The Center for the Arts is pleased to present The Floyd in the Marisa Funk Theater on June 15, 2024.
The Floyd is an award-winning regional touring Pink Floyd tribute band formed in 2012. This 6-piece group is known for their tremendous musicality, chemistry, and attention to detail in recreating Pink Floyd’s most cherished recordings, all live, with spectacular concert lighting and pristine audio and presented with a quadraphonic surround twist. They have been performing their unique and ever-evolving productions in Northern Nevada and California for over a decade to loyal enthusiastic sellout crowds, most recently in Reno, Lake Tahoe and Auburn. The group is comprised of Vince Gates (bass, guitar, vocals), Rob Lawrence (keys, vocals), Curtis Mitchell (guitar, vocals), Lisa McCuiston (guitar, bass, percussion, vocals), Jeff Laakso (Keys, sax, guitar, vocals), and Patrick McQuain (drums, percussion).
They set themselves apart from other tributes because each show is individually crafted and played by musicians–and never computer-automated like most national-level Pink Floyd tributes performing today. In short, this band has SOUL.
The band and in-house production crew take great pride in re-creating each subtle detail that makes Pink Floyd so special. Like the original, their shows feature a massive array of concert lighting. Audiences can expect to hear songs from the albums of Pink Floyd’s most popular and classic rock era: Meddle, Dark Side of The Moon (complete!), Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall.
The Floyd shows are created in painstaking detail and are not just concerts, but community events. Come on out to The Center for the Arts on June 25th, 2024 to experience The Floyd for yourselves!
