Pump, an Aerosmith Cover Band, Gears Up for Rock-Fueled Tour

It looks like Pump, an Aerosmith tribute band, will be busy rocking out for the summer and the rest of 2021. And with a new lead singer, Ian C. Temple, a Brooklyn-born front-man who joined the band late last year, to boot.

“He has been great,” Pump founder and bassist Frank Tassielli said. “We added him in November, and he plays the piano, which is an added benefit..”
