The Classic Rock All-Stars

The Classic Rock All-Stars is a musical group that formed in 1990, composed of several prominent musicians who were part of some of the most iconic bands of the classic rock era. The group was formed with the aim of performing the classic hits of the era for audiences around the world.

The original lineup of the Classic Rock All-Stars included musicians such as Goldy McJohn (Steppenwolf), Jerry Corbetta (Sugarloaf), Mike Pinera (Blues Image and Iron Butterfly), Dennis Noda (Cannibal and the Headhunters) and Peter Rivera, the drummer and lead vocalist for Rare Earth. These musicians had been part of some of the most popular and successful bands of the 60s and 70s, and they brought their vast experience and talent to the Classic Rock All-Stars.

Some of the other musicians who have played with the Classic Rock All-Stars include Spencer Davis of the Spencer Davis Group, Larry Hoppen of Orleans, Dennis Noda of Cannibal & the Headhunters, and Peter Beckett of Player. The band has also featured guest appearances from other notable musicians such as Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad and Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac.

The Classic Rock All-Stars have toured extensively over the years, playing at festivals, theaters, and other venues around the world. They have also released several albums, including "Gold," "A Classic Rock Christmas," and "Live at the Ritz."

The Classic Rock All-Stars continue to be a popular draw for classic rock fans who want to hear the songs of their youth performed by some of the most talented musicians of the era.

Supergroup formed from founding members of Blues Image, Rare Earth, Sugarloaf, and Cannibal and the Headhunters.  These guys really rock and put on a great live show...Mike Pinera still plays guitar like a Million $$$ and Pete Rivera and Jerry Corbetta still sing and play just like you remember 30 years ago...and you'd be hard pressed to find a better bass player than Dennis Noda.  If you get a chance to catch them in concert, don't miss the opportunity.  They're a real tight band, and are doing a great job to keep their music alive. -GSH
