Cross Town is an L.A. Blues/Rock power Trio with a Memphis Soul feel and a Spiritual 'POINT OF VIEW'
Comprised of 3 life-long friends; Bob Herder on Drums, John Perry on Bass and Dave Van Kleeck on Vocals & Guitar, Cross Town has played together in various formats under a few names over the years, while keeping ONe thing constant: their passionate love of music and performing!
Based in Glendale, Arizona and Los Angeles, California, Cross Town is currently recording their debut Full Length Album, 'POINT OF VIEW', with Davey Pattison of GAMMA and ROBIN TROWER fame as well as 2 very successful Solo Albums; 'MISSISSIPPI NIGHTS' and 'PICTURES', both available from Davey's Website at http://www.daveypattison.com
With Davey at the helm fronting the band and leading the songs as they SHOULD be sung, Cross Town just may have a chance at getting heard outside of Southwest U.S.A. and possibly on a CD Support Tour! We'll keep you posted.
In the meanwhile, here is a Photo Gallery for your amusement!
