Music lovers rejoice! On this episode of Soul Strings, we dive deep with veteran musician Ed Callison who shares the remarkable story behind Pink Houses USA, his seven-piece John Mellencamp tribute band that's capturing the heartland rock experience across the Midwest.
Ed reveals the fascinating process of assembling the perfect lineup for Pink Houses USA, including the search for violinists that took them from symphony professionals to polka players before finding their sound. With sixteen shows lined up for 2024, including performances at the beautifully restored 1918 Miners Theater, Ed's excitement is contagious as he discusses how the band meticulously recreates Mellencamp's distinctive heartland rock atmosphere.
The conversation expands beyond just one tribute act, as Ed shares his musical journey from childhood drummer saving paper route money for his first kit to fronting multiple tribute bands. His passion spans decades and genres – from the yacht rock sounds of Captain Ed and the Catamarans to ABBA/Bee Gees tributes and a forthcoming Eagles project. What's particularly striking is Ed's disciplined approach to musicianship, emphasizing how consistent weekly rehearsals helped Pink Houses USA develop the tight sound essential for honoring beloved classics.
Whether you're a musician yourself or simply a lover of live music, Ed's stories from decades on stage – including playing to 5,000 fans at St. Charles Family Arena and some colorful moments at biker rallies – offer both entertainment and wisdom. His parting advice? ”Practice, practice, practice” – a simple but powerful reminder that even tribute performances require serious dedication to the craft. Follow Pink Houses USA on Facebook to catch their upcoming performances across Missouri and Illinois.
