Raw emotional vocals. Super-tight grooves. Happy punters, all night.

Scotland's top session players. Songs that have already lasted.

3-piece · Edinburgh

The work

Most cover bands play what the crowd asks for. We play what the crowd remembers.

"Baby, it's 3 a.m. — I must be lonely."

Matchbox Twenty · "3 AM" · 1996 · The song the band is named after.

3AM is a three-piece working out of Edinburgh — Scotland's top session players. The live tape is from Whistle Binkies.

Songs that have already lasted, set to fit the room. Pubs, private functions, the occasional festival. The bar stays busy.
