Ever since Carrie Underwood hit the stage on American Idol, she was an instant Cinderella story and America’s new sweetheart. CARNIVAL RIDE is the tribute to the remarkable CARRIE UNDERWOOD. Mindy Harris (“Carrie”) is an unbelievable talent from beginning to end and has a presence about her that screams star! Her vocals are dead-on and her backing band is a great line up of professionals with individual successes, including international performances and sharing the stage with other noted stars.
Mindy Harris was born and raised in the Valley of the Sun, Phoenix, Arizona. Mindy’s true passion has always been writing, singing and performing. And so the story goes.
Mindy leads her own band, The Mindy Harris Band, delivering high energy and attitude with current and classic country hits along with a sprinkle of southern rock. The decision to develop “Carnival Ride” was the result of the comments on her similar appearance to Carrie Underwood, but mostly to her ability to belt out the tunes. Mindy assembled the initial song list from Carrie’s past performances and then plunged headfirst into rehearsals. The band is meticulous about duplicating the songs note for note and makes it look effortless.
Carnival Ride, a tribute to Carrie Underwood starring Mindy Harris has since performed to sold out shows of Carrie Underwood fans and is currently available for Regional, National and International bookings, festivals, private parties and corporate events.
Hey Guys! We are a new band from Arizona willing to fulfill you everyday band needs! We take song suggestions for your gig, whether it be wedding, party, etc. We are young so if you're looking for someone young to play at your high schooler's sweet sixteen, we be your guys. We play the popular rock songs, if we didn't it would defeat the purpose of having covers. 😀 Most people know a good portion of the covers we play. We also play originals, but if you'd much rather have songs people know, we'll see what we can do. 😀 Prices vary lots, depending on how much in advance, location, if you want us to play requested song, how many, how long etc. Thanks for your time, TMIA
Singer Rick Lenzi has been impersonating Elvis Presley for 13 years now. His father introduced him to the King of Rock'N'Roll at the tender age of 2. From that point on he grew to love and admire The King's music. Rick first began singing Elvis's music in 1993, doing the early years. From then on he has grown to impersonate all of the eras of Elvis. He has won many contests throughout the United States. He has also been a pre-qualified finalist for the "Images of the King" contest in Memphis, TN. Several times. Rick has also appeared on many local and national television shows such as: Dick Clark's "Your Big Break" where he was a semi-finalist, Evening Magazine, Mornings on 2 and Chicago's WGN Mornings News. He has also appeared in "3000 Miles to Graceland" as an Elvis Impersonator. Rick takes his job as an Elvis Entertainer very seriously as he states in his own words" I am just trying to do the best impersonation I can to help keep the Elvis Presley legacy alive. Over the years he has become one of my musical idols and I just hope that I do him justice. No one will ever replace Elvis Presley but we can help keep his memory alive". Angelo Cappello, Rhythm Guitar: Being born on the east coast, less than 25 miles from N.Y.C. It was easy to become interested in music. Angelo started as a drummer in the early 60�S, and switched to guitar when the Beatles invaded America in 1964. He has been involved in many bands, DOO WOP, 50�S and 60�S COVER BANDS, JAZZ STANDARDS and COUNTRY, but his true love has always been the music of the LATE 50�S and 60�S ARTISTS LIKE HOLLY, ELVIS, AND THE BEATLE "Archie" Michael Aspinwall, Lead Guitar: Like Elvis, guitarist Archie Maxwell has hi roots in gospel music. He recorded his first album of original songs at the age of 18 and shortly thereafter began as lead guitarist with "New Life," a group he co-founded in Southern California. Seven years, three albums, and hundreds of West Coast performances later, Archie made the transition to Country music singing and playing lead for "Pony Express," a popular band on the L.A. club circuit. Then came the call that changed it all. As Archie tells it, "I got a call from a keyboard player who was working with an Elvis tribute singer. They needed a guitar player right away, and I thought to myself, 'hmm...an Elvis show' I don't know....' But I showed up for rehearsal, and halfway through the first song, I thought, 'Whoa, these guys are pretty good!' Turns out they were thinking the same thing about me." The band was Suspicious Minds, a group that became the West Coast's premiere Elvis tribute band, and spent fifteen years entertaining Elvis lovers throughout the Western states, as well as doing tours of Europe and Japan. Sky Stackus, Bass: He started getting involved in music in the Church Choir. He played the French horn and Tuba in high school and college. He was music major in college but it fell short when he was drafted.In the 70's and 80's he played the bass and the keyboard in various road bands through out Michigan, Indiana and Illinois.He played with one band in particular called "FUZE" a Southern Country Rock Band that featured a two set "Tribute to Elvis".His most recent indevers include playing in a classic rock band and with the Highway 51 Band a Phoenix Elvis Tribute Band. Chris Welker, Drums: Professional musician that played the trumpet at the university level, he won a battle of the bands contests drumming in the Phoenix area in the 60's and toured with groups across the US and Canada He to has played with one band in particular called "FUZE" a Southern Country Rock Band that featured a two set "Tribute to Elvis"His most recent indevers include playing in a classic rock band and with the Highway 51 Band a Phoenix Elvis Tribute Band. I've worked for American Superstars in Reno, Heroes of Rock N Roll in Las Vegas and Showstoppers Live in Arizona.
