Box of Rocks

Artist Information

Biography

"The Best In Acoustic Rock & Beyond!"

A band that plays all kinds of songs, all kinds of genres, from all kinds of eras sure sounds original. And with a line-up that combines acoustic guitars, sweet harmonies, bass, and percusssion to propel the music in a truly unique fashion many would agree. The thing that really makes "Box of Rocks" original though is the true enthusiasm with which they perform. On stage "BOR" (as their fans call them) share a commitment to having fun with every note they play... and it's this contageous devotion that has made them one of South Florida's hottest bar bands in recent years.

Maybe its their "focus on fun", maybe its their promise never to deliver a dull set list, or maybe its Box of Rocks call for fans to join them in one of their legendary "social drinks!" Whatever it is... Box of Rocks has earned a reputation for being THE band to call when a "typical cover band" will not do and you need a special acoustic oriented but rocking group of guys to make a private party one to remember or to fill a bar with happy cheering patrons. Original? You bet! Fun? For Sure! Whatever it is.. there is a reason those who have expereinced a Box of Rocks show have called them.. "The Best In Acoustic Rock..and Beyond!"

  I can't thank you enough for the Box of Rocks performance Saturday night. I tell ya, I got so many calls yesterday saying how great you guys are. I couldn't agree with you more. I wish I wasn't so frantic that night so I could have sat back and enjoyed the music completely. Well, I'll just have to wait to get back on your mailing list so I can see your next public performance.
  
  I hope you guys had a good time too. Again, I so appreciated it - you guys made the night perfect!
  
  
  Stay well and again, thanks soooo much.
  
  Box of Rocks RULES!
