About the Band
About the Band
Not Quite Alright is an alternative rock band based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Our eclectic cover song selection focuses on nostalgic hits from the past, as well as alternative rock songs currently on the charts. We really only have a few filters:
Is the band considered alternative rock?
Is it high energy?
Can you sing along?
Does it make you want to move?
We tend to play songs not many other bands cover, giving us a unique place in the music scene. Honestly, when's the last time you heard a cover band in Colorado Springs play a Keane or Muse song? See the artists we cover here.
The band hails from diverse backgrounds, with decades of training and live playing experience. Here's a rundown of who were are:
Charlie
Lead Vocals & Guitars
Charlie was born in a little town in Alabama and moved to Colorado Springs when he was a young boy. His mother is a country singer and multi-instrumentalist, so his musical addictions began at a young age. Charlie started playing cello is school, but he always wanted to rock. He soon switched to saxophone and played in the marching and jazz bands in school. When he joined the Navy at 18, the saxophone was too loud for his neighbors, so he switched to electric guitar and has been playing guitar ever since. He began singing at a very early age with his mother and was soon singing in church choirs. Most of his vocal training came from singing in chamber choir in high school. He has been singing in various rock bands since 1996.
Justin
Keyboards & Vocals
Justin is a member. Of. The. Band. The other members don’t really know what Justin does, but they put him behind keyboards to look important. Luckily, the keyboards are pre-programed so no one worries about the absolute disgrace Justin makes of himself as the band plays. Prior to joining Not Quite Alright, Justin provided therapy to assorted domesticated rodents. (Seriously, he's a classically trained pianist.)
Barry
Drums & Vocals
Since going drum crazy when he was 10 years old, Barry has studied and played classic rock, hard rock, southern rock, progressive, blues and many other styles of music with fabulous musicians. In addition to the drums, Barry plays rhythm guitar and sings, and he has years of experience recording, mixing and mastering in the studio. Influences include Frank Zappa, John Bonham, Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Clyde Stubblefield, David Garibaldi, Chris Layton, Phil Collins, Gavin Harrison, Peter Erskine and many, many others. He joined his first band at age 13 and has custom acoustic and electronic drum sets.
Seth
Bass & Grooves
From humble beginnings in the world of Metal, Seth unexpectedly stumbled upon the captivating allure of Funk music. Embracing this new rhythm with an open heart, he dared to venture into uncharted musical territory. Transitioning from the realm of heavy riffs to the land of groove and cosmic soul, Seth found himself immersed in a vibrant world of getting down, where he continued to explore and evolve. It has been a humbling journey, and he is grateful to share this music he loves with audiences everywhere.
