This was such a special tribute for NASHA, to pay homage to these amazing ICONIC bands from the 60's & 70's. Swamp Rock meets Country Rock. Some of us grew up in this era and for some in the team, it was a completely NEW experience, learning this material. We had 10 weeks, post our 2nd Lockdown, but despite some hiccups, we managed to pull this through, for all our friends and supporters. It wasn't a sell out...however, it was a room full of enthusiastic CCR/THE Eagles fans, who joined the band in singing along and dancing, from Song 1 till we finished! Thanks all...it was a celebration for us all!

COMMENTS & COMPLIMENTS
GARY CLARK: When I was told by Mike about this show, I didn't know what to expect. As a recording engineer of the 1960-1990's who has recorded. bands, Jazz groups and Orchestras, I feel I can professionally comment. What a fantastic show you put on. So professional in every way. Great back screen song titles for the songs. The solo vocalists left nothing spare and nailed it, as did those in support with backing vocals. The use of a second drummer percussionist was perfect in supporting the excellent drummer with appropriate content. The bass and the guitarists worked so well together and I was literally electrified when it came to "Hotel California" with the duelling guitars.The keyboard player supported the band well. The sound mix guy did a pretty good job considering the one night concert show. The use of the dancers, truly inspiring.
Finally I would say is, not many bands could put a show on like this and play 40 songs for a 3 hour show. You may know of the mistakes made but all we heard was the freshness and vibrance of the performance from the stage.
I felt sorry you didn't get a full house. One consolation is that you will have many converts to the shows you put on going forward.
Credit to you Mark and the team NASHA.
SHARON DIGGES: Mark, it was a great show, we enjoyed every minute of it. Went way too fast, but as they say, time flies when you are having fun.
CHARMAINE MATTA: What a wonderful evening. You guys just get better with every show. Thank you. Our wishes for “total sell out”next time. God Bless you all for all the efforts and a fun evening.
KAIZAD KARKARIA: Hey Mark.. what an absoulute wonderful evening we had yesterday DIL SE A big Thanks... My friends loved it and have asked me to convey their Thanks.. and they will definitely spread the word around about NASHA... Everything was perfect.. And my oh my didn't the singers nail it.. to sound and sing like John Fogerty ain't no easy task.. On A lighter note would it be ok if I said that this was even better than the Beatles tribute..( which BTW was an unforgettable experience too)... Looking forward to many more amazing tribute shows. Thanks once Again.
