Their shows go beyond just music, featuring national-level sound, lighting, and special effects for a truly over-the-top concert experience.
Fronted by Andy Gonzales on vocals, with Dave Zettle on guitar, Bob “Flap” Welsch on bass, and Frankie Trash on drums, Cherry Pie keeps audiences singing, dancing, and having nothing but a good time from start to finish.
