The Renditions are a high-energy four-piece band based in Mystic, CT, specializing in early Rock & Roll, Rockabilly, and Standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band and its concept were born from a series of open mic shows in which Chris was the house band guitarist, and Rich performed a few rockabilly tunes. Rich suggested to Chris that they start a band with that same vibe, and Chris signed on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rich had recently reconnected with Carl, a drummer with whom Rich had played in a band back in the 1980s, and when Rich asked Carl to be a part of this project, Carl immediately agreed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through a series of mutual connections, Chris put Rich in touch with David, and David and his bass jumped on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
