Chain Gang is a Phoenix-based tribute band bringing the sound, attitude, and unmistakable energy of The Pretenders to the stage with Brass In Pocket – The Pretenders Experience. Fronted by vocalist and guitarist Laura Workman, the band delivers a high-energy show that celebrates the songs, spirit, and rock-and-roll edge that made The Pretenders iconic.

More than simply playing the hits, Chain Gang brings both fan favorites and deeper cuts to life with seasoned musicianship and strong stage presence. Laura captures Chrissie Hynde’s confidence, phrasing, vulnerability, swagger, and rebellious edge while still bringing her own personality and connection with the audience to every performance.

Together, Laura Workman on lead vocals and guitar, Tom Julian on lead guitar, Mike Reardon on bass, and Max Weiden on drums create a polished, energetic show for longtime Pretenders fans and anyone who loves great rock and roll. As one audience member put it, “Her energy rocks—the total experience is not to be missed!”

Chain Gang is currently expanding Brass In Pocket – The Pretenders Experience to more casinos, festivals, theaters, concert venues, resorts, corporate events, and special events. Bold Vocals. High Energy. No Pretending. Contact Chain Gang for booking information.
