About / Biography

Moldies is a 9-piece band from Pittsburgh, PA playing hits from Stax and Motown, along with other "Moldie Oldies" from the same era.

The band features powerful lead vocals with sweet soul harmonies, 4-piece horn section, keys, and a multi-talented rhythm section.

We love bringing the energy and spirit of classic soul to every show—music that brings people of all ages together to dance, sing along, and feel good.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's your favourite type of event?

We love events that bring together all generations from all walks of life!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Moldies originally started in 2010 from a group of friends, significant others, and coworkers who had an idea of playing at a one-off Motown tribute show. Everyone liked the music so much, we kept getting asked to play an eclectic range of venues and events. The band eventually parted ways due to life circumstances, but reunited in 2025 with a different lineup and an expanded horn section. We are all lifelong musicians who have played with a variety of musical groups and styles.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Girl groups like the Supremes, dynamic dudes like Wilson Pickett, and lesser known "Moldies" like the Sonics.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We typically arrive 2-3 hours before the performance. Unless otherwise instructed by venue amd/or stage production crew. Especially if we are providing our own production.

We can play either 3, 45 minute sets with 2 breaks. Or two 1 hour + sets with a short intermission.
Flexible in this area.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes outside events are fine.
Flat surface and shade, tent or covering preferred.
Plus adequate power supply essential for proper and professional aet up.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We typically have a standard song/set list. We are always open for some specific song requests if adequate time to learn them prior. But always open for that "on the fly" request.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Fun, energetic, professional and entertaining.
