With their roots firmly planted in early rock and roll and R&B, the members of The Classics were all part of the busy teen and nightclub scene, entertaining Canadian audiences as early as 1959. 
Prior to getting together, band members honed their talents with other well-known groups. A partial list includes: Any Wonder, Back Street Players, Better Days, Big Shot, Cold Feet, Colored Rain, Countdown, The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, The Embers, Fatback, Hidden Agenda, Hub Cigar Store, The Knights, The Lords, The Morning After, The Nomads (1964-1968), The Nomads (1989-2006), The Ookpiks, The Original Cast, Privilege, The Satellites, The Saratogas, Sea Breeze, The Sons of Adam, The Tommy Banks Orchestra and the Trocadero Big Band. Today, after close to fifty years, the fire is still there and the musicianship has only gotten better. The material these gentlemen play is rock and roll and rhythm and blues, and they make the energy roll off today’s stages just like it did in the clubs, the school gymnasiums and the beach halls when rock and roll was new. |
