Kamellot with Misty Mountain
Kamellot
Kamellot is fast becoming one of the premier tribute bands gracing stages in and around Long Island as they offer a powerful take on classic rock and blue standards to energetic and enraptured audiences.
The band started in 2012 when percussionist Dr. G and lead guitarist Elliot Negrin met on the local scene in search of a particular sound. Bonding over a mutual love of rock, rhythm and blues, and a desire to bring positive vibes, they began looking for the right mix. As the band developed it became quickly apparent that a powerful force was emerging producing a tight sound and exceptional energy.
The band grew with the addition of lead singer Ed Terry and sax man Wayne Wofford. Their powerful soul-infused sound added layers to an already deep musical voice. The finished product including Stu Waters on keys, Shawn Murray on drums, Krista Marie on vocals and Alan Levy on bass produce rocking renditions of timeless hits. Certain performances are dedicated to electric Led Zeppelin covers.
Although Kamellot presently enjoys success on the local Long Island scene rocking places such as Salt, The Savoy, Tropix and major festivals for the Town of North Hempstead, the band’s missions include expanded touring throughout the New York area. 2017 looks to be a year where Kamellot will bring their unique sound and high-energy performances to multiple clubs and festivals.
Misty Mountain Bio
A new band, Misty Mountain, has emerged on the scene as a rocking tribute band blasting the songs of Led Zeppelin across Long Island. With guitar licks reminiscent of Jimmy Page and howling vocals that bring back memories of Robert Plant, the band transports audiences back to the days of power rock and roll.
The band started to come together in 2012 when lead guitarist Elliot Negrin and lead singer Ed Terry met on the local scene performing together in different projects. Both had a long love affair with the Led Zeppelin sound and started to put together a band ready to pay tribute to the rock legends. As the pair started to explore possibilities, they realized a seed had sprung and a group was needed to blast the power of Led Zeppelin’s music.
The band was complete with the addition of Shawn Murray on drums and Alan Levy on bass. The four accomplished musicians of Misty Mountain started blending and developed a sound eerily similar to Led Zeppelin’s performances.
The members of Misty Mountain have presented their tribute performances in local locations including Salt, The Savoy, Tropix and major festivals for municipalities on the Island. The band’s mission for the upcoming year includes expanded touring throughout the New York area and bringing the energy and sound of Led Zeppelin to multiple venues.
