N THE HEARTLAND Playing The Music of the Michael Stanley Band
Featuring MSB guitarist DANNY POWERS with other MSB members MICHAEL GISMONDI, and GARY MARKASKY, along with MSB and Resonators vocalist JENNIFER LEE.
IN THE HEARTLAND is hands down the closest thing fans can get to seeing the MICHAEL STANLEY BAND live! With former MSB member Danny Powers featured, along with other former members of the original Michael Stanley Band sitting in as special guests.
IN THE HEARTLAND is more than just a tribute band, it’s the ULTIMATE MSB experience taking “tribute band” to the next level. Playing “all the hits you want to hear”, IN THE HEARTLAND celebrates Michael Stanley’s musical legacy recreated through a full concert band experience playing the songs the way fans remember hearing them during those sold out nights at Blossom.
With Michael Stanley’s full support and blessing, Kelly Derrick formed his first MSB tribute Stagepass in 1991. The most recent version of his MSB tribute was formed in 2021, as IN THE HEARTLAND continues to play to “record breaking crowds” in both Michael and Kelly’s memory.
IN THE HEARTLAND features former member of MSB Danny Powers on Lead Guitar, Eric Brooke on Guitar and Lead Vocals, Johnny Sustar on Keyboards, Bill March on Bass, Michael Scott Nelson on Drums and Mark Rasnick on Sax.
This Year IN THE HEARTLAND adds MSB and The Resonators vocalist Jennifer Lee.
