Our Story
Rockslide has strong dedication to a blend of Classic and 80's rock. Rockslide has captivated crowds from Reno to the Bay Area for the past 30 years. The group has performed at nightclubs, corporate events, and private parties.
Providing lead vocals and guitar is Tony Tuoto. Tony has performed in several club bands in Northern California. His voice is reminiscent of Lou Gramm or Paul Rogers while his musical roots lay in the blues of the Allman Brothers and vintage Clapton.
Filling out the musical texture of the band is multi-keyboardest/vocalist Thad Foster. Though classically trained, his musical influences include Jonathan Cain and Elton John. Thad's southern rock vocal styling brings an added dimension to the group.
We are sad that we recently lost guitar expert Mark Banning to a rare illness. His sparking personality and fiery showmanship as well as his excellent guitar playing will be missed.
Rockslide was blessed to have the very talented guitarist and lead singer Danny Magalas join the band. Danny had performed with our friend Mark for several years in The Mark Banning Band as well as the Unauthorized Rolling Stones. Danny brings a sizzling guitar style and strong vocals to the band.
The cornerstone of the Rockslide rhythm section is bassist Ike Reeves. Ike's solid bass playing helps lay the foundation for the band. Ike has performed with multiple bands with a wide variety of styles.
Providing a solid beat and driving the rhythm is drummer extraordinaire Rick Jensen! Rick bring a wealth of talent to the band with his strong drum skills and awesome vocals! Rick is also a veteran of several East Bay bands.
