After expanding in 1994 to a 7-piece rock band, in 1996 the Springtown Horns joined the band and brought a whole new dimension to the music. Today, from the acoustic sounds of CSNY, to the rock and roll of the Beatles, Stones and U2, to the jazz rock of Chicago and Blood, Sweat and Tears, the M-Dock Band does it all. One of the most requested classic rock bands in the Midwest, the M-Dock Band appeared annually for many years before 60,000 people at Springfield’s “Firefall,” and has opened shows for The Little River Band, Jay Leno, Wayne Newton, The Platters, Moe Bandy, Legends in Concert and Tony Orlando. The M-Dock Band has truly traveled the world. • In 1999 and 2000, the full band played in Ixtapa, Mexico. • In June 2003, M-Dock appeared in concert at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. • In 2004 and again in 2013, the band performed in Springfield’s sister city, Isesaki, Japan. • In 2006, it was the Hard Rock Café in Guadalajara, Mexico and two public concerts in Springfield’s other sister city Tlaquepaque, Mexico. In 2019, the band returned and played 4 shows in 4 days in Tlaquepaque. • Each January-February for the past 22 years, members of the band have played benefit shows for the Sailfest/Por Los Ninos charity in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, raising money to furnish 21 school classrooms so far. For two years, the band has collaborated with the Ozarks Lyric Opera to present its annual Opera Rocks! concert. Lead singers for the Opera, Michael, Tara and Sean Spyres perform frequently with the band at other venues for fun! The band consists of Howard Cotner (vocals and acoustic guitar), Bill Evans (vocals, acoustic 6 and 12 string guitars, mandolin and harmonica), John Price (vocals, electric and acoustic guitars), Brent Hendrix (vocals, electric guitar and flute), Greg Hale (vocals, keyboards), Steve Quinn (saxophone), Bryant Robinson (trumpet), Bob Swanson (trombone), Scott Pope (bass guitar) and Dennis Winkle (drums).
