Topper's longevity is unheard of in the music business.The band has been touring and recording for over thirty years, remaining as vital and exciting as they have been from the beginning of their incredible,long run. Originally formed in Atlanta, GA, as an eight piece horn driven funk/jazz/fusion recording project in the late seventies,Topper was poised to become a supergroup along the lines of Earth,Wind & Fire, The Commodores, KC & The Sunshine Band and Tower Of Power. When negotiations with record company management broke down,the group began playing live venues worldwide, continuing to write, record and release original music on their indie record label, Ring Records.
Currently a four piece band, the group can present four different formats, depending on the event,venue,clientele,etc. Topper's Dance / Variety / Party Music format utilizes a massive song list of all genres/decades of music, all performed true to form with high energy, one on one crowd interaction. Topper's vocals, stage presence and musicianship are second to none!
The band's Classic Rock Tribute Show, Voices Of Rock, showcases short sets of over ten Classic Rock supergroups. (Journey, U2, Foreigner, AC/DC, Bad Company, Rod Stewart, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana and Jimi Hendrix, to name a few!) Vocalist Pete George's uncanny ability to nail the characteristics of virtually any legendary singer has to be heard and seen to believe, hence the name 'Voices Of Rock!
Topper can present a concert of all original Rock material from their eighteen track compilation album, Only For The Money-Deluxe Edition. The album has been distributed worldwide in both CD and digital downloads at all major music retailers.
Topper's music has received airplay on FM and internet radio stations for over fifteen years.
Bassist/Vocalist Joey Hill has recently released an R&B / Soul / Blues / Funk project titled, Right Stuff!, to rave reviews and consistent sales, everywhere the group performs.Joey has been writing and recording his original Gospel and R&B material for over twenty years. He is a wonderful singer/song writer and multi instrumentalist.
Topper can present an R&B presentation featuring Joey's material, along with
like minded R&B, Blues, Soul and Funk classics.
In short, there has never been a band with the talent, scope, versatility, longevity
and most of all, positive energy and confidence, as Topper. This legendary band is unstoppable!

The Voice of 'Voices'
is Pete George. His ability to nail the singing styles of
vocalists from Steve Perry of Journey to the young Rod Stewart
is phenomenal. Called "The Man of 1000 Voices", he sounds
like these Rock titans in their glory. Indeed, the show relies
on faithful renditions of these classics, and not cheesy
wig and makeup-fueled mimicry.
The band looks like rockers
because they are, not because they are costumed and coiffed.
And the sound is real, with no gimmicks, sequencing or prerecorded
production. The musicians are members of Topper, a veteran
band with over 20 years experience touring and recording.
The show includes original material from their CD compilation "Only
For the Money/Deluxe Edition", that fits in seamlessly with
the covers in the show. These guys are a band very much like
the groups featured in the show. Topper, a working band with
a large US and European fan base, has collaborated to present "Voices
Of Rock".
The promo DVD is recorded
live in real time, with no overdubbing or studio enhancement.
Shot in a single take at Kerrigan's, one of the Southeast's
premiere live venues, it is a true reflection of the excitement
of the show. What you see in the promo is what you get: the
raw thrill of real Rock, performed live with passion by pros
who care.
