The Trans Ams

About Me

Let's go back to the fun era of rock, ... the early 80's. A time when checkerboard Vans, the Rubik's Cube, and Molly Ringwald were known to all. Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Ghostbusters, and E.T. filled theatre seats while The Dukes of Hazzard and Magnum P.I. kept em' glued to the TV sets.Enter; THE TRANS AMS. Capturing the essence of the fun and care free side of rock-n-roll in the 80's, these five seasoned and professional musicians take the stage with the presence of a real rock band, with a real rock show. Former members of Still Naive (Maverick Records), The Kill (Forbidden Records) and Old School Juicy (Big Shiny Records) make up this undeniably explosive combination. Their music experiences have taken them all over the US, Canada, Europe, and Japan. These are no weekend warriors ....... THE TRANS AMS are totally here to rock.On lead vocals, Jette reigns supreme with his incredible range and versatility. Exuding the confidence of David Lee Roth and the cool of David Hasselhoff, Jette is a chameleon when catering to crowds of any size and type, leaving no one unentertained. Thick, rich guitar tones pour from the speakers of guitarists Andy Powell and Rusty Paine, emanating the style and presence of a greater time in rock history. Drummer Sean Cote carries the beat as if he was born with sticks in his hands and rhythm in his feet. Sammy Allen, world renowned for his thunderous bass tone, effortlessly provides the foundation upon which this totally awesome mountain of rock sits. The dreamy and nostalgic synthesizer sounds complete the 80's feel and take you Back to the Future with ease.THE TRANS AMS are full of accomplished singers, contributing to a broader scope of music, a fuller sound, and a more authentic feel of beloved classics. Three part harmonies meld beautifully from Turn Me Loose to Crimson and Clover as the music of the late 70's and 80's comes to life.The members of THE TRANS AMS have played all over the world for crowds of up to 30,000 people and are true professional personalities with professional gear and put on a professional show. Let's rock this town inside out.Jette - Lead Vocals Andy Powell - Guitars Rusty Bucknife - Guitar/Keyboards Sammy Allen - Bass Sean Cote – Drums
