Cover band pays tribute to the classic Eagles lineup
For the majority of the year, George Dickinson is able to combine his two loves — traveling and performing music. For 20 years, he’s been a part of “Hotel California: A Salute to the Eagles.”
“When I came on board 20 years ago, the group was taking off as a full-time venture,” he says during a recent interview from his California home. “The popularity is still growing, and I’m fortunate to be a part of it.”
“Hotel California: Salute to the Eagles” in 1982.
The band faithfully and accurately reproduces the sound of the Eagles studio recordings while recreating a classic sound which undeniably transcends the boundaries of rock, R&B and country while delivering a modern, action-packed performance that brings this timeless music into the new millennium.
Dickinson says the band is made up of five respected, multitalented top musicians, who all have a love for the Eagles.
“The band’s songs are classics because of the great songwriting,” he says. “You don’t hear that type of songwriting in music these days.”
The group performs 150 to 200 high-profile events every year, including special corporate functions, charity benefits, fundraisers, outdoor concerts, festivals, and fairs, playing main stages receiving top billing as a national act, as well as opening for some of the most prominent names in the entertainment industry.
Each concert presents an exciting showcase of The Eagles mega-hits such as “Take it Easy,” “Heartache Tonight” and “Hotel California” as well as newer releases “Get Over It” and “Love will Keep Us Alive.”
The group also performs select titles from the solo works of Don Henley, Glen Frey, and Joe Walsh.
