Check out one cover band that is coming into their own. Southern rock still lives with Amended Return
The band members consist of Scott Zercher-Drums, Pat Gillespie-Guitar and vocals, Rod Pierce-Keyboards and Lead vocals, Lanny Pierce-Guitar and vocals, and the newest member, Mark Price-Bass Guitar and vocals. Pat , Rod and Lanny were playing with some other band members in the original version of this band when it was called Tax Evazion, they later changed the name to Amended Return. I, Scott Zercher was playing in original acts in Colorado before moving to Illinois in 1998 and Mark Price was playing in original acts in L.A. before moving back to Illinois. We all were playing with some of the best musicians in our area's and some of those members went on to International acts such as Head East and REO Speedwagon. That just speaks for itself in the kind of caliber of musicians we all were sharing the stage with at different times in our lives. In 2008 Pat came to sit in for a band I, Scott, was playing in and I really admired his talent and professionalism. We started talking about the troubles Amended Return was having finding the right pieces to move forward and Pat told me he would get me an audition to see if we could get the music flowing the way they were hoping for. Once I got the opportunity to jam with Amended things really started to sound more polished and we were on our way playing throughout Illinois and Indiana. The Bass player we had was getting very busy with his work and felt that he was holding the band back by not being available to play as much as we were booking so he decided to drop out to allow us to move forward so we started the hunt for a Bass player. After working for months with guys who just couldn't get up to speed we finally landed one of the area's finest Bass men, Mark Price. Mark had been playing in a very popular Metal band in Illinois but he had played in bands with Pat in the past. Mark absolutely slayed every song we worked with him on and really got up to speed very quickly. We had all played in Classic Rock bands, Blues Bands, Metal Bands and original acts
