50 YEARS OF ROCK N ROLL

It was the 1970s and rock n roll was exploding. Bands like REO Speedwagon, Kansas and Queen performed in the small river town of La Crosse, Wisconsin rocking the cement walls of the Mary E Sawyer auditorium. There was no reserved seating, only a mad dash to the front of the stage when the doors opened. Mesmerized by rockstars under the lights with stacked amplifiers, Les Paul guitars and long hair, PHOENIX was imagined. Three young high school students, Dan Sebranek, Dave Buroker and Dave Solie  started rehearsing in their parent's basements for a high school variety show.  Shortly after Norbert Nix joined the band and many gigs ensued at high schools, bars and festivals.   The band stuck it out through life's journey of careers and families and always found time to reunite and continue their rock n roll pilgrimage.  Their musical relationship continues to this day.  

Their single, "Rock n Roll Mood" was written in 1978 and recently re-mastered and available everywhere you find digital music.  

Many legendary bands have come and gone, but PHOENIX continues to soar.

All hail rock n roll.
