THE RAILS EPIC, created to boldly go where other cover bands dare not, continue to aurally stimulate Australian East Coast audiences. EPIC’s primary purpose is… to play songs that other cover bands won’t. EPIC features the incredible talent of Jesse Balfour (vocals/bass), Alan Park (keyboards), Stuart Kent (vocals/guitar) and James Palmer (vocals/drums). All songs in the EPIC repertoire have been hits on a grand scale, and EPIC reproduces each song with accurate respect to the original, all critical parts represented with class and flair whilst still allowing the members’ personalities and musical influences to shine through. This is all delivered through state-of-the-art sound and lighting production at every venue. Prepare to embark on a journey back to the era when rock was truly EPIC! For an epic New Year’s Eve celebration, be at The Rails from 5.30pm for Majestic Knights followed by EPIC at 9.30pm until late.
