After 1000 Rockers performed ‘Learn to Fly by the Foo Fighters simultaneously in Cesena, Italy in 2015, the actual band played a gig in the town to honour their performance.
Late last year, The Rockin’ 1000 were back at it again with actually 1200 musicians (guitarists, singers, bassists, and drummers) recording an en masse cover of Nirvana’s ‘Smells like Teen Spirit’ in the open air. Powerful in numbers.
