About the Band
HOTEL CALIFORNIA – The Eagles Tribute From Canada.
For over three decades now HOTEL CALIFORNIA have been recreating the legendary sound of THE EAGLES, and thrilling audiences all over the world. The band set the bar in 1986, and they’ve remained the industry leading substitute for The Eagles ever since. Playing to huge outdoor and arena audiences, sharing bills with some of rock’s legends, and going places no tribute band has gone before. A long run by any measure, but it begs the question - what makes HOTEL CALIFORNIA so special? Well, incredible lead vocal similarity, intensely accurate instrumental work, soaring harmonies, and top flight live performances, just for starters. These are the band’s hallmarks, and the foundation on which their reputation has been built. With over a century of collective professional experience in the band today, they’re still going stronger than ever!
The band also offers tons of value-added promotional support and materials to every client, and the confidence that industry insiders have in them has made HOTEL CALIFORNIA one of the world’s most accomplished tribute productions. You can check them out any time you like, but you’ll never want to leave.
If you love The Eagles, then welcome to the Hotel California – you’ve just found the next-best thing.
More About The Band
When The Eagles stopped to catch their breath a few decades ago, having sold over 100 million records, collected six Grammy’s, and enjoyed six #1 albums, Hotel California began a pioneering journey through their history-making music that has taken them around the globe and thrilled hundreds of thousands of Eagles fans. It’s been a journey they could never have imagined back in 1986, but their dedication, unique musical gifts, and an obsessive commitment to doing this legendary music true justice in performance, set them apart from the many Eagles bands that came after them. Hotel California toured relentlessly from the 80’s straight through to today, setting the standard for world-class tribute productions as they went, and sharing stages with the likes of The Doobie Bros., Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gretchen Wilson, REO Speedwagon, and many more.
From Japan to Dubai, Toronto to Texas, Hotel California has boldly taken the tribute band where none had gone before them, and changed an industry’s collective mind about how good a “tribute” band could really be. Today Hotel California continues to tour internationally, and their stage show has evolved into one of the most impressive and popular productions on the North American soft-seat and festival circuits. Featuring original members within their strongest lineup to date, the band is enjoying what they do today more than ever, and it sure sounds like it! It won’t take you long to hear why legions of Eagles fans
come back to see them time after time, and the top venues & festivals have them back again and again. The easy-going warmth that comes from the band onstage exemplifies the Southern California sound of the 1970’s. The experience of a Hotel California show isn’t just about the band – it’s about celebrating the music and the memories, and the band gets the audiences involved and on their feet! Close your eyes and you’re right back there.The members of Hotel California have also performed in many other touring bands, such as The Guess Who, April Wine, Glass Tiger, Coney Hatch, and Foot In Cold Water.

Schuler kan ofte bli funnet opptre med ulike medlemmer av Denver band, som undre seg på likheten og pitch-perfekt klang i Ricks vokal. Schuler sier at kritikere ikke forsto John da han levde. “De trodde han var Pollyanna og overfladisk, men det de ikke grep, er den dype, dype sjelflytten i musikken hans. Han hadde mye smerte i livet sitt, og han uttrykte den smerten i slike vakre melodier, som også tappet inn i andres smerte og snakket med smerten til en generasjon. Av alle sangene hans synger jeg, det er 'Sunshine' som får flere til å gråte enn noen av dem. "

Dessuten er det i teksten til "Rocky Mountain High" hvisking av en protestlåt, som en betimelig melding nå enn noensinne. Og på typisk Denver-måte, kommer protesten i form av å forene mennesker i ånd, snarere enn å dele dem. "Det er en linje der inne" hvorfor de prøver å rive fjellene ned for å få inn et par flere, flere mennesker mer arr på landet, "sier Schuler. "John stoppet OL fra å komme til Aspen på grunn av det, så Denver sang mange protestsanger, spesielt om krigen i Vietnam."

“Den aller første gangen Johns manager fra 80-tallet, Doug Belscher, møtte meg i Aspen, uttrykte han sin forbløffelse over hvor slående jeg likte hans kjære venn. Siden den tid og før har jeg hatt mange mennesker i nærheten av John som uttrykker sine erfaringer som dette. Jeg føler meg dypt knyttet til John, ikke bare gjennom musikken hans og tekstene hans, men også fordi vi begge er følsomme sjeler. Som kristen tror jeg veldig på Gud, og jeg tror på superintensjon, og det er ting som vi kanskje ikke helt forstår, men jeg tror det er bevis overalt. ”

Det har gått over 20 år siden Denver gikk bort, og Schuler sier at han husker sorgen han følte den dagen, men han erkjenner også at han ble dypt mystisk rørt av Gud. "Jeg husker at jeg skjønte at jeg kanskje nå kunne bære Johns budskap for ham," sier han. “Hans budskap er så klart kjærlighet til Gud, kjærlighet til jorden, fred og kjærlighet til menneskeheten.
Det er uhyggelig hvordan fremmede føler seg umiddelbart knyttet til Schuler, bare fordi han speiler Denver både i kropp og ånd. Og til tross for Johns død for over to tiår siden, fortsetter musikken hans å berøre verden, bevis med mer enn hundre millioner visninger av Denvers videoer på YouTube. “John var en romantiker, en antimaterialist i en materialistisk verden, som sang fra sitt hjerte mens han bar sjelen sin. Jeg deler det med ham, og det forbinder meg med mennesker. ” Dessuten, sier han, er historien også en flott kontakt. “CS Lewis sa det best da han uttalte at man skulle lese gamle bøker for å la århundrenes vind blåse gjennom hodet på dere. Det er det Johns musikk og kunst tapper på, den større bevisstheten som er tidløs. ”

I tillegg til å utføre Denver's hits, skriver Schuler og fremfører egne hits, inkludert "Rainmaker", en temasang som spilles i 35 millioner hjem hver uke. Blant tekstene er et Schuler-maksimum: "Live to inspire, and to be inspiration ..." Rick har fire album på iTunes og et nylig innspilt Nashville-prosjekt som venter på utgivelse senere i år. Blant hans siste perler er "Golden Days of Aspen Glow", en vakker sang han skrev for å hylle John Denver og Dan Fogelberg, fotsporene som Rick går inn i. "Når vi kaster sjelen vår dypt inn i brisen, farger livet oss og alle minnene våre ... ”

Akkurat som John Denver var kjent for å utføre The Lord's Prayer på amerikansk indisk tegnspråk, utfører Rick det på eldgamelsk hebraisk og får publikum til å synge sammen tekstene på engelsk. "En av Ricks favorittpoeter, Rilke, skrev:" Musikk er språket der hele språket ender. " Det er slik jeg føler om Johns budskap. Jeg er bare takknemlig for å være en fakkelbærer av arven hans. ”
