About THE Tone Merchants Band
Our Story
“Sam [Sammy Hagar] throws a party. I am the party.” – David Lee Roth.
We like to think of ourselves as a David Lee Roth in a Sammy Hagar world. So, when life gives you lemons, add vodka and be the party.
With four voices, 16 strings, and a cowbell, the Tone Merchants is a five-piece Raleigh-based cover band celebrating the artists behind the greatest guitar-driven, high-energy rock songs because the Triangle isn’t going to rock itself!
The Tone Merchants formed in 2023 from a collection of sarcastic rock nerds who met through a Craigslist ad and couldn’t get enough of Tom Petty, Van Halen, and Chris Stapleton. Our unique entertainment fuses three-part harmonies with tight rhythms and witty stage banter, making you want to sing, dance, and stomp.
The Tone Merchants are currently accepting bookings and would be thrilled to be the life of your next party.
