Bio

The history of Rockbox goes back to 2001 in New Orleans, where a band was assembled to become one of Bourbon Street's hottest night clubs' "house band." The club was called The Big Bad Wolf and the band was to play the classic rock of the 70's, the Hair Metal and Retro of the 80's, the Grunge and Alternative of the 90's, on to the new music of today. Some of the best talent in the city auditioned for the chance to be a part of history, something special, a rock and roll cover band like no other. To be a professional cover band, not just some garage act you see on the weekends at the local watering hole. No! This was much bigger and better. A thirty-foot drum riser, the best light show, pro audio, a killer song list, and the hottest shot-girls in New Orleans. Simply, a winning recipe. Well, that band has now toured the states, opened for major acts, and has remained a staple on Bourbon Street for the last six years. The faces and names have changed over time, but it's the true talent that shines. You have to see it/hear it to believe it. The talent is what sets them apart from any other cover/tribute band. Go ahead, request a song, try to stump them, Rockbox prides themselves on being able to play all/most of your requests and to play them correctly, just like the original artist intended it to sound. From Carry On Wayward Son, to Come Sail Away, to Foreplay/Long Time, the band is as technical as the songs themselves. So, go ahead, request something. Rockbox delivers!
