Straight On - Heart Tribute Band

The Straight On Story....

Straight On is the dream child of the talented vocalist Monique Orban. She has spent years persistently & patiently searching for the right musicians to successfully recreate the music of the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s “Heart”.

In 2006, a talented guitarist Kevin Bennett answered Monique’s ad in a local music store looking to form a “Heart Tribute Band”. The classic musical bond of singer & guitarist was immediately formed but it proved to be a difficult challenge to find the right mix of people for the project. They continued to work together in several different classic rock bands but they always had the long term goal to perform together in a Heart Tribute Band. Eventually, circumstances forced the duo to go separate ways for a short period of time.

Fast forward to 2012: It was still Monique’s dream to form a Heart tribute band After several months searching for the right mix of musicians, Kevin & Monique were re-united to continue the project.

Straight On needed someone to do the challenging role of Nancy Wilson which requires a woman with a great voice & skill on both guitar and piano. The exceptionally talented Lori Davis answered the call & the nucleus of the band, fronted with two talented women, was formed. Add in three more incredibly talented musicians, Jerry Olinger (bass) & Drew Sodee (drums), Rick Earnhardt (keyboards) and Straight On was formed.

Straight On - Heart Tribute Band faithfully brings the music and spirit of “Heart" to audiences everywhere.
