Smoke and Mirrors is a Neo-Classic Rock band from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. When you want people on the dance floor all night long, you want Smoke and Mirrors. We know how to keep the crowd on their feet, dancing, and thirsty.
The first sign of a great cover band is their sound. Simply put, Smoke and Mirrors sounds amazing. Sometimes as good as the original artists do live.
The second part of the equation is the show. We, Smoke and Mirrors, actually look like we are having fun at our shows, because…we are. Joe Jesse plays the guitar behind his head, runs through the crowd, stands in precarious places while playing his guitar. Rich Butler moves and grooves to the music. Earl the Pearl is playing in the pocket while we are promoting Love and Peace. We understand that it is a SHOW.
Smoke and Mirrors offer 3 to 4 hours of music each night depending on the needs and budget of the venue. We played a mix of new and old classic rock. We can play tunes from almost any genre.
