SIX musicians came together just before COVID with the idea of creating a Creedence Clearwater Revival tribute show, which will make its first visit to Swan Hill in April.
The band has toured extensively around Australia and New Zealand, playing venues with up to two thousand seats.
They are looking forward to coming to Swan Hill, a destination they have not played in the past, having heard rave reviews about the venue and the audiences from other artists that have played in town.
Band front man Tim Carter said that the beauty of Creedence music is that it is just good fun.
“In a world that has too much politics and too much this and too much that, everyone is offended by everything, so it is just great to forget that for a couple of hours and howl at the moon,” Mr Carter said.
“We just have fun and we just tell people to film us all night and have fun, just lose yourself for about two hours.
“There is no history lesson, there is no politics, there is no nothing, it’s just have some fun and sing along.
“The songs are all so much fun you can’t help dance along and sing along to them.
“Everyone has so much fun, we get the crowd to sing a long, clap and join in with us.
“We are six members, but I always like to joke that if there are 800 people in the crowd that the band is now 806 members.”
The group considers themselves a tribute act not an impersonator group.
They don’t dress up, put on wigs, put on fake accents or give a rundown on the history of each song.
Mr Carter said that the group is what could best be described as holding a Creedence party.
“We are just the host, we are fans that are enjoying it as well,” Mr Carter added.
“There is a difference between impersonator bands and tribute bands, we don’t do an impersonation of CCR we pay tribute to them.”
