Got the One Night with Head East CD last week. Ordered it before Christmas but it was back ordered. Well worth the wait! You guys sound great! Looking forward to seeing you guys in concert again sometime soon! Keep rockin'!
Dag Bystrom Ashland, WI - Monday, February 6, 2012
I heard your song, Never Been Any Reason, today for the first time in 15 years. What a classic! I can today, relate to it like never before, (separating from wife). This song has been a total rock out forever. So glad to have heard it again. Brings back so many memories.... Too cool.
Don Wellmeier Dayton, OH - Saturday, February 4, 2012
Got to see you guys in Gainesville, FL 30+ years ago. Hope you make it back someday. One of my favorite concerts of all time!
Alan Butcher Micanopy, FL - Friday, February 3, 2012

Wendy Skola Santa Fe, NM - Saturday, January 28, 2012
Had a chance to see you in Jacksonville, FL ... I think it was spring of 1976, with Ted Nugent and Robin Trower. Great concert. You will always be one of my favorite bands. Thanks for the great music!!!
Marc S. Rogers Watertown, NY - Wednesday, January 25, 2012
My wife and I just saw you in concert on January 14th a the Northern Lights Casino, and you guys were fantastic. I couldn't stick around for an autograph as I had about a 3 hour drive ahead of me. The wife really enjoyed the concert. I want to thank you for playing some really good music. Have a nice year.
Dale L Pionk Eveleth, MN - Saturday, January 21, 2012
Been listening to you guys since I was a baby.. my mom who died in 94 at 44 years old loved you guys... I have great memories with your music as a background.. When i think of good times... Head East was rockin the soundtrack... Hope you guys come close so I can see you... We have a music fest in Crestone, Colorado every year... Who knows maybe we can get you guys here.... Keep rockin.
Mark Ray Crestone, CO - Wednesday, January 18, 2012
You guys were great, and the thing that stands out is how you all came out and interacted with the crowd after the show. I met Darren and Jill, the Walkers. They were both great, looking forward to the next show. Keep rockin and don't grow old.
Donaovn Haaland Bena, MN - Sunday, January 15, 2012
Saw the show at the Northern Lights Casino in Walker, MN 01/14/2012. WOW.... what a "Amazing" show!! You bring the rock & roll machine to life. A great way to start off the new year. LOVE the new CD too. Much success in the future and lets hope your music gets aire time with your new tunes. ROCK ON DUDES!! Peace out.
GP Wadena, MN - Sunday, January 15, 2012
Thanks for an awesome show last night;) \m/
Lisa Sunde Park Rapids, MN - Sunday, January 15, 2012
You guys are the greatest. The soundtrack for my youth. When are you comming to Tulsa? I write for the TCC Connection, check us out on Facebook. There is an amazing amount of young people interested in classic rock and you guys define that term.
Mark Roe Tulsa, OK - Friday, January 13, 2012
Saw you guys several times in the late 70s in Wichita, KS. The Lawyers, Guess Who and you guys. $7. Best concert I've ever seen for pure fun. Good times. Absolutely stole me away with Take a Hand. Never seen a show open like that. "You had me at hello". Being a singer and guitar player in a garage band, loved what you guys did as you embodied the essence of the times and heart of growing up in the Midwest. Mike, you're soulful guitar work was spot on. Cheers, guys. And God bless.
Brad Fisher Portland, OR - Tuesday, January 10, 2012
The 1st time I heard this band I was waiting to be shipped off to Germany by way of the U.S. Air Force in 1977. My brother was a bar tender in Cocoa Bch, Florida. He would get demo copies from the D.J.'s that played dance music in his bar. He brought it home and I was blown away by how good this band is and why you guys didn't become as big as say Styx or Foreigner. I had a sansui stereo receiver that I would put a set of head phones on and burn a fatty and drift away. Thanks for the memories. This is the first time in over 34 yrs that I heard these songs and I still remember the words, for the most part anyway!
Tim Stamant Tampa, FL - Tuesday, January 10, 2012
I've been a big fan of yours for years. I didn't know you were still playing. Let me know when you play Indiana again. You rock!!!
Ed Barton Marion, IN - Sunday, January 8, 2012
We are SO excited to see you guys in Walker, MN!! Styx and Head East were/are my favorite bands EVER....and now I will have seen you both!! WHoOp Whoop!
Cheri ONeill Detroit Lakes, MN - Wednesday, January 4, 2012
We'll see you in Walker, we wore your records out in the Marines, I still have your albums on my telephone. Seen you in St. Cloud in 1981, It was so crowded you guys let us use your table while you were playing.
Lee Bundy Pine River, MN - Wednesday, January 4, 2012
Awesome band. Glad you're still rockin'. When are you coming to Maryland???
Janet Boyds, MD - Sunday, January 1, 2012
See you in Walker, MN
Terrance Adams Redby, MN - Wednesday, December 28, 2011
Great band, too bad no touring dates in the Houston, TX area.
Gatorcrock Houston, TX - Tuesday, December 27, 2011
U guys have got to play n. California !!!! U guys helped lead the mid seventies in the best rock and roll ever produced!!! Gotta keep the music alive!!
R. Hermanson Sacramento, CA - Friday, December 23, 2011
Hey guys how goes it? I used to be with a band named Cold Shot in the late 80s and we opened for you guys. This is back when Kurt was with you and he was actually a pretty good friend of our band. I have always liked your music and we use to cover a few of your songs back in the day. Best of luck to you all and keep on rocking... I just released a CD a few months back and I am working on my next. Gotta keep the music alive!
David Virgil Charleston, SC - Wednesday, December 21, 2011
Head East Rocks, I've seen them live 34 times since 1976.
Mike Quinn Rockford, IL - Sunday, December 18, 2011
Would love it if you would come back to ND.
Becky Huber Westhope, ND - Saturday, December 17, 2011
The new stuff looks and sounds great! I gotta get me that new cd and dvd! It's about time Head East is on DVD! Cheers mates!
Timexx "Nasty" Seabaugh Cape Girardeau, MO - Wednesday, December 14, 2011
I saw you guys open for Little Feat / Dave Mason in Philadelphia in what I believe was your first Phila show. Man that was fun! I think you were a late addition to the bill cause you took me by surprise... in more ways than one.
Bruce Werner San Francisco, CA - Tuesday, November 29, 2011
Back in 1982 my brother came home from Iowa State College with the Flat As A Pancake record. I loved it, we were living in N.Y. at the time close to the city. I know there are New Yorkers and since then southerners that really enjoy Head East songs. THANKS !!
Tom Monck Knightdale, NC - Monday, November 28, 2011
Flat as a Pancake is my all time favorite!!!!!
Debi LaLonde Gilbert, AZ - Monday, November 28, 2011
Saw the band at Winterland (SF) back in 75? On the bill with Bebop Deluxe and Rush. Was hooked before that when I heard NBAR on the old KSFM station out of Sacto. Saw them again at the Old Waldorf in SF in 78-79. Promoting A Different Kind of Crazy. You guys along with a few other bands formed the soundscape of my youth and I thank you. Love to see Get Youself Up (Hey Victim..whats up?) on CD along with 'Crazy' and 'Live'.
Mark (Boo) Bowie Concord, CA - November 21, 2011
Just listened to "Love Me Tonight" with the perfect buzz and remembered when you opened for Aerosmith and Kansas at Memorial Hall in Kansas City thirty seven years ago, give or take a few years. Thanks for writing music that has withstood the test of time.
Rich McCoy Shawnee Mission, KS - November 15, 2011
I'm already 50, great to find you again after all these years.
Mikael Karenius Tammisaari, Finland - Saturday, November 12, 2011
Love the music. Still hopeful for the live album to come out on CD/DVD. Enjoying your music into my older age, Ha Ha. Thanks for the sounds.
David Hill Luling, LA - Saturday, November 12, 2011
Hi Head East...I'm originally from St. Louis where your music was played often on KSHE -95. Me and my family are huge fans. Alice Cooper plays "Never been any Reason" often on nights with Alice Cooper aired here in Calgary...suppose one of the band members is his staff...good job! Thanks for the memories.
Cindy Sobo Calgary, Alberta, Canada - Tuesday, November 8, 2011
From time to time I sign in and thank all of you fans who have been following Head East since the early days. You are great fans and we really owe our success to you. Many of you mention where you first saw the band and it always brings back such fond memories for me and I'm sure I speak for Roger and John. Thanks Head East fans!
Steve Huston Houston, TX - Saturday, November 5, 2011
Great to see Roger and the Boys still Rockin! I am a bassist of 30 plus years now and I remember seeing Head East in Topeka, KS around 1979 and the first Bass Solo I ever learned was the "Never Been Any Reason " Solo break! Good to see you guys!
Kurt Morrow Denton, TX - Friday, November 4, 2011
I've been listening and watching you guys since the early days. I first saw you in concert either in Rockford or Madison long about 1974-75.
Mike Liebenstein Pearl City, IL - Friday, November 4, 2011
Straight up rock n roll, thanks a million.
Randy Hughes Fort Walton Beach, FL - Thursday, November 3, 2011
I have been a huge fan of "Head East" since the early 70's and have enjoyed their music ever since. Would like to see them in California if they get a chance to come north of L.A. in the valley; either in Fresno, Sacramento, and/or in Bakersfield, California. Thank you for keeping the music alive. And your website is much appreciated. Thanks Roger for "rockin on" and look forward to seeing one of your concerts.
Keeping rock and roll alive, Tanya Smith-Mitchell Fresno, CA - Thursday, October 27, 2011
I was researching looking for the Head East Live! from 1979 and found out that it hasn't been released on CD. Good thing for me I have the original recording on Vinyl. This is actually one of my favorite concert LP's. I really thought I knew my bands and where they where from and was ashamed to find out you started in the same place another favorite was from (REO Speedwagon). What makes it really bad is I have roots in Champaign County, My mother is from there as well as my wife of 30 years. Maybe one day we will get to see you even though it wouldn't be the same, but it's still your music. I know what I just wrote is trivial but just thought you might like to know. Thanks for all the good memories in music throughout my life, I'm a drummer at heart and learning the guitar because I drive a truck, It's something to do to keep music in my blood besides listening. Enough said again thanks for all the good times I had listening to your work.
James "Gator" Moore Lake City, FL - Sunday, October 23, 2011
I'm glad to see Head East is still around...I hope that you guys can make it to Southern California!!!! I'll be the first in line for tickets!!!
Ron Sullivan Anaheim Hills, CA - Monday, October 17, 2011
You're the greatest, rock on man.

This is such a wonderful page. I have been a fan of Head East for years.
Kim Gardner Richwood, WV - Saturday, October 8, 2011
Grew up listening to your music. Would love to see you guys live.
Joe Snyder Coeur d' Alene, ID - Friday, October 7, 2011
I love the song Never Been Any Reason; I used to listen to it all the time with my stepdad when I was little; he passed away this past March and it always brings back lots of memories.
Teresa Luttrell Noblesville, IN - Friday, October 7, 2011
Hey guys - glad I found your page!! A fan since my teens, I'm now almost 48 yrs old. Glad to see we're all still around! Please come to central PA & give us one of these great shows I've been sitting here reading about. There aren't many bands that I want to see but haven't and you are top of the list! Love Me Tonight - greatest Head East song ever!!!! Thanx for all the great tunes and please come to central PA. Lifelong fan.
p.s. - full length cd of live album instead of chopped up Live On Stage version would be AWSOME!!!!
Neil Thumma New Cumberland, PA - Wednesday, October 5, 2011
Wow, I actually met one of your drummers on 9/30/2011 by the name of Dan Odum. He was really down to earth and a very kind man, I grew up hearing your albums as a kid and really took a liking to your music. To this very day I love jamming out to the Live album, its loud and rockin and makes me feel like a kid eveytime. I am only 35 but I really appreciate that style of music and it never grows old, hope the rest of the band members are all well. Keep rockin loud and proud!!
Christina Daily Naples, FL - Saturday, October 1, 2011
My favorite song is "One Night" :)
Sam Mock Ware, MA - Tuesday, September 27, 2011
My friends and I were all hanging out on the front porch the other night, tunes cranked from inside the house so we could hear outside. I was asking for requests as an album ended, and my friend said how about some Head East? Cool! I said as I put on Since You Been Gone and we all sang along. Then I was able to tell about seeing the band live in a small bar near Biloxi, MS called the Shy-Anne around 1985. I took lots of 35mm pictures back then and still have them in an album somewhere. Nice to recall the fun old memories while making some new ones with my friends. Keep on rockin'!
Chuck Longlois Ravena, NY - Sunday, September 25, 2011
Nice to see you're still goin'. Bought Gettin' Lucky years ago...........
Pete Beard Colchester, England - Friday, September 23, 2011
Grew up in So. IL. I still vividly remember the first time I heard "Never Been Any Reason" playing on an 8 track in a Venture Store in Fairmont City (E. St. Louis) in 1975. I somehow came up with the money to buy it on the same day. In 1977 I was in the Army in Alaska and I couldn't believe most of my comrades had never heard you guys yet. What is totally amazing is that I have seen almost every major act to come out of the 70's and you guys were my favorites for years and years and I've still not seen a live show. Well I still rock out even though I'm well into my 50's. Hope to catch you out west sometime, I rarely visit the STL area anymore.
Ken Maliszewski Bishop, CA - Monday, September 19, 2011
Awesome show in Waterloo, Iowa Friday night - Head East was the best band there !!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a rockin show at the Blue Springs Ranch in Bourbon, MO on labor day weekend! Strikeforce, Head East, and Foghat! What a killer line-up of great classic rock bands. All 3 bands rocked the concert and it was the best Labor Day weekend a rocker could ask for! Lots of fans there would like to see Head East and Strikeforce in concert again! What a show! Keep rockin Head East!

Blue Springs is one of my favorite camping places to go. I had the added pleasure of seing your concert there this past weekend, and you guys were great! You out shined the lead band and so many said they wished there were more time in your performance. I just wanted to say thanks for making it a great holiday!
Christine Merrick Ellisville, MO - Tuesday, September 6, 2011

Dean Marlin Cahokia, IL - Tuesday, September 6, 2011
Hello! Very good web site and informative too! You played at the Grand Opening for the Danville Civic Center. I was a Senior in HS at the time and it was a big deal that Danny Odum was in the band since he had ties from Danville. I was not well informed on your history and I always thought you were more of a band originally from Champaign and always bragged to my friends not from Illinios (I've been in FL. for 22 yrs) when a Head East song came on. I said you were from my home town area, Danville/Champaign. Now that I am more informed I won't say that, but I'm still proud you originated in the midwest and I still love your music, just I'm more informed now! Take care, ROCK ON!!
Cathy Butler Tampa, FL - Monday, September 5, 2011
Thank You guys so much for doing such an amazing show for our little town. Yesterday was my birthday, I have never been to a concert before and so my fiance John got a babysitter for the kids and thanks to you all and him I had the best night and birthday I could ask for. So once again Thank You and You guys ROCKED hard.
Ashley Strube Bourbon, MO - Sunday, September 4, 2011
Never Been Any Reason is one of the greatest songs ever recorded.

Chris Carriere Norton Shores, MI - Saturday, September 3, 2011
Grew up listening to your music back in 70s and wish new artists sounded as good as you guys. I've seen you perform in Merill and Lac Du Flambeau and thank god for midwestern rock! I am looking for cds and t-shirts, have any ideas. Thanks.
Ted Carlson Rhinelander, WI - Friday, September 2, 2011
Being from Roger's hometown, I first met him at the age of 9 when he was my little league coach. A few years later I became good friends with their "super roadie" Stanley Gill. A friend of mine is a 1st cousin to Steve Huston. FYI, Roger's mom could blow him away on piano! Remember the Milestone and keep rockin'!
Michael Lake Carlyle, IL - Tuesday, August 30, 2011
Head East Rocks!
Terry Surratt Saturday, August 27, 2011
Having grown up in Florissant, MO, I have been a fan of Head East since the mid-70s. Saw you in concert at the SuperJam at Busch Stadium probably in '77 or '78. Had lunch with Roger just prior to that show (he was dating a good friend of mine at the time) and he was so excited that the band would be entering the stage to the Star Wars theme. Fun memories and good show! Glad we all made it and are doing well. Keep it going and I hope to see the band again some time.
Bob White Grayson, GA - Thursday, August 25, 2011
Sorry we missed connections at the IL State Fair. Would love to catch up with you - maybe another time? Keep in touch and take care guys.

It is always great to see all of you. Words cannot even come close to explaining what all of you mean to me, Jill and our foundation, The Breannas Smile Foundation (http://www.breannassmile.org). I have had the opportunity to get to know all of you and your families and consider each and everyone of you a part of my extended family-you all mean so much to us. Not only are you all talented but even more important to us--you are great people. Thanks for all the memories and looking forward to creating more. You all are the BEST!!
Craig, Jill and the extended family of The Breannas Smile Foundation Woodbury, MN - Wednesday, August 17, 2011
I'm a new friend of Eric Wendler and enjoying listing to Head East again. It's a shame I didn't take sociology at SIUE.
Tom Wilkerson Collinsville, IL - Tuesday, August 16, 2011
Roger, will see you at the Illinois State Fair Aug. 19th. Still remember HE and Greg Khin 1982, hey tell Greg and Darren to check out Dave Wendler guitars and a shout out to Eddy, rock on!
Eric Wendler Edwardsville, IL - Monday, August 15, 2011
Great to see you guys again last weekend. Great show! You guys rock!
Dag Bystrom Ashland, WI - Monday, August 15, 2011
Anyone remember the band playing at MaGoo's Night Club in Minnesota, back in the early 1980's? They rocked the house down and were also very professional to work with. As the night club owner, I strongly recommend Head East to anyone who may be interested in booking them.
Jill Kummer Sequim, WA - Sunday, August 14, 2011
Heard some of your older stuff online from an american radio station and it brought back some good vibes, lol. Too bad I can't find your music up here. Cheers, Dale.
Dale Gerner Toronto, Ontario, Canada - August 12, 2011
Greg, Darren, Ed, Glen, and Roger. Had a great time at that bar in Lewiston. You guys blew us away. I've been listening to the CD (lots) and a song on there really started growing on me. Greg.... So Long Lady kicks butt. Hope you don't mind, but I think we are going to try it in our little podunk band. Will you come and sing it at our gigs? Just kidding.. Can't wait until you guys Head West again. I'll be there. Thanks for the great time.
Denny Lewiston, ID - Friday, August 12, 2011
Never been any reason to stop listening to Head East! I've been hooked since I first heard Pancake back in high school in 1974. Head East Live is in my top three all time best live albums. Get Yourself Up is one of the best albums ever put out and also one of the best album covers! Didn't get to see the band live until the self-titled/roadsign tour where we arrived several hours before show time to wait in line for a great spot. And it was so worth it! Head East puts the "classic" in classic rock. Keep on rockin Roger and co.!!!
Randy "The Victim" Fernandez Spring, TX - Thursday, August 11, 2011
You remind me of how great that summer of '75 was. I wore out an 8 track and cassette of Flat As A Pancake. Thanks guys.
Dan Weber Richmond, VA - Thursday, August 11, 2011
I have enjoyed Head East music since high school. Roger is a class act, and the band members are always great with the fans after each concert. I have attended 11 Head East concerts in my lifetime, and I hope to attend many more in the future. Keep up the great work!
Dean Vigna Coal City, IL - Tuesday, August 9, 2011
Hi Roger and Head East! Strikeforce looks forward to playing with you guys again on Saturday, Sept. 3rd in Bourbon, MO with Foghat! Strikeforce really enjoyed playing with you guys last year at the El Paso Cornfest! See ya Sept. 3rd, Strikeforce, Foghat and Head East together this labor day in concert! Its gonna rock!
Duke Jackson Collinsville, IL - Tuesday, August 9, 2011
Can't wait to see you guys at the Illinois State Fair on the 19th. Don't forget to sing "Never Been Any Reason" my favorite!! :-)
Marsha Delach Joliet, IL - Tuesday, August 9, 2011
Loved the concert Friday night at Too Broke for Sturgis in LC Valley. You guys should've stayed and played Saturday night too, it would've been better than Black Oak Arkansas. We wouldn't of left then and would of been able to enjoy our Saturday night too. You will have to come back soon and not wait so long between shows here. Keep Rockin \../
Misty Clarkston, WA - Monday, August 8, 2011
I have always loved Never Been Any Reason from Flat as a Pancake. I have that album on 8-track. Were only 500 8-tracks made of that album?
David Maugans Cherryvale, KS - Saturday, August 6, 2011
Boys: Awesome show (August 5th) in Lewiston. Couldn't have sounded and looked better! Keep up the great work!!!! Old and new songs were fantastic, you guys really gelled!!! Best of everything in the upcoming years.

Lori Kifer Florissant, MO - Thursday, August 4, 2011
Hi Roger, remember me? The keyboard player and lead singer from Antics. We're still giggin' too. We did about 11 jobs together with Head East. Love to see you again in Springfield.
