About the Band

rebels on the train tracks

Wasted Talent has been making music together since the 90's in some way, some way, shape or form. We play music that rocks...and we don't like to stick to a particular genre or era...70's, 80's, 90's, current....60's even?....we play what rocks, what's fun, and what will get people moving (and drinking). We're not in it for the $$$...so we don't play very often....so when we do make it out, our friends, family and fans show up in droves.
