Straight On - Heart Tribute Band

The Straight On Story....

Straight On is the dream child of the talented vocalist Monique Orban. She has spent years persistently & patiently searching for the right musicians to successfully recreate the music of the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Heart.

In 2006, a talented guitarist Kevin Bennett answered Moniques ad in a local music store looking to form a Heart Tribute Band. The classic musical bond of singer & guitarist was immediately formed but it proved to be a difficult challenge to find the right mix of people for the project. They continued to work together in several different classic rock bands but they always had the long term goal to perform together in a Heart tribute band. Eventually, circumstances forced the duo to split up.

Fast forward to 2012: It was still Moniques dream to form a Heart tribute band when she met Scott Summers, a talented guitarist/keyboardist with a lot of performance
experience & a large network of musicians. After several months searching for the right mix of people to back up Moniques amazing voice Scott & Kevin were introduced & they instantly become friends. It was also obvious that Scott should move to keyboards so Kevin could rejoin the band as the lead guitarist

Now Straight On needed someone to do the challenging role of Nancy Wilson which requires a woman with a great voice & skill on both guitar and piano. The exceptionally
talented Lori Davis answered the call & the nucleus of the band, fronted with two talented women, was formed. Add in two more incredibly talented musicians, Jerry Olinger (bass)
& Drew Sodee (drums), and Monique finally has the band she needs to faithfully bring the music and spirit of Heart to audiences everywhere.
