In episode 176 of the Guitar Music Theory podcast, I talk with the founders of America's number one

Huey Lewis tribute band about what it takes to run a pro-level live act. Greetings, guitar engineers. Welcome to the guitar music theory podcast. I'm your host,

Desi Cerna, author of fretboard theory and guitar theory for dummies. This is the podcast

that helps you learn guitar while you're on the go, so you

can understand the fretboard and become a better player. I discuss various topics. Today, in episode

176, I'm joined by lead singer Roger Langdon and his brother Tony, the founders of the Heart of

Rock and Roll, a Huey Lewis in the News tribute band that started

in Southern California over a decade ago. We talk about how the band got started, what goes

into creating an authentic tribute act, how they recruit and prepare musicians, and what it takes

to deliver a polished professional show. You'll also hear gig stories and get practical advice

for musicians looking to play live or build their own act. And if you're in the area, come see us

live. I'll be performing with the Heart of Rock and Roll on Saturday, August 30th at the Fulton

County Fair in Wausian, Ohio. The show is at 7.30 p.m. on the South Stage and is free with fair admission.

guitar player?
