High-Voltage Nostalgia: HRD the Band
Female Fronted Tribute
From the gritty guitar anthems of the 1970s to the chart-topping rock of the modern era, HRD delivers a high-octane, female-fronted tribute to the greatest eras of music. We don’t just play the hits; we recreate the energy, the attitude, and the sonic evolution of rock and roll.
Whether you’re looking for a specific vibe or a journey through the decades, our versatile sets are built to fit the room:
Classic Rock Essentials: The legends of the 70s—think Fleetwood Mac, Heart, and Led Zeppelin.
80s Hair Metal & Arena Anthems: High-energy pyrotechnics for the ears, featuring the soaring vocals and shredding solos of the Sunset Strip.
90s Grunge & Alternative: The raw, distorted power of the Seattle sound and the icons of the MTV generation.
2000s Modern Rock: The stadium-sized hooks and alt-rock staples that defined a new millennium.
Women in Rock: A powerhouse tribute to the trailblazers, from Pat Benatar to Melissa Etheridge and beyond.
With professional stage presence and a setlist tailored to your event, HRD is more than a cover band—it’s a celebration of rock’s enduring legacy. Tell us your era, and we’ll bring the noise.

She started bass at age 17 for a few years, then gave up music for almost 30 years, before going back to her love of the bass. She has been playing now for almost 10 years and has played in various cover bands in Broward.
While her all time favorite bands are YES and The Cure, she has played almost every genre and loves playing the grunge, alternative and metal styles of HRD. Although a rocker at heart, she is able to adapt to almost any style and easily slides into the pocket with any drummer.
Gina Striker - Guitar & Vocals
Gina Striker is a guitarist and songwriter whose style blends the swagger of Queens-born rock with the new sun-soaked intensity of recent years spent in Florida.

Gina's writing focuses on personal evolution, resilience, and the complexities of identity. Gina quickly became known for her dynamic presence and her ability to fuse emotion with precision grit and clarity.
After Dirty Secrets, she branched into a grunge band, and also started collaborating with musicians across New York's rock scene in the 80s and 90s. Gina's guitar work is aggressive when needed, atmospheric when the song demands it and always deeply connected to the emotional core of the music commanding on stage and meticulous in the studio, Gina continues to build a reputation as a guitarist with both attitude and versatility.
Her background is blues and hard rock based and whether in a band or performing stripped-down acoustic sets, she carries the unmistakable edge of the NYC scene where she got her start.
