Formed in 2007 under the name “Si’s Smokin Aces,” the band initially supported rockabilly acts like Robb Storm and the Persuaders and The Runaways (a Shadows tribute band).

Their repertoire includes classics from legends such as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Dion, Little Richard, and Marty Wilde, all delivered with authentic flair and infectious enthusiasm.
