RISING

About Me

RISING is a 4 piece true 93X Style, Hard Rock/Metal Cover Band. In April of 2007, Rob, Mike & Tommy had a vision to put together the best Hard Rock/Metal Cover Band Minnesota has ever seen! It took just over a year, and a few different Drummers until Chris joined and RISING was ready to live their Dream! In June 0f 2008, RISING began showing the Twin Cities what 4 talented Musicians, with the same taste in music, hard work, and dedication were capable of putting together! In their first year, they began Rocking Stage's all over Minnesota and Wisconsin, and quickly built a Strong Reputation. By April of 2009, it was time for RISING to take it to the Next Level. This meant Working Even Harder, Playing More Shows, and Building a Bigger Fan Base. For this to happen, RISING had to part with their Original Drummer Chris and began searching for a Drummer who had what it took! Soon RISING Discovered Donny! After the first Audition, it was clear that RISING had found their New Drummer and was ready to ROCK even Harder! So here we are now, May of 2009 and with even Bigger Goals in mind, RISING is ready to take it as far as they can! With their unique Song List, RISING gives their Fans what they want to hear, and leaves you wanting to come back for more! RISING gives you 100% every time they perform, and looks forward to every upcoming show! This is still the beginning, so spread the word and let me hear you SAY RISING!For booking information Contact: Greg Absey @ 651-771-7759 / WWW.ABSEYENTERTAINMENT.COMVisit RISING'S Official website @ WWW.RISINGBAND.COM..
