None Tributosaurus: Johnny Cash at Martyrs'
Name a band, and Tributosaurus probably knows how to play at least one of its songs. Since 2002, the local musical chameleons have been covering a different band every month (with a few breaks), ranging from The Rolling Stones and The Beatles to Supertramp and Yes. They learn the music, hone the vocal cadence, and add singers or instrumentalists as needed—Tributosaurus has five core members, but it assembles a custom team best suited for each band it covers. While some might cry foul about Tributosaurus supplementing its musical muscles with hired guns, that’s really beside the point. Unbelievable as it might be, Tributosaurus flawlessly recreates the groups it seeks to emulate. That they’re able to do it so consistently and on a monthly basis speaks volumes about their capabilities.
