Connie Early: Lead Vocals
Rock ‘n’Roll is in her blood! Born in Cleveland, Ohio into a family of singers, she sang before she ever spoke! Connie works with the best and stays active singing with other local bands. She brings an intense energy to the stage, re-creating the raw energy of Janis and then transforming into the incomparable Grace Slick! Her portrayals are genuine, so much so, that the audience often believes that they’ve seen two different performers.
Gerald Davis: Lead Vocals / Guitar / Harmonica
Originally from Petersburg, Virginia, Gerald spent the early part of his youth performing in local rock bands as an aspiring guitarist, heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix. While studying music at Virginia State University, he discovered he could sing as well, and earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees there in vocal performance. So, when the opportunity arose to finally perform as Jimi, Gerald was a perfect fit - paying tribute to Jimi as well as Sly Stone and other great artists. And yes, Gerald does play guitar with his teeth!
Ron Olsson: Lead Vocals / Guitar
Ron, who is from St. Paul, Minnesota, has had much success in Los Angeles as the leader of a variety of bands and with his own solo act. A very charismatic performer, his vocal and guitar-playing chops are top-notch and are the band’s foundation. His immense vocal versatility can be witnessed in his performances as Burton Cummings, John Phillips John Fogerty and John Kay.
Julie Dolan: Keyboards / Vocals / Harmonica
Hailing from the San Fernando Valley, Julie considers the music of the 60’s as her favorite. She’s received many accolades, and was recently awarded Best Female Keyboardist of the Year at All Access Magazine’s Music Awards. In addition to Age of Aquarius, Julie keeps busy working with two other tribute bands and her own all female cover band. And, if you think you recognize Julie’s beautiful face, you may have seen her in a recent commercial or television show.
David Abercrombie: Bass / Vocals
David grew up in Florida and somehow ended up in a commune in Arizona! After many years of playing bass 20 hours a day, he fell into the lap of this late 60’s tribute. He adds much flavor while singing the Lovin’ Spoonful’s hit song “Summer in the City.” David shows his true free spirit with his non-stop wit!

Tribute Show to the Late 60’s.
Forty years ago a musical revolution swept America! Sandwiched between the Monterey Pop Festival (1967) and Woodstock Festival (1969), the music of the time and the charisma of its most iconic artists– from Jimi Hendrix to Sly and the Family Stone to Janis Joplin to Grace Slick – still resonate today.
The Age of Aquarius is a unique, colorful and authentic tribute that captures the excitement of this magical era -- a six-member band that brings alive the spirit and signature hits of the late 60s. Whether performing for a concert in the park, street festival, casino or private event, audiences both large and small have enjoyed this journey back to an earlier era of change in our country! Through the media, which focused this past year on the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love and on the upcoming 40th anniversary of Woodstock, the 60’s has resurged into the mainstream and perhaps may be one reason that the band has sold out more than one venue prior to performing, based on the concept alone! The colorful costumes, fast-moving show and groovy on-stage banter invoke nostalgia in those who experienced the late 60s, and offer a sense of recognition for a younger generation just now discovering this great timeless music.
Complete with wardrobe changes, The Age of Aquarius re-creates dozens of well-known songs with full rock instrumentation (two guitars, bass, keyboards and drums) and rich vocal harmonies. The band’s repertoire includes classics from the great artists of the era including those by The Mamas & the Papas, Roy Orbison, Steppenwolf, The Moody Blues, The Guess Who and Joe Cocker, and offers up charismatic performances in the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, Sly Stone, John Fogerty and Arlo Guthrie.
