Photo of Good To Go Good To Go "Perfect for our event. Flexible and engaging We had a wonderful time with Mike and Suzanne celebrating our parents 50th wedding anniversary. They were very responsive, flexible, reasonably priced, and even took some requests for specific songs. They also did a great job interacting with the crowd and even inviting some more of the brave guests to join and sing along for a few songs. Thank you to you both for a wonderful experience. • Rating:   *****   • Reviewer: Kelly Medio • Event Date: July 26th, 2023 • Services Provided: Cover Band" Based in Belleville, Ontario (47 miles from Peterborough) Kelly Medio - Private Party Photo of John Amato John Amato "I am a volunteer at Walden and we all enjoyed your show today Thanks so much for entertaining the residents It was terrific.

Frequently asked questions

The average price for 1950s era musicians & bands on Gig Heaven is currently $800, with prices ranging from $220 to $3,200+. Pricing typically depends on band size, the length of the performance and whether the act provides its own sound equipment. Most acts specialise in rock 'n' roll, doo-wop and early rhythm and blues hits, so listening to profile samples is a good way to compare what each performer offers.

Hiring 1950s era musicians & bands is a great choice for retro-themed parties, 1950s rock and roll nights, milestone birthday celebrations, weddings and corporate events. The high-energy style of 1950s music is particularly effective at getting guests of all ages onto the dance floor.

Most 1950s era musicians & bands bring their own instruments, amplifiers and PA system for standard venue sizes. For larger events or outdoor performances, additional sound reinforcement may be needed. It is advisable to confirm equipment details with the act when making an enquiry.

The 1950s era musicians & bands perform classic rock and roll, doo-wop, rockabilly and early rhythm and blues from the 1950s.
