From L1® Bands - Rivers West

Rivers West

Rivers West has been around since the very early days of the Bose L1 System. We're a 4 piece band playing Texas Classic Rock. What could be more "Classic" than two guitars, bass and drums, with three-part harmony?

Performing in Hotel Ballrooms, Corporate Events, Private Parties, Outdoor Stages for audiences of typically 100 - 200, sometimes more. We have cranked it up in the smallest of home living rooms and patios, and restaurants, all the way up to college football stadiums (we lined-out into a monster PA for those gigs!).

Show type: Corporate Events, Private Parties, Festivals

Using the L1® System since December 2003

Geographic location: North Texas

Notes about Rivers West

Popular mix of Beatles, Beach Boys, Eagles, Doobies, etc, and a little country - emphasis on three-part harmony, great for dancing and listening.

Bose L1® equipment

Four L1 Classics - 3 with 2 B1's, 1 with 1 B1, One T1

Comments about the L1® System

All of us have played in previous bands using traditional amplification, but we formed this group just as the Bose L1 system was introduced, so we have been an "L1 Band" since OUR Day One - wouldn't have it any other way!
