Rush, a Canadian progressive rock band formed in 1968, is perhaps best known for their exceptional musicianship and science fiction-inspired lyrics. The Rush Tribute Project consists of Bill Heck (guitars, pedals and vocals), Sean Jones (bass, keyboards, pedals and lead vocals) and Thomas Slawnik (drums and cymbals). The tribute band covers Rush’s entire catalog of music.

“The Rush Tribute Project is one of the most accurate and authentic cover bands playing today,” said event organizer Brian Johnson. “All fans of Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee, and the late Neil Peart will be thrilled by this tribute.”
The tribute band will play over three hours of Rush hits and deep cuts in one single performance. To more accurately capture the essence of Rush, the band members also use vintage instruments and clothing that span the 40 years of music that the original band produced.
