Vocal Impressionist/Tribute Artist Greg Bechtel along with Guitarist Mike
McDonald Present “The Troubadour Road”, a Musical Tribute to the Great
Singer-Songwriters of the 1970’s.

Perhaps no decade has given the world more great songs than the 1970s – and
never before or since have so many great songwriters become major performing
artists – performing the songs they crafted. This special period is often referred to
as the height of the SINGER-SONGWRITER – and “The Troubadour Road”
pays tribute to the biggest names of this period in this intimate performance.

Greg and Mike take you on a nostalgia trip back to that extraordinary period in
music history that many consider the Golden Age of the Singer-Songwriter. Much
more than a tribute band, Greg’s skillful singing impressions along with Mike’s
talents on acoustic guitar recreate the vocal stylings of over 20 legendary artists
in one show. Relive the memories as they share the unique stories behind the
hits. Plus, with Greg’s vocal repertoire of over 200 voices, don’t be surprised if
some celebrities show up to intro these talented troubadours.

Greg and Mike salute the genius of James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Neil Young,
Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, Neil Diamond, The Eagles, David Gates and
Many More- all phenomenal tunesmiths and equally amazing performers – artists
who captivated the world with their poignant lyrics and unforgettable melodies.

A partial listing of featured songs includes “Fire and Rain”, “Wild World”,
“Carefree Highway”, “Don’t Mess Around With Jim”, “Heart of Gold”,
“Solitary Man”, “Make It With You”, and “Tequila Sunrise”.

Mrs. Jones Revenge is one of Southern California’s premier tribute/cover bands, specializing in classic Top 40 hits, classic rock, and dance music from the early 1960s to the late 1980s. We’re centrally located in Temecula.

So, what makes us so unique? Cover bands typically sound like the same band covering different artists. Tribute bands sound like the same band emulating one artist really well.

Our vocals closely emulate the original artist’s performances the way a dedicated tribute band does, but with one major distinction. We can perform “tribute” caliber performances featuring a wide range of hit songs and artists. Our goal is to replicate what a live performance by multiple original artists might have sounded like in their prime as if they all showed up to perform a concert for you. Close your eyes and you’ll feel like you were just transported back in time. Kind of like “Woodstock”, but without the giant stage, huge crowds, funny smells and a gigantic mess to clean up afterward.
