About CC&R
Our Story
Founded in 2017, CC&R is a Southern California-based worker's compensation parody band consisting of members Hon. Bill Carero (Guitar, Vocals), John McNeely (Guitar, Vocals), Jesse Bernal, Esq. (Drums), Hon. Clint Feddersen (Bass, Sax), Colleen Hjelle (Vocals), Hon. Robert Rassp (Keyboards), and Daniel Rassp (Producer). The original band members consisted of Clint, Carero, and Rassp (Robert), hence the name "CC&R." The name "CC&R" also stands for "Comp, Circus, and Rodeo," "Compromise and Release," and even pokes fun at the band Clearance, Clearwater, Revival. The repertoire of CC&R consists of parodied versions of classic rock hits from 1969-1991, including artists such as Tom Petty, The Beatles, Chicago, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Queen, Alice Cooper, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Elton John, The Who, The Animals, Metallica, and many more! The songs are parodied by taking the original lyrics of these hit songs, and replacing them with lyrics that comment and criticize the worker's compensation industry, and their infatuation with classic rock. The band premiered at the Worker's Comp Central's Comp Laude Galla at the Marriott Hotel in Burbank, CA. This was one of six performances of the 2017 Southern California Tour, making it the band's most ambitious year. CC&R has become a national sensation in the worker's compensation community, and have performed all across California, including as far north as Monterey! CC&R adapted to the COVID 19 pandemic by going virtual and introducing music videos featured on YouTube. Check them out here:
