JERSEY JAM: SOUTHERN STEEL: A Tribute to Southern Rock

   Chris Jordan • Staff Writer for The Courier News/Home Tribune wrote this about The SOUTHERN STEEL Band:

 "It's a pretty impressive thing when the Keyport-based Southern Steel gets its motor running.Twin lead guitars, a chugging rhythm section and plenty of Southern attitude — even if they are from Jersey — makes for a 

full-on Southern rock experience. Into the Allmans, Skynyrd, Outlaws, 38 Special and Marshall Tucker? Then check these boys out...".

      "We're just the players...YOU ARE THE SHOW" 

              Hughie Thomasson [1952-2007] 

The SOUTHERN STEEL BAND is a balls-to-the-walls hell-raisin' tribute to southern rock and roll. Armed with a distinctively southern swagger and a 3-guitar attack, hot keyboard licks, driving rhythm section, powerful lead vocals, and strong vocal harmonies SOUTHERN STEEL pays homage to all of the southern-rock legends including The Outlaws, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, Molly Hatchet, 38 Special, Charlie Daniels, Blackfoot, Marshall Tucker, and ZZ Top by performing faithfully dead-on renditions of classic southern-rock favorites like Flirtin' With Disaster, Can't You See, Simple Man, Green Grass And High Tides, Melissa, That Smell, There Goes Another Love Song, Take The Highway, Highway Song, and more. The SOUTHERN STEEL Band has shared billing with such international acts as The Outlaws, Molly Hatchet, The Marshall Tucker Band, Blackfoot, Leslie West & Mountain, Foghat, and Dickey Betts & Great Southern.

The SOUTHERN STEEL BAND is: 

 Dave Sorber: Guitar/Vocals 

 Kevin Rose: Guitar/Vocals 

 Tom Tibaldi: Keys/Guitar/Vocals
