Classic rock cover bands are great because they offer a way to experience popular, timeless music live with skill and dedication, providing comfort and a shared nostalgic experience for fans. They serve as cultural guardians for the music's legacy, allow audiences to sing along to familiar songs, and can offer an affordable and accessible alternative to seeing the original, often unavailable, artists. 

Here's why classic rock cover bands are beneficial:

Nostalgia and familiarity: Fans have the opportunity to revisit cherished memories and a particular era by experiencing beloved, popular songs from the past performed live.

Accessible live music: For many people, attending performances by the original classic rock bands is not feasible due to factors like the band's disbandment, members passing away, or the high cost of tickets. Cover bands offer a live music experience that is typically more affordable than seeing a legendary original artist.

Skilled musicianship: Many cover bands are composed of highly skilled musicians dedicated to performing classic songs with precision and passion, offering brilliant versions of the music. 

Engaging performance: Good cover bands connect with their audience by inviting sing-alongs, creating a lively atmosphere, and involving the crowd, fostering a sense of community. 

Preservation of musical legacy: These bands act as guardians of musical history, keeping the spirit and songs of past artists alive for new and existing fans. 

Diverse and extensive catalog: Unlike a tribute band focused on one artist, a cover band can perform songs from a wide range of different bands and artists, providing a varied and entertaining setlist. 

An energetic live experience: The raw energy and excitement of a live performance cannot be replicated at home, and cover bands bring this valuable energy to audiences. 

Throughout all of 2024, the cats cradle has hosted over 25 bands, for live performances. Including of which were "the hounds of thunder", "rokbox", "no names band", "twisted tango", "society of sin", "fulltilt", "Genx 90", "wild shot honey", among some.

They've also hosted many audio/visual tributes to many bands over the years including anniversaries of their passing. Such as "prince" and the "cranberries" lead singer Dolores. The Prince event has gone down in history with huge fanatics online as one of the greatest tributes.
