tHE Ultimate Pretenders Tribute Band

---

Janae (rhymes with René) IS our own "Chrissie Hynde".  Close your eyes -- & you won't be able to  tell the two apart. Spooky!

Janae's career spans country (at the Grand Ole Opry) to rock to pop to punk. A talented songwriter, you can hear her on 'Good As Gone', an album of her original tunes (plus one written for her  by  legend Jack Tempchin) -- on Apple Music, Spotify, etc.

Ed's unmistakably powerful pumping bass is the pulsing heartbeat of the band -- that makes everyone want to get up and dance!

Ed is a multi-instrumentalist & has been playing bass for longer than he can remember!  He especially loves playing the infectious bass lines that define The Pretenders sound.

John's searing guitar solos put The Pretenderz in a league of their own -- this is much more than a note-for-note tribute band.

John was born in London England & now   calls SoCal home. Growing up in a musical household, he played his first paid show at the tender age of 17.  John has had the privilege travelling the world,  playing guitar with some of the biggest names of the 80s & 90s. 

Otherwise known as Kong, Konstantin's driving drums are a constant reminder that The Pretenderz are here to rock out!.

 Konstantin began his music career with the teen sensation group, Indigo in Los Angeles in the late 1980's.  He has recorded albums of various genres throughout his career & has played at venues all over California and beyond. 

Roy's lacy guitar layers & hooks help lock in that '80s New Wave sound of the original Pretenders.   He doubles on keyboards.

Roy has played live & in the studio with Todd Rundgren/Utopia, Starship, The Tubes & others.  When no one is looking, he plays country club jazz, is always writing songs & is currently shopping his "Broadway" musical, 'Miracle Girl'.

Rhonda is a professional's player when it comes to melodic dancing with the keyboards -- she gets it done. 

Her vocals are as dependable as her playing & she brings sunshine to any performance.
