First October is a local cover and original band from the Miami / Ft Lauderdale area. This four piece band covers some classic but mostly current rock and alternative favorites. Fronted by Tammy B., this band covers some unlikely selections for a female voice. Bass player Tom Braga also shares with the lead vocals on any given night. This band will take you on a journey through the 70's, 80's 90's and land you with some brilliantly executed current songs. This band boasts a setlist that is diverse and unique for a cover band. First October plays some current and classic standards, but also draws you in with renditions of songs that you have never heard covered by most "bar bands". This band plays each cover as if were their own, while brilliantly maintaining the intergrity of the song. Tammy B. has a full, sultry voice and is solidly backed by the other members of the band, which includes the blistering guitar work of Francis Cast who will flows through both cover and original music, and Jay Cummings who has to be the most solid, yet hardest hitting, upbeat sounding backbeat of all time, both true Rockers First October is fortunate to have!.

Send a friend request.Great Sounds! Great Versions! Surprised to finally find a band in my area that go back in time and find great songs to play today. Best cover band I've seen and heard in South Florida.
If you guys ever decide to record original tunes, contact me as I would be honored to have you record some of my songs to showcase on both our pages.
Take care and keep up the great work!!Hey, First October:
First off, is that Tammy in that pumpkin patch? If so, va-va-va voom!
On to the music: Every one of your covers are favorite songs and bands of mine, great choice of material and well done. Hella good take on No Doubt and also enjoyed "Smells Like Teen Spirit." "Creep" is my favorite, I've always loved that song.
Since you're into Radiohead, I'm sure you'd like my original alternative tune "If I Only Had A Brain" which just jumped into the top 100 of Soundclick's Classic Rock charts. You can hear it and other catchy originals of mine at my Soundclick site.
Let me know when you guys play my stomping ground of Myrtle Beach, about 2 states north of you. I like your voice. I'm tempted to collaborate with you on upcoming songs of mine. I'll be adding you to my stations. Keep up the good work.

hey there,
im not generally into cover bands infact i kinda slate them alot......... but!
i think you have swayed me as you have an amazing choice of songs and you seem to have added your own feel and sound to all the songs loved each and everyone of them but creep.... i have creep on repeat,
keep up the good work
check out my site too theres a 20 track album of mixed genres of music and would love your opinions on what you thought where good n bad points.... maybe collaborate in the future (as i cant say im too keen on my own vocals so end up recording alot of instrumentals) -TWIN-GHOST-All comments (11)
