Best of FOO-The Foo Fighters Experience & 5 Against 1-Tribute to Pearl Jam

Best Of Foo are a NY/NJ based Tribute to the Foo Fighters, that were formed in early 2017.

Before the group’s formation; Dennis Kozar, Juan Hernandez, Mike Ferreira, and Chris Kozar, played in an original band called civic.  When their singer departed the group, they had no luck finding the right replacement.  To fill the musical void, they jammed on cover tunes, but mainly focused on the Foo’s.  After learning a handful of songs, they realized a tribute band was a possibility.  When they discussed who could be a candidate to act as the Dave Grohl of the group, Phil Barbetta of the band, Corevalay, immediately came to mind.  His passion, and aggressive vocals, fit best with the Foo Fighters sound.  After a few rehearsals, a new band was officially formed under the name Best Of Foo. 

5 Against 1-For over 20 years, 5 Against 1 has been delivering the raw energy, emotion, and authenticity of Pearl Jam to stages across Central Jersey and beyond. More than just a tribute band, they embody the spirit of the grunge era, bringing fans the electrifying sound of Vedder’s iconic vocals, Gossard & McCready’s soaring guitars, and the deep grooves that defined a generation.

From the anthems of Ten to the deep cuts that hardcore fans crave, 5 Against 1 captures the essence of a live Pearl Jam experience—passionate, powerful, and unpredictable. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the sound, get ready to sing, sway, and scream along to the ultimate tribute to one of rock’s greatest bands.
