Misspent Youth: Reliving the Golden Age of Rock

Misspent Youth is more than just a classic rock cover band; it's a revival of the raw energy, emotion, and unforgettable anthems from rock's golden era. With a passion for the sounds of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, Misspent Youth brings audiences back to a time when rock music ruled the airwaves, capturing hearts and souls across generations.

The Journey Begins

Formed in 2023, the members of Misspent Youth came together through a shared love of the music that defined a generation. The band is made up of five seasoned musicians, each bringing their own unique talent and energy to the stage.

Allison: Lead vocals and keyboards – the soulful powerhouse and frontwoman of the group, whose voice can go from sultry to searing in an instant. With her talent on the keys, she adds a dynamic layer to tracks, balancing the grit and beauty of classic rock. Allison is currently misspending her youth by playing in a classic rock band with 4 old dudes.

Phil: Lead guitar – a virtuoso with a passion for iconic guitar solos. His fingers fly over the fretboard with ease, echoing the sounds of legends and delivering the riffs that make audiences feel the music in their bones. Phil misspent his youth by trying to make it big as a guitarist back in the day. While he did have some successes, he found that having a family and getting a degree might be more important to him. As such, he left his dreams behind, only to pick them back up again at an older age.

Ed: Rhythm guitar, keys, and vocals – the multi-talented rhythm guitarist keeps the groove grounded and adds depth with his own vocal harmonies. On keys, he creates a powerful melodic backdrop. Ed misspent his youth with bruises, scratches and broken legs from irresponsibly riding his motorcycle. He also decided to go to school for physics, so he could cause some damage to his brain as well.

Robert: Bass and vocals – holding down the low end with a rock-solid presence and lending his voice to the harmonies, he drives the rhythm and gives the songs their heartbeat, adding an irreplaceable dimension to Misspent Youth's sound. Robert misspent his youth by going to medical school. He spent endless hours studying only to then spend endless hours providing care to his patients. In between his long hours, he re-learned his love of music.

Paul: Drums – the rhythmic backbone of Misspent Youth, his timing and creativity keep the group tight. His drumming style ranges from thunderous and intense to subtle and groovy, capturing the essence of rock’s greatest eras.

A Bond Beyond the Music

Meeting by chance, the members of Misspent Youth quickly bonded over a mutual appreciation for classic rock's most iconic tracks. Their chemistry on stage reflects the genuine camaraderie off-stage, and their shared love for music has cemented a connection that comes through in every performance.
