Topper has it all
Supreme talent, youth, experience, vitality, strong visual presence and an amazing track record spanning decades as one of America’s premier touring/recording bands.
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 for Philadelphia International Records 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 five piece band, featuring franchise members, guitarist/vocalist, David Rodé and vocalist/keyboardist, Pete George, along with beautiful female vocalist, Miami and supreme young rhythm section, bassist/alto sax/vocalist, Nathaniel Payne and drummer/vocalist, Cody Spiva. The group is multi format, depending on the event,venue, clientele, etc.
Topper’s Dance/Variety/Party Music show utilizes a massive song list of all genres/decades of music, all performed true to form vocally & instrumentally with high energy and one on one crowd interaction. Topper’s vocals and musicianship are second to none!
The band’s Tribute Show, “Voices Of Rock & Soul!”, showcases short segments of rock & soul classics (Journey, U2, Foreigner, AC/DC, Bad Company, Rod Stewart, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Four Tops, and Wilson Pickett 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 & Soul! Topper-Voices Of Rock Live! “The Movie”, A Trey Miller Film, is available on DVD, along with the movie’s companion double live CD, Voices Of Rock Live! Both releases are available at online retailers, topperlive.com/merchandise and all live venues where the band appears.
Topper presents a concert of original rock material from their eighteen track compilation album, Only For The Money-Deluxe Edition, music videos and digital releases. Only For The Money has been distributed worldwide in both CD and digital downloads at all major music retailers, along with Topper’s other recordings and music videos.
