The Cars are one of the most sonically distinctive bands of the new wave era — and Carpool: The Ultimate Cars Tribute does their catalog genuine justice. This nationally touring tribute act brings the jangly guitars, synth lines, and deadpan cool of Ric Ocasek’s band to The Vine Showroom at del Lago Resort & Casino in Waterloo, NY on Saturday, April 11, 2026.
About Carpool
The Cars left a deceptively rich catalog before calling it quits — hits like “Just What I Needed,” “Drive,” “Shake It Up,” “Moving in Stereo,” and “Candy-O” represent some of the tightest, most hook-loaded rock songs of the late ’70s and early ’80s. Carpool captures that sound faithfully, including the layered vocal harmonies and the distinctive production style that made The Cars’ records feel simultaneously warm and futuristic. A fun, high-energy show for anyone who grew up on classic rock radio.
