Forte':
Genesee County, MichiganPlaying long-lost, but never forgotten, classic rock covers from the 70's, 80's and 90's - including killer songs by Alice In Chains, April Wine, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Candlebox, CCR, Foreigner, Triumph...the list goes on. Our song list also features songs by rock history's favorite female artists. The members of Forte' have joined together to create a classic rock band that will truly entertain! Each of the four members of Forte' contribute vocally, as well as instrumentally, which contributes to our "full" rock sound and adds even more variety to our set lists. Most of all, we LOVE rock and roll! This is not your ordinary bar cover band! And that is our goal!!Now booking for private parties, events, clubs... anywhere that loves rock and roll!.... FORTE' definition:
–noun 1. a strong point, as of a person; that in which one excels:music
–adjective 1. (a direction) loud; with force (opposed to piano).
–adverb 2. (a direction) loudly.
–noun 3. a passage that is loud and forcible, or is intended to be so.
synonyms:
1. talent, skill, excellence, strength, specialty; knack, bent.Pronunciation note:
In the sense of a person's strong point (He draws well, but sculpture is his forte), the older and historical pronunciation of forte is the one-syllable [fawrt] or [fohrt]. The word is derived from the French word fort "strong." A two-syllable pronunciation [fawr-tey] is increasingly heard, especially from younger educated speakers, perhaps owing to confusion with the musical term forte, pronounced in English as [fawr-tey] and in Italian as [fawr-te]. Both the one- and two-syllable pronunciations of forte are now considered standard.(*taken from dictionary.com)Forte': classic rock that kicks your ass!

The Forte' Philosophy is to be different!! We play those cover songs that are not always so easy to play! They are covers that are challenging and interesting. They are songs that, when you hear one, you might say "Wow! I haven't heard that song in ages!!" We believe that, with as many classic favorite songs as there are in music history, our audience should hear music that is not overplayed by radio stations, DJs and other performing artists. There is so much out there! Let us open your minds and trigger your memories!! As an event organizer, why hire different groups that play all the same songs? (If you want the same song list played every night, you would hire a house band, right?) You won't get the "same old, same old" with Forte'! Fresh! Intriging! Different! That is what we strive to be!!
