The legendary classic rock band Head East has long set the standard for authentic, full-vocal, goodtime rock harmonies that few bands can equal. Their signature song, “Never Been Any Reason” with notable chorus “Save my life/I’m going down for the last time” has long been considered by many radio stations across the country as “The Rock & Roll National Anthem.” This year Head East will be celebrating their 50th anniversary by performing most cuts off their iconic record “Flat As A Pancake.”
