English blues legend, John Mayall, once called The Flock, the best band I heard in America, after they shared the stage for a performance. The Flock has been considered an extremely innovative band combining Jazz, Rock, Fusion, and Classical themes into their repertoire. They have shared the stage with such greats as: Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, Joe Cocker, Grateful Dead, and many other notable artists both in the USA and abroad. From the Fillmore East to Fillmore West and most venues in between including Chicagos own Kinetic Playground, Aragon Ballroom, Auditorium Theater and Grant Park Bandshell, The Flock has enjoyed great success around the world including Londons ROYAL ALBERT HALL!
