In a rock ‘n’ roll spectacle that left fans roaring for more, Chevy Metal, the renowned cover band led by the late Taylor Hawkins, took the stage on a Monday night at the Rock N Roll Pizza Bar in Simi Valley, California. And to make the night even more legendary, Dave Grohl, one of Hawkins’ fellow rock comrades from Foo Fighters, stepped into the spotlight to join the ensemble for a heart-pounding set of classic rock hits. The event was nothing short of a sonic feast, and lucky attendees had the chance to witness this unique convergence of rock royalty.
Captured through the lens of Andi K. Taylor, the electrifying photos from the show showcase the raw energy and undeniable chemistry between the musicians on stage.
The rock ‘n’ roll journey led the audience through an exhilarating playlist that spanned across decades of rock history.

No classic rock tribute would be complete without a nod to the electric energy of Van Halen, and that’s exactly what Chevy Metal delivered with their spirited performance of “Everybody Wants Some!!” The unmistakable riffs and adrenaline-soaked beats had the audience on their feet, and the spirit of Van Halen was undoubtedly present in every note.
The rock ‘n’ roll odyssey then took a groovy detour with a rendition of Spinal Tap’s “Jazz Odyssey,” showcasing not only the band’s musical prowess but also their playful and eclectic taste. Led Zeppelin’s “Moby Dick” brought a thunderous rhythm that echoed the heartbeat of the crowd, while Queen’s “Tie Your Mother Down” transformed the venue into a chorus of passionate voices.

And as if the night couldn’t get any more remarkable, Taylor Hawkins’ own son, Shane, took his place behind the drum kit, carrying on the family legacy of rhythm and music. The rhythm was further elevated with the contributions of drumming virtuosos Gregg Bissonette and Stephen Perkins.
Chevy Metal’s electrifying presence was no stranger to the grand stage, having previously performed at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in London.
