"…a
journey back to the late 1960s with colorful costumes and groovy sounds.
The crowd was thrilled to see both Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin on
the same stage!...received numerous compliments about the show and
the energetic performance that was given by the band. Kudos to you!"

Connie
Early: Lead Vocals - Connie hails from Cleveland,
Ohio, the home of Rock n' Roll, where she was born into
a musical family. Her mother and aunts were well-known
in Cleveland as The Anderson Sisters, a three-part harmony
trio. Connie has since carried the family torch, lending
her vocals to various musical projects, which currently
also include performing as member of the Ojai Mardi Gras
Band and the house band at the historical Skyroom dinner
club in Long Beach. Connie has performed live with renowned
composer/conductor John Williams, and done session work
for Warner Bros. and Saban Entertainment (Mighty Morphin
Power Rangers). As lead female vocalist for AQUARIUS,
she brings an intense energy to the stage, re-creating
the raw energy of Janis and then transforming into the
incomparable Grace Slick! Her portrayals are genuine,
so much so, that the audience often believes that they've
seen two different performers! |
