THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

Best of the Eagles (BOTE) is one of the top Eagles tribute bands in the country, performing the band’s greatest hits from the 70’s, 80’s and beyond. What makes this tribute band unique from other bands is that each member performs and sings the song just as the original member does. That means that their ” Joe Walsh” sings the Joe Walsh songs, their “Glenn Frey” sings the Glenn Frey songs and their “Don Henley” replicates all of his incredible vocals. However, this is no simple copy band or impersonator act but rather a group of excellent musicians who expertly and authentically re-create the songs, the music, the vocals and the magical aura of one of America’s greatest rock bands.

Joe Vadala is the founder of BOTE, producer and singer-songwriter and has performed nationally with artists such as Buzzy Linhart, La Bamba and the Hubcaps, Joey and the Works, Poetic Justice and more. Vadala also has performed as part of the premier house bands at the world-renowned Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ. Joe founded this group in 2012 and told Philadelphia Row Home Magazine that he assembled “a group of musicians he is proud, and fortunate, to be among. And over the years, the fans seem to agree.”

Joe Vadala will be joined by fellow respected musicians, John Bushnell (rhythm, lead and slide guitars, vocals), Jerry Steele (guitar, pedal steel, vocals), Dan “Dano” Miller (bass,vocals), Dave “Squiggy” Biglin (keyboard, vocals), and Anthony Krizan (drums, lead vocals).
