The Vanilla Extract's Trip

Caught in a time warp between 1964 and 1974, The Vanilla Extract (Dan Reich, Michael Woods, Anne Zesiger, Doug Kassel and Rob Sherman) offers only the choicest nuggets of Folk-Rock, Garage and Psychedelia, presented by and for folks who have just enough brain cells left to remember the originals, as well as for younger generations who might be wondering what "Flower Power" was all about.

Creative harmonies blend with distinctively vintage guitar tones as TVE revisits - and occasionally reworks - classics by The Beatles, The Stones, Neil Young, The Kinks, Cream and Hendrix, as well as more esoteric gems by The Music Machine, Steppenwolf, and Buffalo Springfield.

The Vanilla Extract is available for festivals, love-ins, pool parties, backyard barbecues (especially if the food is good), birthdays, anniversaries, and any function where there's a desire for good-time retro rock with a "Summer of Love" vibe.

NEWS:

TVE has been invited back to the UC Alumni camp Lair of the Bear in Pinecrest, CA, for the third time this August, in what has become an end-of-summer tradition, and will likely perform at the annual Downey Street Block Party for the seventh time. We've done several memorable shows for special needs audiences through Bread & Roses, a few private parties and hope to have a busy summer schedule. Check our Calendar page for upcoming shows.
