John Watkins, guitar, keys
John’s one of those people with a photographic memory, a natural musical gift and most of all an incredible work ethic. He also likes being as close to perfect as is humanly possible when it comes to performing the songs they way you remember them! He’s a big reason 70’sFM songs sound so close to the originals! He somehow manages to get the most out of all of the musicians while maintaining an affable demeanor.

Dennis Costis, guitar, ukulele, vocals
Dennis Costis (Guitar) Dennis’s impassioned command of the guitar allows him to attack his instrument with feral intensity and then play something very soft and achingly beautiful. He’s a big part of SoundTracks Of A Generation playing in the 70’sFM Radio Rockumentary Show, Summer of Love 1967/Monterrey Pop, The Woodstock Era & Have A Cigar (The Pink Floyd Experience). Dennis also started the Concert For George in his living room years ago and brought it to STOAG. It’s an honor and a joy to be on stage with this guy, just ask any of our musicians and singers!
