“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” is a famous Oscar Wilde quote that undoubtedly applies to Aeromyth. This Aerosmith tribute band is praised as The Ultimate Aerosmith Tribute Experience across the globe since 2007. The representation of the original band that is displayed individually and in its entirety is astonishing. Aeromyth takes you back to the 1970s, and swiftly rock through the 1990s.
Their one goal is, “The suspension of belief while remaining true to the undeniable spirit of America’s greatest rock band.” They have perfected their technique in recreating a true Aerosmith experience down to the finest details. Yes, he looks like Steven Tyler and absolutely walks, talks, and portrays the part like only a rock star could.
Maybe you’ve seen them playing clubs, casinos, festivals, bike rallies, and a side stage at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater to a sold-out crowd at Arrowfest. Since the creation of the group, they also appeared on the Today Show, Tonight Show, Regis & Kelly, Entertainment Tonight, and headlined the New Year’s Eve party on Fremont Street in Las Vegas from 2008-2014. Aeromyth earned Best of Las Vegas 2015 for their contribution to the Legends in Concert show.
This collection of talent is the fruition of Neil Shelton’s (Brad Whitford) design. Once Chris Van Dahl (Steven Tyler) joined forces with Shelton, the core piece of the puzzle that is now Aeromyth was intact. Frankie Wilsey (Joe Perry) manipulates the guitar in an accurate fashion. Tony Cavazo strikes his bass as tight as Tom Hamilton and was recruited to the band in 2013. Joey Grillo completed the arrangement that has developed into the present Aeromyth.
Witness their genius rendition of “Dream On” and other live performances on YouTube. This award-winning ensemble is truly a gift to Aerosmith fans. Aeromyth is performing all weekend at Wildflower! Arts & Music Festival in the Eisemann Center.
