The Hard Rock Fossils are a juggernaut of straight ahead classic 70's hard rock and roll. With the deftness of an alchemist, they craft their setlist as not to contain the same boring retreads that every other classic rock band seem to roll out. Shall they dare go beyond the commonplace, indeed they will. Tastefully finding nuggets from Bad Co, Trower, Nugent, Travers, Montrose, Rush, Tull, Cooper, Bowie, Zeppelin, Kiss and more. You are destined to leave their show with a smile on your face mentioning how good it was to hear the songs that you have not heard in a while. Like moths to a flame, you will be drawn into our sonic circus. The Hard Rock Fossils have been cranking out the jams since 2013 as a band after present members having years in the music scene decided to seek each other out to gel into the rock n roll express we have today.
THE GIGS: The band loves rocking it's outdoor gigs such as the Illinois State Fair, Naperville Ribest, Chicago Bunny Rock but also equally loves the area hot spots they have performed such as Penny Road Pub, Star Bar, Q Bar, Mangy Dawg Pub, The Tree of Joliet, Chicago Loop Sports Bar and many others. The band has also enjoyed playing at various charity events and is quickly willing to jump at the chance for the next opportunity.
THE DRAW: Sure, the band is a classic hard rock band on the heap of a Mt. Everest of other classic rock bands, so we like to 'tweak' our setlist to differentiate. Adding in classics by Montrose, Alice Cooper, Robin Trower, Jethro Tull, Rick Derringer that everyone knows but nobody seems to play. This is born out in the audience reception of the songs enjoyed and compliments received. "Hey, I love that song, haven't heard it in such a long time", yep, we like that!
