Binding humans together and uniting people of all levels of society is an aspiration of these musicians. Writing, performing and recording their songs on a fresh bed of 60s-70s style rock n’ roll with an ever-evolving eagerness to experiment, to expand minds and hearts with sonic fusion.

ROCKS OFF
Rolling Stones Tribute
Rocks Off is Chicago's premier and authentic Rolling Stones tribute, delivering the music, the look, and the attitude of the World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band! Whether it be a deep album cuts or your favorite live version, Rocks Off captures the riffs, the groves, and the blazing Mick Taylor solo's from their golden era of 1968-1973, a la Ladies and Gentlemen and the Brussels Affair. But let's not overlook the songs of the mid 60's that launched the Stones as rock and roll superstars; Rocks Off nails all your favorites from the Brian Jones and Ronnie Wood eras. If you want to see the next best thing to being there 40 years ago, come and see Rocks Off for yourself or hire them for your next event!

These venues include, The Rosemont Theater, The House of Blues, Navy Pier’s Landshark Beer Garden, The Genesee Theater, Fest for Beatles Fans Convention, and Abbey Road on The River (Largest Beatles Festival in the country in Louisville Kentucky). Collin has had the opportunity to perform at festivals and venues all over the Midwest with this Beatles Tribute Band as well as a performance on WGN TV Morning News and numerous radio performances, interviews, and newspaper features. While Collin still occasionally performs with this Beatles Tribute Band, he has shifted his focus to writing, recording, and performing his own music. Americana, Roots, and Pop/Rock are some genre’s Collin’s original music falls under. Collin is heavily inspired by artists such as The Beatles, Tom Petty, Chris Stapleton, Dr. Dog, Dan Auerback/The Black Keys, Big Star, Ben Kweller, Mike Viola, Alabama Shakes, Allen Stone, Kacey Musgraves, Margo Price, The Black Crowes, Wilco, Rayland Baxter, The Raconteur’s, The Wild Feathers, and The Redwalls just to name a few.
