Twist of Rock

Twist of Rock was formed in 2019 to offer new and exciting rock driven versions of all the great pop, rock, indie, funk & soul dance anthems. Our aim is to offer something a bit different that will provide a great live band experience, and will please anyone that loves a bit of rock but also wants to party to all the popular dance classics. The band was formed around Rebekah Shearer, an internationally acclaimed female lead singer with a great rock and soul voice. Rebekah has sung on Broadway and has toured the world as lead singer with several musical theatre shows. The rest of the band are professional musicians who have been members of some of the UK's top rock cover acts. The combination of the band's driving rock style and Rebekah's powerful voice and stage presence will make any event feel special. They are a joy to watch and their cleverly worked interpretations of some of the best loved dance anthems are great for both listening and dancing. Rebekah - Lead singer Rebekah was born in Scotland and studied in London at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts. Rebekah's biggest achievement was performing off-Broadway as a lead vocalist in Celtic Nights with the show also being broadcast on PBS all over the USA.

In 2013, after a year in originals bands in London he spent a year on the high seas around the world as part of the house band on Fred Olsen and P&O cruise ships. Since returning to the UK in 2014 Conrad has been part of a 7 piece Bruce Springsteen tribute band playing music venues and theatres all over the UK. Craig - Drums & vocals With tons and tons of live and studio experience, Craig is a dynamic, exciting and outstanding drummer who loves what he does. He’s played with amazing bands all over the country and is a member of The Supercalas. Gigging since the age of 11, he still absolutely loves every gig and the buzz he gets from it. A rock, pop and indie drummer (with occasional jazz to cleanse the palate) he takes his inspiration from drummers like Ringo Starr, Keith Moon, Jon Farris and Neil Peart... but alas lacks their looks, technique and money...but totally embodies their passion for drumming and shiny sexy drums ... and vibrating drum thrones... look out for Craig, he’s the one at the back, usually laughing at a joke he just told himself. David - Guitar David has been playing guitar since the age of 8 and initially studied folk, classical and jazz guitar before discovering rock and blues music in his teens. He went on to play in numerous rock and jazz/blues bands over the years playing everything from AC/DC to Gershwin. His main influences are lyrical rock, blues and Jazz guitarists like Gary Moore, David Gilmore, Santana, Pat Metheny, Eric Clapton and John Mayer. David is now a full time musician splitting his time between studio work and live performances.
