The all-girl band Ace of Cups opened for Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, and Jimi Hendrix. The group never got a record deal after four years of performing and fifty years later, have released two albums! These amazing ladies are still rockin’ and they are fantastic! Age is no barrier for talent and passion!
They appeared on the Today Show last year. I have posted the links below for that performance and their album trailer.
