PIPEDREAM is a band that literally began out of dream to put together the best musicians around, have a heck of a lot fun, and play the best dawg-gone music out there. Luckily, we've been able to succeed at all that, but we've really excelled at having fun. It's very common to find many audience members up on stage with us singing, playing one of the many percussion instruments we tote along with our gear, and of course simply hogging the microphone (sometimes demonstrating to all of us just how many beverages they've had). ;-) Sometimes we'll even let other musicians sit in with us. Regardless, it's a given your feet will hurt from dancing before we get to our last set. You'll also find our insane lead singer, Jack, spends a lot of time out in the crowd getting anyone who wants be -- and some shy ones that don't -- involved in the fun.
There's been some line up changes since the beginning, but PIPEDREAM remains a unique band for many reasons. The one that seems to stand out is the ages of the member's ranges from 38 to 59, and subsequently so does the selection of music. PIPEDREAM has been labeled by the newspapers as a "Classic Rock-N-Roll and R&B band," but we're really much more than that. PIPEDREAM is one of the most well rounded, versatile, flexible bands around. PIPEDREAM plays classics from the '50's to current day hits. From Wilson Pickett, Ritchie Valens and Chuck Berry, to Matchbox 20, Creed and Lit, including Garth Brooks, Dwight Yoakum and Vince Gill, our mix of music pleases audiences of all ages. We're also pleased to say that our current line up is the most talented and diverse ever.
But don't take our word for it -- need references? Just let us know. Our favorite comes from our "booking coordinator" at the Whispering "Hills" Estates community -- these folks really know have to fun:
"Hey these guys are great!... I saw them play at Fitz Fest II and III and then asked them to play our Block party ... Whispering "Hills" Estates Block Party... We had an awesome time. Some of our neighbors (who will remain nameless (Susan + Co.) even joined in and sang some with the band...
I can definitely say these guys are super!... I hope they can come back this summer!" (-- name with held to protect the guilty)
And that's mainly how we get our get our gigs -- seen and heard, word of mouth, etc. But don't despair, PIPEDREAM is available for other select private parties, festivals and bar appearances in the local MIlwaukee area.
