The SAHB Experience are a 5 piece outfit from Glasgow and are officially the UK's Number 1 tribute to Scottish legend's THE SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND.
Formed in 2014, the band have gone from strength to strength with numerous line-up changes and have performed in some of the biggest venues in the Scottish music scene.
The band first started out as ''The Resonators'' - a 5 piece Blues/Rock covers band playing mainly pubs in and around Glasgow and surrounding areas.
They were rapidly becoming one of the best bands around and in late 2013, the band were performing at The Ferry in Glasgow where James Hogg who runs the annual SAHBROCK event in Glasgow was in attendance and approached the band to play the event that year and play two well known SAHB songs - Amos Moses and Delilah which the band already played in their live set anyway. The band agreed and went down a storm and this lead to being asked to headline the concert the following year...but as a full on SAHB Tribute Band.
The guys were more than happy to put this together and see how it turned out and to everyone's surprise...it worked!.
Since then the band have headlined the gig every year and each year they have grown and the die-hard SAHB fans have accepted them as the best SAHB tribute and have performed sell out concerts - with the CHRISTMAS SHOWS 2016 being the most successful to date with sell out shows in both Glasgow & Edinburgh.
The Resonators shortly bowed out...and The SAHB Experience was born. The band have had several member changes since 2014, most recently with guitarist William McGonagle being replaced by Brian Cartwright on Guitar.

Andy Massie - Lead Vocals

Now into 2022 the band are still flying high, and gigs in the diary for the rest of the year and dates going into 2023.
