Meat Loaf’s music will live forever. His first album—Bat Out Of Hell sold 43 million copies and is one of the top three selling debut albums of all time!! Sold out arenas were a testimony to his drawing power and now Paradise—The Meat Loaf Tribute is continuing his legacy. Using no backing tracks or harmonizers, Paradise authentically recreates the music and theatrics that made Meat Loaf the legend he became. Lead singer Westside Steve Simmons (from Cleveland's legendary Easy Street Band) faithfully captures Meat Loaf's powerful, wide ranging operatic vocals. He is joined by Kearsten Kopf playing the part of Meat Loaf’s dynamic female vocalists Ellen Foley & Patti Russo. These two talented lead vocals are backed up by well-known local musicians Rick Usko on lead guitar, Jim Madden & Tim Longfellow on keyboards, Bob Martin on bass guitar, Ronnie Gillard on drums and Akron's Matthew Alec on sax.
