CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Blue Tattoo is hosting a Rock and Roll Revival New Year’s Eve Classic Rock Masquerade Thursday at the Hermiston Conference Center. Blue Tattoo cranks things up for New Year’s Eve By TAMMY MALGESINI Community Editor A familiar Hermis- ton-based classic rock cover band will ring in the new year during a Rock and Roll Revival Classic Rock Mas- querade. Kelly Nobles, Blue Tat- too founder and drummer, said the band has been play- ing out of the area a lot re- cently and it was time to come home. “And what better way to ring in the new year than a rock revival,” he said. The New Year’s Eve event is Thursday from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Hermis- ton Conference Center, 415 S. Highway 395. Advance tickets for the 21-and-old- er event are $25/couple or $15/single. They are avail- able at www.facebook.com/ events/566329666854525, the conference center or by calling 541-571-2588. Tick- ets purchased at the door are $20 each. The event also features TroubleMaker, a classic rock band from the Tri-Cit- ies. The ticket price includes party favors, prizes for best rock and roll costumes, best tattoo and best air guitar. Also, food and a no-host bar is being handled by Stuart Rice of The Midway Tav- ern. Gene Miller, the group’s lead singer, is hoping people will get into the masquerade and come dressed as their favorite musicians. Blue Tattoo has been per- forming since 2007. They kicked things up a notch after winning the inaugural Battle of the Bands during the 2011 Umatilla County Fair. Since then, they have been hobnobbing with a number of well-known bands. This summer they hung out with the likes of Queensryche, Twisted Sis- ter, Jefferson Starship, April Wine and Fran Cosmo, for- mer lead singer of Boston, while performing at the 15th annual Rockin’ the Rivers music festival in Montana. Also, the band has brought a number of per- formers to town to play, in- cluding Frank Hannon, gui- tarist for Tesla, and RAIL, who Nobles also plays drums with. Nobles said Blue Tat- too audiences are treated to some awesome vocals with Miller as lead singer. His vocal range, Nobles said, is among the best. The rest of the band, Nobles said, also possesses a lot of talent. They include Johnny Jag- ger (keyboards and backing vocals) Juaquin Esparza (lead/backing guitars and vocals) Paul Inserra (bass guitar and backing vocals) and Lee Oswald (lead/back- ing guitars, backing vocals). Although the average age of the band members is around 50, the boys can rock, Nobles said. “The guys all get out and sell it and we have a crown jewel with Gene,” Nobles said. “He’s all over the stage. He’s very charismatic.” Miller said the band is like a family and they enjoy what they do. In addition, he said the crowds seem to like them, too. “We play a lot of the mu- sic people want to hear,” Miller said. If the event goes well, No- bles and Miller said it could become a yearly tradition. For more informa- tion about the band, visit www.bluetattooband.com or www.facebook.com/ bluetattoorockband.
