Unfinished Business is a
Central Coast band originally formed in 2003 and specializing in what is
arguably the best music of all time: 1960s rock 'n' roll. The members
of Unfinished Business- David Hollister, Jim Witt, Ben Davis, and Ed
Miller- all played in different local bands in California during the '60s,
but they eventually set their music careers aside to pursue "real
jobs" and raise families. An occasional 5th member of the band
(when he is not recording and touring with U2) is Terry Lawless. Terry also played in
local bands in Iowa during the '60s, but he went on to make music his career,
touring all over the world for the past 30 years with the likes of U2 and Bruce
Springsteen. Well, the '60s are now long gone, but the members of
Unfinished Business still have a passion for the music of that era and their
"unfinished business" is to keep that music alive, performing many
of the hits by the great '60s artists, ranging from The Animals to The Zombies
and including The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, various
Motown artists, and so many more.
