Don Gatlin, lead singer for Savannah jack and longtime friend of Kenny Rogers, has joined Kenny's original band to present a timeless song catalog while sharing the untold stories from his illustrious career. Kenny was a Grammy Award-winning superstar that entertained fans for 6 decades, selling over 120 million albums worldwide. He is one of the best-selling male artists of all time. THIS IS NOT A TRIBUTE BAND. IT IS KENNY'S ACTUAL TOURING BAND.
We’re really not a Tribute band, we ARE THE BAND…. who toured with Kenny Rogers for over 40 years, and more than 5000+ shows world-wide!
When thinking of what we are offering by putting together this show, it is so much more than your typical “tribute band” it is important to recognize the actual value of what we have to offer;
Our group and the tours that we have performed over these many years, represent decades of experiences and adventures that put us head and shoulders above just “some guys” who put together a Kenny Rogers sound-alike show.
What we are offering, is not only THE sound that backed Kenny over the years but in addition, we offer first-hand stories of being on the road with Kenny as well as a viewpoint of Kenny’s music that can’t be proffered by anyone else.
We give the audience an experience that they can’t get anywhere else. Presenting the songs of Kenny Rogers the way that he performed them, from the band who knew him best, from Carnegie Hall, to Albert Hall, from Sydney Opera House to the Grand Ole’ Opry as well as the thousands of cities from all over the world playing live, to well over 40 million fans in the 40+ years of touring with Kenny.
Of course, you will hear all of the mega-hits from Kenny’s legendary career, but also we will present other fan favorites that only occasionally made it into the normal tour song list.
In addition, we feature a section of the show, we call the “Kenny Speed Round” … where we ask the audience to call out their favorite song that they haven’t yet heard in the show that night, and since we’ve been Kenny’s band for so long… we know them all… and will do a portion of the song for the fans right then and there… this has been an “over the top” success and favorite portion of the show because the fans really feel a part of the performance… and of course it keeps us on our toes too!
The 2-hour+ show is a not to be forgotten, wonderfully unique glimpse into the touring world of Kenny Rogers, through an evening of the music and memories honoring Kenny and his Legendary Career!
