Our Story

The Back Pages, the San Francisco Bay Area’s Tribute to the 60's rock and roll band, authentically recreates the positive sound, image and spirit of 60's rock and roll. Audiences will recognize the songs and will be “feelin’ groovy” making any event or night out at a club a memorable experience for years to come.

Since forming in 1988, The Back Pages continue to play the music that influenced their youth with

the same intensity, feeling and authenticity that drove kids wild in the mid 60's. It’s the real thing!

All band members grew up listening to northern California top 40 and FM underground radio throughout the 60's and 70's. Although they grew up in different communities, their stories are the same. As teenagers they acquired instruments before they could even play them. They eventually started garage bands, playing the classic rock and roll nuggets of the 60's such as Gloria, Wild Thing and Louie Louie.

 

Since they were kids they’ve spent their extracurricular time learning rock and roll songs of the era: British Invasion, American Pop Rock, Psychedelic, Surf, and Folk Rock, and even today they are still dedicated to the sound of the 60's.
