Grab yourself a heaping helping of Vintage Garage-Rock, pile on some American Blues, add a dash of '60's style British Rock & Roll, and garnish with a pinch of the Deep South's finest Rockabilly flavor. Mix it all up in a Memphis soul kitchen, and simmer 'til midnight on a sultry summer evening. That should give you an idea of '65 Fastback's unique sound. Since forming in fall of 2002, '65 FASTBACK have become favorites at several local establishments, and received favorable receptions at such regional events as East Coast Sturgis and the Mobtown Greaseball.

The band is made up of Rod Smith on bass and lead vocals, Wayne Salamon on guitar and vocals, and Chris Jackson behind the drum kit.

In addition to being the bassist for the legendary VooDoo Love Gods, Rod has laid down the bass for Frederick, Md alt/country rockers Porter Hall, and Baltimore bluesman Dean Lisi, as well as a stint touring as the low-end for the World Famous 69 Band.

Heavily influenced by British blues and American rock-a-billy, Wayne's flawless vintage tone, unlimited musical knowledge, and versatile guitar chops are the signature of the '65 Fastback sound.

Chris has been playing for 20 years up and down the East coast, everything from jazz, fusion, funk, rock and blues with such bands as Tyterope, The Mason Shehann Project, Dem Guise, and the Crawdaddies.  “Whether its 5 or 50,000 people,  I love this stuff!”

So next chance you get, come on out and get down with the '65 Fastback band and all their friends.

'65 Fastback... genuine rock-n-roll... genuine good times.
