Band Members The Decades
InfluencesThe Decades are influenced by many of the great songs of the 6os. We play music that's catchy, memorable and a crowd favorite. Although we specialize in performing oldies Rock & Roll, Soul, Motown and R&B, the band member's listening tastes are broad and varied. We grew up listening to the hit songs being played on the radio, at concerts and bars in the area. Our song-list includes crowd favorites and standards from Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Everly Brothers, Van Morrison, The Animals, Mitch Ryder, Roy Orbison, The Drifters, Bob Seger, Every Mother's Son, Elvis Presley, The Kinks, Tommy James and the Shondells, Chicago and many other musical groups from the era. We strive for a polished sound, tight vocal harmonies and to have a great time!

   About The Decades
Rob Huston is the lead guitarist for The Decades. He’s been playing guitar since his teen’s. Rob was a studio musician while living in Los Angeles California, in the 1970’s. He also became the featured guitarist in the traveling, hit musical, Jesus Christ Superstar. Mike Burden is the bands rhythm guitarist. Like Rob, Mike is one of the ‘original’ Decades members. Mike and Rob formed this earlier version of the band in 1967. They played after-school dances, proms, and parties throughout their teens. It was Mike’s idea to form the new band. He now enjoys playing the classic songs of his formative years with the Decades. Mike McKinney sets the pace for the band. As the drummer and lead singer, Mike has his hands full during the course of a night. He handles his musical duties with professionalism and rhythmic skill. Mike has been involved in numerous musical endeavors over the past three decades and continues to play today.
