LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

THE CARS were easily one of the most popular bands from the late 70's and early 80's.  Their first album is among the best debut records of all time, spawning chart-topping hits and songs that to this day are still played all over the radio.  One could say they were a band ahead of their time, as they helped shape the 80's "new wave" sound which is hugely popular almost 40 years later as attest to their 2018 induction to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.

In 2001, Darryl (Ocasek) Battaglia was looking to put together a band that would appeal to the mass audience who loved the sound and total vibe of the 80's. He was inspired to form Candy-O, the ultimate tribute to the Cars.  Rounding out the line-up is  McCrea( Hawkes) Adams on keyboards and vocals , Brenton (Orr) Worthy on bass and vocals.  2019 brings in two new members, Steven (Easton) Lawrence  on guitar and Axel (Robinson) Clarke on drums.
 

Covering all of the Cars’ radio hits as well as some popular album cuts, Candy-O captures the terminal cool of the Cars live performance in all aspects, all live, with no vocal or music sampling whatsoever. The band has consistently amazed and entertained crowds whenever and wherever they hit the stage. So catch a ride to the era that was all about fun, and enjoy the sound and vision of the 80’s created by Candy-O!

Past Members include Steve Pandol, Chris Nolan, Pierre Leeman, Don e. Sachs, Edward Concaildi, Bob Duda, and Martin Etchinverry.
