Elevation - The U2 Tribute

Capturing the energy, spirit, and music of U2 is how Elevation approaches every live show. From punk rock beginnings to modern orchestrations, Elevation focuses on exacting detail to reproduce U2’s unique brand of rock and roll.
The setlist of Elevation spans from the Boy album to Songs of Experience including all the dynamics in-between. The four musicians in this band blend their professional musical experience with their love for the positive energy and powerful music of U2.
Expect to hear anthems such as "Pride," "Where the Streets Have No Name," "With or Without You," and "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" as well as the classics "I Will Follow," "Gloria," "One," and "New Years Day." The band also includes U2’s newest songs such as "Vertigo, "City of Blinding Lights," and "Beautiful Day."
Garrett Lee Stone (vocals)


At every Elevation show vocalist, Garrett Lee captures the energy of Bono and U2 while performing and engaging with the crowd. Singing is his passion. The talented singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist (guitar, keyboards, and bass), has performed throughout the US promoting albums by his original band Triangle Blue.
Richard Gibson (lead guitars, backing vocals)


Richard was a U2 super-fan before becoming a musician. He is a veteran of the Atlanta original and cover-band music scene. After recommendations from mutual friends and fellow musicians, he became the newest member of Elevation. Richard also performs in several bands enjoying a wide repertoire across many genres of music. He especially loves channeling the complex sounds of The Edge and paying tribute to the music and spirit of U2.
Robert Jacobs (bass)


In Elevation Robert prides himself in replicating Adam Clayton’s sound by using his signature Fender and Washburn basses. He is a founding member of the rock band St. James and has a self-titled album coming in 2021 with The 450s, which includes drummer Carl Canedy (of The Rods). Robert is an endorser of REDDI all-tube direct boxes.
Johnny Presti Jr. (drums and backing vocals)
Johnny hails from South Florida and recorded four original albums with South Florida band TWEED, which showcased for BMG/Universal, Geffen and Sony record labels.
At each ELEVATION show, the goal is to channel Larry Mullen Jr., even using his one-on-each-side floor tom setup. He plays SONOR AQ2 drums, PAISTE cymbals, DW pedals, REMO heads and Vic Firth sticks.
