Modern Country & Classic Rock
| Gigs | |
Route 66 is a newly formed band which kicked off the first
gig at the South Tweed Bowls Club at the beginning of 2004 with comments like
"how tight the band and vocal harmony sounds". The band is known as a country
rock band with a flavour from the 50s---2004 rock to modern up tempo country
music and a touch of rockabilly. The band has introduced good up tempo country
music into their repertoire as the rock n roll clubs have found out that country
music has a great beat for the dancers.
So far the band has performed at most major clubs such as Maroochydore RSL,
Southport RSL, Southport Sharks, Southport Workers Club, Toowoomba City Golf
Club, Caloundra RSL Club, Ballina Bowls Club and Seagulls as "Country 66"with a
full night of country music.

vocals.
