About the Band
Awesome Express is a dynamic, award winning rock band, (musicians aged 15-17), from MetroWest Boston, that have torn the roof off many famous venues in New England and New York with their enthusiasm, musicianship and energy. The members of Awesome Express include Charles Winston, age 15, lead vocals & keyboard, , Charles Coleman, age 17, guitar & vocals, Kyle Coulter, age 15, bass guitar, and Shaqed Druyan, age 16, drums. The band came together in late 2009 through the local non-profit teen band program “Plugged In,” which places teens together for 10 weeks to make music and use their music to help others. After just a short time of playing together, they realized that they had something special. They entered a battle of the bands and won.
Awesome Express is passionate and dedicated about bringing back the classic sound of rock and roll from the ’60’s and ‘70’s, and are influenced by Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Queen. Performing original music and classic cover songs, they bring audiences to their feet. In addition to performing at many charitable and local events, they have performed at noteworthy venues such as: The Red Room @Cafe 939, Boston MA, The Boston Hard Rock Cafe, Middle East Downstairs and Upstairs, Ryles Jazz Club, Johnny D’s, The Center for the Performing Arts in Natick, The Sad Café, The Topsfield Fair 2012, The Boston Common, Harvard Square Music Festival, The Raven, the Joan Norton Stadium, Firehouse 13 (Providence, RI) the newly renovated Needham Town Hall, UMass Lowell Fox Hall, Real School of Music, (Burlington, MA) and Slate Club (NYC) and The Bitter End, NYC |
