Rocket

Meet Rocket, a legendary music group unlike any other! Formed by the incredible talent of Jimi Hendrix, Rocket blasted off onto the scene with electrifying performances that left audiences amazed. With jaw-dropping skill on the guitar, Hendrix pushed boundaries and fused genres like no one before.

​

Inspired by the spirit of the times, Rocket mixed rock, funk, and soul influences to create something fresh and powerful. Critics hailed Hendrix as possibly the greatest musician in rock history, thanks to his groundbreaking style and revolutionary approach to the instrument.

​

When forming Rocket, Hendrix aimed to honor the voices calling for equality and justice – bringing together amazing artists like Billy Cox and Buddy Miles to deliver impactful messages through songs like "Machine Gun," reflecting the turbulent era.

​

One iconic highlight? Performing a stunning version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Woodstock, where Hendrix turned his guitar into a musical representation of fireworks and explosions, sending shock waves across the nation.

​

Unfortunately, just months after releasing their famous Live Album titled "Band of Gypsys," tragedy struck, cutting short the magic we know today simply as "Rocket!" But even though they burned too briefly, their legacy continues to inspire generations of fans and fellow musicians alike.

​

So here's to remembering Rocket—an extraordinary shooting star whose flame still lights the path ahead!
