Rockit Fly Rocks The Alley to A Full House Saturday Night, In Sanford, Florida February 3, 2024

 

 

Saturday night is always a hopping night in Sanford, Florida as the bars and restaurants fill up with patrons who are looking to have a good time. The Alley on 114 S Park Ave is known for having great entertainment every weekend, and they were packed to the hilt. The reason they are so popular with bands and patrons is the great lighting and sound they produce on the stage. The Alley is owned by Christopher Johnson as well as Fuel BBQ which has great food next door and meals are available to order in The Alley.

  Rockit Fly was in the house and the dance floor was full as the audience danced to all the popular cover songs from their favorite 1990’s bands like Journey, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Billy Idol, and more.

Rockit Fly’s set consisted of 40 covers and an original “Nasty Complication,” off their newly released album Breakout. The band is one of central Florida’s finest with the unmatched vocals of lead singer Pedro Espada who has the incredible range to cover Journey’s catalog with ease. J Sterling McKeand handles the heavy leads from even songs by Metallica and Guns N Roses running his fingers up and down the frets in true metal fashion. On bass guitar, the steady Brad Lepp keeps the music in line with the other party of the rhythm section, drummer Emmette Hart keeping the beat with hair flying in all directions. Hart just updated his kit with the toms above the drums encasing him almost completely, very reminiscent of the late great Neil Peart.

Rockit Fly plays almost every Friday and Saturday night in Central Florida, so if a great time is what you’re looking for, check them out and get ready to shout, dance, and sing. Then extend your night and listen to their debut album Breakout on the way home!
