8O's Tribute Band,
The Influence
Wear your sunglasses at night and flip your polo collars in the upright position. The Influence is here to play the chart-toppers, dance hits and one-hit-wonders from this totally bodacious decade in music.
Dance!…Dance! …Dance! …then chill like Robert Downey, Jr.
The Influence is:
Marc Chianese (Vox, Guitar)
Paul Hennigar (Guitars, Guitars, Guitars)
Joe Adams (Vox, Keys)
Kevin Watkins (Drums)
Nick Renzi (Bass)
Past performances include Parx Casino, The Buck Hotel, Union Firehouse, Nick’s Roast Beef, and Curran’s.
The Influence is deeply rooted in the 8O’s. Nick Renzi met Kevin Watkins in 1981 when they were sophomores at Father Judge High School. They became fast friends and started a band…
then another…
and another…
Soon after graduation, Nick and Kevin pursued separate full-time music careers with iconic Philly bands.
And now, some 30 years later, they have reunited to form The Influence.
Kevin and Nick still mildly annoy each other … but their passion for music shows there is a lot of love there!
