KRYSTAL ... Classic Rock... When Rock Ruled The Radio! Doing The Best Of The Greatest Bands In Rock History...
We recreate a true concert experience, not your ordinary cover band !
We do all the familiar favorites... no deep tracks so you are sure to sing and groove along (or just space out !!).
Go back in time with us and listen to some Styx, Foreigner, Stones, Queen, Petty, Creedence, Cheap Trick, Pink Floyd, Grand Funk, Hendrix, SRV, Bad Co, Journey, Elton, etc....
And our WHO and Led Zeppelin Tribute set that will blow you away with pure energy.
Early history of the band began around 1976... we were a couple of school age kids practicing in basements and gigging anywhere they let us play.... John Vincent Olsen's writing talent lit the flame for what would give us an identity, a vibe, The Krystal sound. Being a five piece rock band, most of its members hail from Hoboken NJ and have been friends for over 40 years. In the early days as an all original band we penned songs with deep emotion, meaningful lyrics, and diverse music styles.
Krystal, created quite a buzz around the state of New Jersey. The band hit the club circuit drawing record crowds. Krystal had become a thriving force of pure rock and roll. Playing original clubs such as Kenny's Castaways in New York's Greenwich Village, The Great Gildersleeves, Max's Kansas City, Hoboken's Maxwells, Saints & Sinners, and the Jersey Shore's Stone Pony and The Saint.
Krystal has opened for John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band as well as Grammy winner Peter Frampton. Krystal performed many shows at "The Arts & Music Festival" located in Hoboken, NJ where they shared the stage with Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees.
Bringing back a classic rock style in their original music that is purely timeless, Krystal has put together a riveting live music performance, bringing electricity and raw power to the stage. Krystal has released their first CD In April of 2008, self titled "Krystal".
In May of 2008, Krystal was featured via live broadcast on The Hawk Radio 105.7FM (Home of Classic Rock), at New Jersey's Premier Music Venue, The Stone Pony. The 45 minute Hawk broadcast reached thousands of listeners from Southern New Jersey to Eastern Pennsylvania, and the response to Krystal's performance was overwhelming, expanding their New Jersey Fan base into the Pennsylvania region. Krystal also donates their playing time to charity and fundraiser events. It is part of their acknowledgment of giving back to their fans, who have made their love of music and performing possible.
Thier second CD, Krystal II / Elysian Park is a collection of a more roots rock sounding CD with songs focused on their hometown of Hoboken, N.J., with the title track "Elysian Park" referring to the famed Tenth and Hudson Street park as well as "Take Me Home". The CD includes songs that feature some great sax work by Jerry Mokar who has toured with many national acts. There's also a cover of Grand Funk's "I'm Your Captain - Closer To Home"
With the decline and closures of most of the renowned "Original Rock Venues" in the area Krystal is now a classic rock cover / tribute band where they are keeping that genre alive.... we are not your ordinary rock band... we're "the concert experience".
Come see us for a rockin' experience !! Check our schedule for our next show!
Love and Peace!
