Hire The Jill Goodson Band
The Band
Lead vocals & Guitar
Jill Sink
Keyboards & vocals
Tony DiBianca
After leaving the all girl band She Said, vocalist and self-taught guitarist Jill briefly joined the enigmatic rock group, Watts Left.
​
With the departure of the band's founder, Jill was thrust into the role of lead vocalist and guitarist.
​
With Jill's incredible stage presence and audience rapport, the group quickly agreed on the obvious name; The Jill Goodson Band.
​
That year JGB opened for (and Jill sang with) Eddie Money. A decade later, Jill continues to amaze audiences whenever she performs.
Tony started on keyboards in the 6th grade with The Sixth Sense, before moving from NYC to NC to play sax in marching and jazz bands, and Crosstown Traffic on keys.
​​
Tony studied sax at the NC School of the Arts, and played piano with jazz group
Stanley's 5-Minute Ensemble.
​
He ran sound for legends like Jeff Lorber & Al Dimeola, then joined Upstate NY band Fusion.
​​
25-years later, after founding tech company PhoneTree, Tony teamed up with Greg, Jill & Jeff to start The Jill Goodson Band before founding Rock Central.
Lead Guitar
Cole Young
Over the last 15 years Cole has become highly adept at guitar, bass, and drums - making him a sought-after performer in countless musical settings.
​​
The Red Hot Chili Peppers shaped his early sound and fueled his passion for rhythm-driven, dynamic music.
​​
He's played in a variety of groups across genres, from funk to rock, pop to jazz - bringing a unique flavor to every project - whether live or in the studio.
​​​​
Cole brings unmatched versatility, energy, and precision to every Rock Central performance.
Bass
Jeff Isley
Starting at an early age, Jeff played violin, switched to upright bass, then began strumming his Dad’s old acoustic guitar.
​
In 1981, Jeff's decision to try electric bass was finalized when he jammed with friends and their bass player gave Jeff his bass and quit.
Jeff would play with over a dozen bands in the next 30 years.
​
Jeff moved to the Charlotte area where he played with the original world band Cyclone Mack, and later opened for Rod Stewart with The Rigel Band before joining The Jill Goodson Band, and now Rock Central.
Greg Savoie
Drums
Greg has played drums for over 45 years, and hasn't been without a drum kit since he was 8.
He performed in jazz, orchestra & marching bands from grammar school through college, and various rock bands in his adult life.
​
Greg studied with notable teachers including Rick Dior, Andy Weis , and is currently with Josh Orlando. A slave to the groove, he's always trying to improve his craft.
​​
In 2024, after 12 years with The Jill Goodson Band, Greg, Tony & Jeff founded Rock Central. He is the owner of BilliardWarehouse.com by day, and rocker by night.
What Venues Are Saying
Jeff Allen (owner Novel Taproom)
"This past Friday night we had a band that just absolutely crushed it. The band was Rock Central... They absolutely knocked it out of the park. We had a massive crowd... Huge night. Friday night was extraordinary."
​​
NC Cover Band Reviews
"The set was played awfully well and was fun, entertaining and included good amounts of band interaction and showmanship... We give the band credit for putting their own spin on things throughout the night... Rounding out the first set were tunes from Skynyrd, Zeppelin and a great version of "Drift Away" that included excellent background vocals from keyboardist Tony DiBianca who doubles as the band's sound guy.
​​
Jeff and Greg form an excellent rhythm section and have been band mates for years, and it shows. Alan sounded very good while interacting with the crowd all night. Cole is a very skilled guitarist, and we thought that his solos were perfect -- not too short and not too long-- and raised the showmanship and energy level of every song that featured one."

Johnny Cauble (aka "Johnny Loud", sound & lighting professional)
"I highly recommend Rock Central after a night with them! They are top notch performers and professional. They play music that is different from the average band, their set list consist of many songs not heard often!!"
