THE JOE COCKER HITS – performed by Joe’s band

Rock legend Joe Cocker is no longer among the living, but his songs are immortal. Courtesy of band members Cliff Goodwin, Mitch Chakour and Deric Dyer which shared the stage for many years with Joe, the songs of Cocker are still alive. The band members wanted to keep the legacy alive for the fans, and perform the songs in the most authentic way possible. A ‘mission impossible’ you may think, because who can match the raw voice of Joe? Well, they found the English rock singer Elliot Tuffin, a singer who got most of his inspiration from Joe Cocker and has remarkable vocal similarities with his idol. This all makes ‘Cocker Rocks!’ a true reincarnation of the soul of Joe Cocker!

The podium style of the rock legend is easily matched by Elliot. Together with the three passionate band member from yesteryear and with some fresh musical blood, they bring Cocker hits like; ‘The Letter’, ‘Cry me a river’ ‘Don’t let me be misunderstood’, ‘You can leave your hat on’, ‘Night Calls’, ‘Up where we belong’, ‘When the night comes’ and ‘Unchain my heart’.

With sweltering guitars and the rough rock voice of Eliliot, the renaissance of Cocker’s repertoire is captured in the song ‘With a little help from my friends’. With this original Beatles song Joe Cocker scored a worldwide hit, and thanks to his friends Cliff, Mitch and Deric, millions of music lovers can still enjoy this song and many others live.
