The band features the living legend Corky Laing on drums and vocals, who hasn’t lost any of the

power and passion he has become known for. He is thrilled to be joined on stage by Richie “the

Emperor of Rock ‘n’ Roll” Scarlet on guitar (ex Ace Frehley’s Comet & Mountain) and the multi-

instrumentalist Mark Mikel (The Pillbugs & songwriter for Alan Parsons) on bass, keyboards, and

vocals.

still leads to the killer guitar lick that makes the ultimate rock classic; Mississippi Queen. The 50 th

anniversary of the Mississippi cowbell will also see the release of a new vinyl, Toledo Sessions, by

Corky Laing’s Mountain and Corky’s autobiography (first 50 years), Letters to Sarah will be

featured in book signing events concurrent with the shows.
