The Story
Tesla is an American hard rock band from Sacramento, California, known for their glam metal and heavy metal sound. Originally starting out as City Kidd, bassist Brian Wheat and guitarist Frank Hannon rebranded to Tesla, influenced by the name’s connection to innovation. The classic lineup solidified with the addition of vocalist Jeff Keith, guitarist Tommy Skeoch, and drummer Troy Luccketta, who brought a raw energy to their performances. Their music features catchy riffs and anthemic choruses, with tracks like "Love Song" showcasing their knack for blending melodic elements with hard-hitting rock. With roots deep in the ’80s scene, Tesla remains a staple for fans of the era's sound.
