About / Biography

STRATA gets people moving right from the start with great hits from rock and roll's amazing history (60's thru current and even a few 50's). Our tight and energetic shows get the crowd involved and bring rave reviews from those in attendance. If you love to sing along, dance, or just watch the show STRATA is the band you'll want to hire!

STRATA's three-fold philosophy:

1) Every song must be dance-able!
2) Play the songs as close as possible to the original... the songs are tied to people's emotions and memories!
3) Cover as many artists as possible and thereby be able to honor many requests for a certain band/artist!
