‘Odds Are’ perform their original music at the Flying Cloud Cafe.

ATLANTIC CITY - Modern Rock Band 'Odds Are' helped say one final goodbye to summer at the ShoreNights.com farewell to summer bash on a chilly night in Gardner's Basin this September. The quartet, fronted by Jaime Tenner, played a one-hour set at the Flying Cloud Cafe that included a solid mix of originals and some classic covers. Laura Leuter rocked out on lead guitar as blazed through some great guitar riffs. Belinda Connolly held it all together with a solid performance on bass guitar.

'Odds Are' got its start in April of 2004 when original members Connolly and Leuter left their former band to start a new musical venture. They enlisted the help of longtime friend Tenner for vocals in July of 2004, and though the band went through many beginning phases, it was finally complete in 2005.

Each band member comes with a wide variety of musical influences, spanning several decades - from classic bands like Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith, to a wide variety of 90's bands, to some of today's popular musicians. All of these influences, along with elements of each musician's past experiences, come together to create Odds Are's unique sound.

Odds Are is currently located in Burlington, New Jersey. Check them out online at www.oddsare.net or see more photos of their show at the Flying Cloud log onto www.shorenights.com.
