stage presence, they deliver a show that captures the heart, drama, and magic of Fleetwood Mac—earning acclaim such as Grammy‑winning producer Ken Caillat’s remark: “So good… the incarnate. Feels so much like them.”
