About the This One's Pink:

A concept brought together by members Dustin Watters(Drums) and John McLoughlin(GuitarsVocals) from just a few jam sessions and the love of Pink Floyd's music. They were eventually joined by members Danny Gillman(GuitarsVocals), Steve Barnes(Bass GuitarVocals), and Paul Benes(KeyboardVocals) to collectively form Central Illinois' Premier Pink Floyd Tribute Experience! Spanning several years of the Pink Floyd catalog to cover some of the greatest Rock songs that should be in every music lovers collection. 

This One's Pink brings you a complete show including the lights, sounds and visual screen elements that have made Pink Floyd's style of music a memorable experience. Songs from The Wall, The Division Bell, Animals and even the number one Platinum album Dark Side of the Moon! This One's Pink plays them all! These guys have done their homework and have the proven chops that can truly bring you a one-of-a-kind experience that few others have been able to achieve. 

They have played theater stages, festival stages, including the Heart of Illinois Fair, the historic Apollo Theater in Peoria and even the small stage has been drenched in the sights and sounds of this tribute to one of the greatest rock groups in our history.
