Far Cry - Classic Rock Covers At Their Best!!

Far Cry have been regularly playing the New Jersey club and bar circuit since August 1995, and the Far Cry name has been around for much longer than that. They are just about the only classic rock cover band still regularly gigging in the New Jersey area. Far Cry plays just about everything from The Allman Brothers to ZZ Top, from Black Sabbath to Stevie Ray Vaughan. If they know it and you want to hear it, there's a good chance they'll play it. Just to keep things interesting, they even sprinkle in some newer material like Alice In Chains and Stone Temple Pilots. At last count, they have a song list of almost 100 songs.
