PolyChrome – definition: being of many or various colors.
Created in 2009, this extremely experienced pop/rock trio lives up to their name. Not only have the members, Sean Bera - Vocals and Guitar, Mark Lynch - Drums, and Perry Mabry – Bass Guitar, come... from diverse and colorful musical backgrounds ranging from the Mountains of Virginia to the streets of Philadelphia & Baltimore, but they know how to produce a colorful array of sound on the stage as well.
The crowd is taken on a musical journey… Show more from one song to the next as PolyChrome explores genres from the 60’s Beatles, to the 80’s Men at Work, to the present with Gavin DeGraw or even Ke$ha. Add some rejuvenated renditions of Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” or Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love” and the PolyChrome effect becomes unmistakable.
Recently voted "Best Local Band" by both Roanoke's City Magazine and
The Roanoke Times Music Poll, PolyChrome is as in tune with their audience as a band can be. The members of the band take time to talk to the crowd between sets and listen to each thought, idea, and request, so that future events can be even better and more personalized to the listeners.
PolyChrome has an original 14-song CD entitled "All County Champs" that is as diverse as the artists they cover onstage. The songs are a blend of everything the band has grown up around over the past two decades, which has allowed the members of PolyChrome to share the stage with such a wide range of artists as: Great White, Quiet Riot, and L.A. Guns, to Coal Chamber, to Sister Hazel and Bowling for Soup.
A highly entertaining stage presence, complete with self-ridiculing humor, and both individual and crowd participation, will no doubt have you asking yourself, “Why haven’t I heard of these guys before?”. You may even wonder if your iPod was borrowed to create the set list for the night!
