RPM - Rock & Pop Masters - Concert Review

Thursday March 13, 2008

What would you get if you put Orleans together with Rick Derringer (McCoys, Johnny Winter), Felix Cavaliere (Young Rascals), Alex Ligertwood (Santana), Jimi Jamison (Survivor) and Ronnie Hammond (Atlanta Rhythm Section) on the same stage at the same time? Dream band? Supergroup?

Well, for a lot of us, all of the above, but it's actually a very real group known as RPM (Rock and Pop Masters) who are helping keep classic rock alive by performing it regularly for audiences made up of three generations of appreciative fans.

RPM recently played Weston, Florida where our Jim Smith doubled as crew boss and gig reviewer.
