"Reality Rally is one of Temecula's annual signature events and Kelly Cowan has been our event's musical director for most of our 9 years. His band, Lifetime Rocker has been a big part of the success of our event, creating different and exciting performances over the years keeping our event fresh and enticing. They have an incredible repertoire with over 500 plus songs in almost any genre one can wish for. The band members Kelly, Ray, Joe and Geoff have a remarkable chemistry and talent that makes Life Time Rocker stand way above most other bands. They are interactive with each other and the event guests which shows they care. Reality TV Stars are a big part of Rally Rally and many of those Stars are musicians. Kelly put together a “Celebrity Jam” preparing a special performance at our Evening Gala at South Coast Winery with his band and Reality Star musicians from all over the country. Amazing accomplishment with no possibility of practice and it was flawless. Another memorable and successful contribution Lifetime Rocker made was “Live Band Karaoke” at our Evening of Entertainment at Wilson Creek Winery. Our guests were lined up to sing and have their chance to be backed by a professional band making this evening another incredible success. Kelly and his fun band have performed at many of the other parts of our event over the years. He and his band are a pleasure to work with, they are creative, responsive to our needs and those of the event guests ensuring everyone have a most memorable time. Planning is seamless with Kelly which a huge relief for an event planner and performance is beyond expectations. They all have the heart and passion for what they do and I look forward to having them part of Reality Rally 2022. I highly recommend them for any function. "

"Rating 5/6 : Very Enjoyable Absolute Mayhem The Horse & Chains, Bushey on Saturday 30 September 2023 It's a rare thing to go into a local pub and hear a keyboard player who has been described as a musical "genius" by none other than David Bowie. This is no tall story either. The musician Billy Ritchie was the first player in rock music to give keyboards a prominent role -- and that was before Keith Emerson (ELP) and Rick Wakeman came on the scene. Billy told me that he remained good friends with the Thin White Duke until his death in 2016. Lanark-born Mr Ritchie now provides the skilful and fancy keyboards and records backing tracks for his latest incarnation Mayhem with talented female singer Carol Leslie. Carol is a really strong vocalist with a gutsy style. This dynamic duo started their first set at the cosy Sebright Arms with Elvis's late sixties' classic Suspicious Minds. The second song was a surprise -- Kirsty MacColl's comedy number There's A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears His Elvis. It was a perfect choice after the first song. Carol and Billy select their material wisely and give their audience something very different from the predictable Mustang Sally, Brown Eyed Girl and I Saw Her Standing There, churned out by so many pub bands. So it was great to hear Georgio Moroder and Phil Oakey's electro smash Together In Electric Dreams, Matchbox's catchy rocker Rockabilly Rebel, Starship's uplifting We Built This City (on which Billy demonstrated his keyboard dexterity) and Solomon Burke's gospel-ish Cry To Me. And that was just the first half. Carol is happy to tackle songs usually associated with male vocalists and she started part two with a raucous version of Bryan Adams' rocker Summer Of 69. If you have never seen Mayhem, ask Billy to perform Light My Fire, the Doors rock classic from 1967. This was a sheer musical masterclass as he re-created both vocally and instrumentally this great song. Billy has a rich, tuneful voice and this was a stunning performance. Other highlights in the second half included Journey's rock anthem Don't Stop Believing, Carol's gritty interpretation if Shania Twain's Man I Feel Like A Woman and a fine performance of Bon Jovi's Living On A Prayer A total of 24 songs and I cannot wait to see this duo again. My only concern is their name. I think many club and pubgoers might think Mayhem are a heavy metal band rather than an all-round, top class duo.

"Já assisti a dois espetáculos da banda. As músicas transportam-nos para um momento de sonho, tranquilidade, paz e serenidade! Com os elementos da banda, temos vontade de cantar e até mesmo dançar! As músicas são intemporais! Recomendo vivamente! "

"I never understood how people get so into a group. How they always go to see them live. How they drool over every note. Until now! Never have I 'felt' music, like when these guys play. Never has music moved me to dance so much (in my seat) and smile so much. A fantastic few hours listening to the brilliant, awesome, spectacular Electric Owls. Just breathtaking today, ELECTRIC!!! "
