Short Bio
Growing
up in the fifties, four teenagers acquired a natural love
and respect for the music of that decade. Developing their
individual music skills as adults, they never lost their
love for music of the fifties. Through circumstance of
fate and coincidence, these “former teenagers”
found each other and became the hottest 50's Rock &
Roll band of the 21st century, Alan Cochran & The
Crestliners.
Alan
Cochran leads the band and plays lead
guitar and sings vocals. Influenced by Chuck Berry, Bobby
Darin, Eddie Cochran and others, his main influence was
Elvis. His “Memories of Elvis Music Tribute”
is awesome! Originally from Fountain Square, Alan migrated
to Jacksonville, Florida where he formed the "Company
Band" entertaining along the Eastern Seaboard. After
12 successful years, he returned to his roots and formed
Alan Cochran & The Crestliners.
George
Cornelius plays a rocking and smoking
piano. Influenced by Jerry Lee Lewis, his piano pumping
style and strong vocals are a show of its own. For many
years, George played with the top bands around Indy. After
relocating to California for for several years, he returned
to Indy and joined The Crestliners.
Johnny
Rea plays both electric bass and standup
string bass. Besides his excellent vocals, he entertains
the audience with his wild antics with his standup bass.
Excellent show! Johnny has played with the top bands around
Indy and is well respected as both a musician and entertainer.
SSteve
Kennedy
is from Indianapolis and started playing drums in 1965.
In addition to drumming, he sings vocals, and when called
on, can play piano and guitar. Steve has played with the
top local bands in Indy as well as some national acts
that include:The Platters, The Drifters, The Coasters,
The Marvelettes, The Outsiders, The Dovells, Gallery,
Maxine Nightingale, Tony DeFranco, England Dan & John
Ford Coley, Al Wilson, and The Bay City Rollers.
