Billed as “Rock and Soul for your Heart”, LIVIN's style is best described as upbeat jam rock with extra funk, a little blues, and some classic rock, alternative and a lot of improvisation mixed in.

Proven with advanced DNA-testing, lead singer Teddy Ames is the love child of Sly Stone, Mick Jagger and Eddie Vedder!

Teddy and Dave Stann (Guitar) formed LIVIN while on European Tour with The Rolling Bones, the infamous NY based Rolling Stones Tribute band, seen on the Oprah Winfrey show and heard on the Don Imus show. On drums is Fernando Menendez, best known for recording an album on Slash/Warner Bros. Records and touring the world with Gordon Gano of the Violent Femmes. Top session player Chuck Bernklau completes our lineup on Bass.

Our intention is to improve the quality of life on Earth by sharing our talents for creating and performing music. We support you in sharing your special gifts. Thank you for the opportunity to play for you!
