Skyrocket is among the most creative cover bands ever to emerge from Austin, Texas. An organic mash-up of successful musicians, visual artists, and actors, Skyrocket is an irresistible tribute to the very best of the vinyl era.
Skyrocket’s witty and fearless attitude began when a group of friends, all veterans from Austin’s indie-rock, alternative, and songwriter scenes, discovered their shared craze for the days of anthem hits and one-hit wonders. From there on, Skyrocket spread its wings to include all the AM and FM singles they loved growing up. With each band member proficient in many instruments, the group boldly tackled unique, underrepresented material, performing such selections to frightening levels of accuracy.
The members of Skyrocket bring years of touring, recording, and event programming experience to the stage; yet they approach all performances with an uncontrived spirit of energetic fun. Fans embrace Skyrocket with the same fervor as they do their favorite original artists.
