2112 has come to be known as the premiere Rush tribute band in the Pacific Northwest and has performed at many of the local festival such as The Taste of Tacoma, The Bite of Seattle. The Point Defiance Music Festival, as well as the Issaquah Salmon Days. Additionally 2112 has played many premiere area stages such at the Red Wind Casino, The 7 Cedars Casino, Jazzbones, Station 56, The Central Tavern, and more.

2112 has garnered the respect of many Rush fans whom recognize 2112’s commitment to bringing a true and accurate recreation of the Rush concert listening experience to their live performances.

2112 also maintains an extremely popular and highly visible podcast in the iTunes music store that appears on the main result page when patrons search for “Rush” or “2112” in the iTunes store search window. 2112 has recorded many Rush songs as demo’s and makes them available free for download to anyone. This combined with a very heavily visited Myspace page takes 2112 from a local band to a band on the world scene. These two things in conjunction make 2112 one of the most visible Rush tribute bands in the world.

2009 has been a year of refreshment for 2112, as they take on more challenging musical undertakings and revamped their entire live performance.
