Our History
The MOD 60’s formed in February 2020. We began by initially talking thru Bandmix. Playing 60’s music is the goal for all members in the band. We decided to meet for a practice session; it went well, so we decided to continue. First few sessions were held at ROCK U (music school & music shop). Rock U is a key place for practice during the COVID crisis. They have a private stage area and provide all the necessary equipment.
The MOD 60’s band has a great future. We love playing 60’s music and original material. We completed our first Album on 1/25/2021 and look forward to continue playing live. We recorded our album in Fort Mill, SC at ‘Stonelayer Recording Studio’. Our engineer is David Robinson. David is a great guy to work with and a true professional.
Meet the Band
Bill Chapman - Lead Guitar/Singer-Song Writer/Founder
I enjoy 60's rock & blues. Also, enjoy playing some 70's & 80's tunes.
Love to write and sing original music. I have played in several rock bands over the past few years. My most enjoyable band experience with the exception of our new band "The MOD 60's", is playing with "The MOD VI". We rated a number 3 spot on the charts in 1967 with a song called "It's Not The Same". Also enjoyed playing with the group "Acme Repossessing Company", 1968 thru 1969.
The most memorable time with ACME is when we toured Texas and played at Hemisphere 69 in San Antonio.
Also played in a famous mod club called 'The Love Street Light Circus'. Jimmy Hendrix played there one night before we arrived.
Mike Taylor – Bass Player and Backup Vocals
I played 30 years with the Taylor Brothers southern rock tribute band.
Five years with a country rock band.
I use Fender and Gibson base guitars.
Prefer Ampeg Amps and 60-year-old Angular pedals.
The Mod 60’s band members and music are the right fit for me. Together we rock the crowd and have fun!
Mike Petrie - Drummer
Born and raised in Charlotte, having older siblings who always had the radio on, Mike grew to love the music of the 50's and 60's. Mike has played drums in more bands than he can remember, from 1972 to presend day.
Toni Scott - Lead Singer
Toni Scott grew up in Albemarle NC. She started singing in church as a young child. Her family was involved in music which became a big part of her life.
In her early years, Toni was part of a Christian band. As part of this group, her passion for singing and love for music began to grow. Over the years she has had the opportunity to provide background vocals with local bands and artists. From coffee shops to bars if she got the chance she was singing.

Louis Rossie - Keyboardist
I am originally from Roanoke, VA, where at the age of eight, I studied piano for over 9
years with an emphasis on classical music. Music was always part of my young life and I
played in school bands (trumpet), as well as many rock and roll bands (keyboard/vocals).
I graduated from Virginia Military Institute (VMI), where I performed some with their
jazz band as well as various pick up bands that played as opportunities became available.
I moved to Charlotte in the early 80’s; and have played for weddings to funerals, and
everything in between. I have played in various cover bands since the 90’s and was
fortunate to play on the Channel 36 stage for Springfest one year. I also helped produce
an album with originals in the 90’s containing four songs I completely wrote and sang.
(One of these songs played on Fox Exposures). I played mostly in the greater Charlotte
area over the years.
I spent almost 12 years playing and singing for several church based Praise & worship
teams, as well as a few Contemporary Christian Rock bands. I also led a Praise &
Worship Team for a small church in Charlotte for four years. I was honored to play for
many events for youth and charitable organizations throughout North Carolina.
I love playing and singing all styles of music and seeing people enjoying themselves.
