About Strange Crew
Strange Crew is an Eric Clapton tribute band with a twist. As long as Clapton played a song at least once the 8-piece Strange Crew might cover it. This opens up a huge catalog of classic rock, blues, and jam options. Strange Crew is a very dynamic band having 4 different lead singers and 5 lead soloists! Band member Cobby Brzeski’s solo album was nominated this year at the San Diego Music Awards for the best jazz album of the year. This will be a very special night.
Strange Crew is: Bahar Shahidi – Guitar & Vocals, Bobbi The Bass Player, Jeff Parker – Guitar & Vocals, Cobby Brzeski – Flute & Vocals, Jeremy Mercer – Drums, Chris Cahoon – Keys, Neville Billimoria – Percussion, Phil Tish – Guitar & Vocals
Stay in tune and thanks this week go to Jeff B, and all my band mates in Drivin the Bus and Strange Crew for making my heart sing and making audiences happy!
Please play it forward…
Love,
Neville

“Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other,
because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul,
on which they mightily fasten, imparting grace, and making the soul of him who is rightly educated graceful”
– Socrates
