What really stands out about this amazing tribute to Aerosmith, is that it sounds so authentic and has such a powerful energy onstage.

Nathan and Steve have been working together ever since and their long career together makes for the same intense and entertaining chemistry onstage that Steven Tyler and Joe Perry share! That chemistry along with Nathan’s uncanny resemblance to Steven Tyler’s voice and appearance, will transport you to the front of the stage at an Aerosmith show!!!
The band is rounded out by drummer Michael Foreman and Bassist Trent Horne who hooked up with the band through mutual acquaintances and friendships with Steve, Nathan and Troy. Having worked in and around the Atlanta music scene for many years and on stages all over the country, Michael and Trent bring the positive energy, talent and experience to complete this Aerosmith experience!
