Emerging rock band Theory of Flight started building its fan base with hometown shows here at the House of Blues in Mandalay Bay, Diablo’s Cantina in the Monte Carlo and the Hard Rock Hotel. Now fans have been so supportive that when the band launched its debut album Within Reach, Theory of Flight decided on a free concert at Town Square. Click HERE for our story about Theory of Flight last week.
Our contributing photographer Tom Donoghue was on duty at the concert. Tom told me: “The fans, which grow larger in number, at each concert are solidly behind them. The band is really building a buzz. Their sounds were really refreshing. It was music with feeling and with words that had meaning. I was hooked within three songs, and I went right out and bought Within Reach for my CD player!”
The emerging band has already started gaining recognition in Los Angeles with a Hollywood Music in Media Award. They also have joined with Grammy-nominated L.A. sound engineer and producer Mark Needham, who has worked with The Killers, Fleetwood Mac and Chris Isaak. Mark helped the band mix its 12-track debut album.
Beau Hodges is the lead vocalist, and lead guitarist Vince Casas also serves as songwriter. Band members also include Stephen Godrum on rhythm guitar, Joey McMahon on bass, keyboard player John Columbo and drummer Tyler Williams.
As part of its road to success, Theory of Flight has committed to perform charity work to benefit the Children’s Miracle Network, so we might see them at January’s Miss America Pageant at Planet Hollywood, as the two organizations work with each other in fundraising activities.
