Dio tribute band, Stand Up & Shout formed from the need for the best Ronnie James Dio tribute band in the greater Seattle area, but it seems we have progressed a bit further to be one of the best if not THE best sounding in the world. We have been told so many times now that we rock we know it and it shows. Our unending support of Ronnie James Dio and his career and music continues as we add epic songs to our setlist dating back to his days in Rainbow, we have requests for more Black Sabbath, and we are delivering already. Dedicated to HIS music, we aspire to emulate the master of metal for you with as many shows as we can. Come see us at our next show and see for yourself, why WE ROCK!!
..
As you may already know - Ronnie James Dio and his many crews have been cranking out Melodic metal and magic since the late 60's, and now Stand up & Shout is here to show our appreciation for all he has taught his metal children. His music and lyrics formed the basis for much of the metal music we now enjoy, both new and old. Without RJD there would be no real heavy metal, and no Stand Up & Shout. We are here to show the many other people who love the music of Ronnie James Dio, how we think it should be performed- LIVE, by talented musicians in their favorite places. We have seen many new faces at our shows and are seeing many smiles and familiar faces as well.
These are the stepping stones of music in their next great leap. Imitation is flattery and we maintain that this music should be treated as the greatest metal ever told, done with as much attention to detail as possible. Like a rendition of a great musical masterpiece these songs shall be delivered.
Ronnie James Dio is one of the GREATEST musical composers & performers of our time, his music will live on for all time with tributes to his greatness like ours, others should learn from his mastery of music and decades of experience. I foresee his music played in the great music halls of the future, with his unique, very difficult to produce sound it will always be loved.
