Celebrate the Eagles!
The original Eagles Band is perhaps one of the most popular iconic American rock bands ever, recognized for over 40 years of work, and admired by all generations from eight to eighty. This year the Eagles will be receive a Kennedy Center Honoree Award on December 9th for Lifetime Artist Achievements at the 38th Annual awards event in Washington DC.
South of Winslow, based in Prescott Arizona is a collection of six talented and seasoned musicians that perform Eagles music exclusively. After perfecting their sound for a long time, the band has been busy performing locally, and as far as Honolulu. They are often mistaken for the Real Eagles. While performing to a crowd of nearly 18,000 concert attendees, in Honolulu South of Winslow shared the same stage (different night) with the legendary rock groups Kenny Loggins, Steve Augeri of Journey and Mickey Thomas of Jefferson Starship.
Band member, Tim Glidden said the name of the band, South of Winslow, comes from the song “Take it Easy”, which has the town’s name in the first verse. He said it’s a play on words that was leveraged to their advantage, living so close to Winslow…. And South of it.
The band is made up of Yates on drums and vocals, Bruce Gustin on lead guitar and vocals, Marc Dimmer on rhythm guitar, Mark Myers on lead guitar and vocals, Tim Glidden on bass guitar and vocals and Vance Swope on lead vocals. This group has been together for about a year and a half, involved in hard practice.
“The Eagles, they’re tough to cover because of the vocals, the musicianship, they are perfectionists,” band member Bill Yates said, noting the toughness of getting instruments, parts and vocals right. “So we have to be. That’s what took the time.” Band member Yates said he enjoys performing Eagles music because of their musical variety. He said in counting the number of songwriters for the Eagles songs, South of Winslow plays, they came up with 15. “That’s why their music is so varied, because of all the songwriting influences,” Yates said. “Many folks have contributed to their styles.”
