As the nation’s premiere tribute to U2, The Joshua Tree pride themselves with their ability to generate a unique musical experience that does not lend itself to impersonations. Without compromising artistic integrity, the band has gone to great lengths to reproduce the distinct sound of one of the world’s most popular rock bands. Unique to The Joshua Tree is their dedication to the entire U2 songbook, including early fan favorites from the 1980-1987 period (Boy, October, War, The Unforgettable Fire, and The Joshua Tree). 

Playing each song with the same intensity and emotion, the band covers all phases of U2’s career from their first album, Boy, to the most recent, Songs of Innocence.

Living On A Bad Name is uniquely set apart from the other Bon Jovi tribute bands and frankly from almost all other tribute acts available on the market today. Each night they give it their all. They treat every stage as if it's Madison Square Garden in 1986. They leave nothing behind. Every night, every show is played like an 80s rock concert is supposed to be played. "You won't believe your eyes. Your eyes will not believe your ears.." - Bon Jovi  "Last Man Standing"​

Our musicianship starts out with the masterful guitar playing of Ethan Brosh. Ethan is a world renowned recording artist with profound influence in the heavy metal guitar world. This Berklee College of Music wizard  has guest artists on his records such as: George Lynch of Dokken, Dave Ellefson of Megadeth, Mike Mangini of Dream Theater, "Satchel" of Steel Panther, Greg Howe among others. Boston radio personality Ken Pittman performs the part of Jon Bon Jovi. Unlike  other JBJ tribute vocalists who go for the easier post 2000 version, Ken zeroes in on the vintage and distinct1980s Bon Jovi voice. With Ken's son Keith on percussions (since he was 12!), veteran rockers John Miker and Scott Poole on bass and keyboards, this roster is Rock-solid.​

The impersonation is peerless, the energy, tones, sounds, musicianship and chemistry in this band has to be seen and heard to be believed.
