Elsinore prides itself on not being a band to sit idly by and hope for things to happen, the band puts every bit of effort into being an active participant in its own fate and level of success.
REO Speedwagon– This was the first local band to really make it big in the music world. Formed in 1967, they eventually sold more than 40 million records. After many changes in the lineup, the band signed a record deal with Epic Records in 1971 and the first album was recorded. Their 1980 album, Hi Infidelity, generated a number one hit for the band. The album itself spent 65 weeks on the record charts 32 of which were in the top ten and sold over 10 million copies. Find more at www.speedwagon.com.
