Past Do Band Biographies

​

A 1960's, '70's. '80's, and '90's  rock band formed in 1987 by Steve Kelley, Joe Phillips, Mark Hinnard and Charles Collins. The band's name PAST DO was chosen because they "DO" songs of the "PAST". They stayed in the basement for one full year, practicing 2 to 3 times a week, until their show and sound were perfected. Their repertoire consisted of approximately 140 songs and were continuously adding more. The members had a unified dream that one day they could give back to the world what they had received from it. They all truly loved their music. They played all over Chattanooga and the surrounding area from 1988 thru 1990 when they went separate ways. Reunited in 1994 they worked on revamping their original act. Parted ways again in 1996 and reunited in 1997 to do the first and only reunion jam session.
