Unrighteous Brothers Home Page

Welcome to the Unrighteous Brothers Home Page, here you will find invaluable information concerning the "the areas oldest do-wop garage band". We may not be the Beatles or Rolling Stones but at least we enjoy what we do and hopefully provide a helping hand to the community. Unlike the the "Fab Four" abd the Stone we are 100% American.

We are a 4-man band that performs a very eclectic selection of oldies. You never know what the next song will be when we perform, because it could be a hard rockin' classic, an old show tune, a favorite ballad from yester-year, or some other oldie. Our play list varies from show to show but always features everyones favorite blasts from the past. Every once in a while you might even catch us doing a song with a real melody or even a little bit of four part harmony.

Our line up hasn't changed since 1989 and includes Stan "Good Neighbor" McMorris, Jim "Bones" McKechnie, Bill "Slick Willie" Lair, and Bob "Dr. Rock" Jorstad.

1998 Performances

Currently, we are rehearsing in preparation for our 1998 world tour. We are developing our ouw unique arrangements of several new tunes for the enjoyment of our fans. In early February we performed at benefit in Sullivan, Illinois with Ronnie D and his band. This was sort of a warm-up for this years tour.
