Photo of The Rockits The Rockits "Ian P. Woodbury I’ve been serenaded AND stirred by THE ROCKITS twice in 2022, since being introduced to them only recently. I made a pledge to myself, in the mirror, to go and listen to them whenever I need to satisfy my audio addiction for exceptionally performed, hard driving Rock n Roll. As a guy who has been playing guitar, and singing for an audience since 1956, I continuously need to have my appetite satiated with Good Ol’ Rock n Roll. The Rockits satisfy my need quite satisfactorily! Thank You Very Much! The Rockits share the top shelf of the D.C. Area bands, with only a few other bands up there with them. There is no better party band than The Rockits. The band is well-rehearsed, instrumentally and vocally tight, and they really know how to keep the good vibes topped off at FULL, without losing the personal touch with their audience. Everyone in the band is a seasoned musician, sings very well, and harmonizes on key. But…the vocal standout is Robin Brown, the female vocalist. Robin should be known by everyone in the D. C. Metro Area, who enjoys hip Shakin’ Rock n Roll. ROBIN IS THAT GOOD! She commands the stage, like a Queen, but she is never domineering. She does not try to draw undue attention to herself, but knows her position on stage, as an integral part of a smoothly wild ensemble. She shares the M.C. duties with the band’s leader, Peter Grattan, who is a fine drummer, but in The Rockits, he is a triple threat on keyboards, guitar, and vocals. All the instrumentalists are in the top echelon of local talent, each attuned to his role in the overall mix, and they all shine in their spots. If you want a really satisfying Good Time of listening and dancing, there is no better band, who can lift you higher, than The Rockits. Going out to get your Rock n Roll fix with The Rockets is an evening well-spent." Based in Washington D.C., District of Columbia (95 miles from Richmond) Dr Ian Woodbury - retired Photo of ATOM - A Touch of Maze ATOM - A Touch of Maze "Saw y'all in Philadelphia. That was an awesome experience!! Thank you so much for this show. My dad knew Frankie Beverly and the band but didn't stay in contact with him much after he moved to California. My dad didn't come to this show because he was really upset by Mr Beverly's passing. I brought a friend with me instead. Getting hear Frankie Beverly's music performed live (as someone that wasn't around yet to get that experience back in the day) whewwww was I blown away!!! Everyone did a incredible job and captured the essence of Maze so well-- I watched a couple concert videos on YouTube of them in the 80s. I never couldve comprehended why the love in that room at WCL was so thick from just the concert recordings. What the videos couldn't capture the Performers at this tribute concert went absolutely beyonnnndddd. Every single member was 🔟 /🔟 and you had two TRUE master percussionists on that stage. Tarsha Fitzgerald curated a truly phenomenal experience. 🔥 🔥 Thank you, ATOM 🔥 🔥 🥇" Based in Hyattsville, Maryland (101 miles from Richmond) Ninqi Stratton Photo of Cindy Cooper and Friends Cindy Cooper and Friends "Cynthia Cooper and I have worked together for over 25 years and I am truly grateful and appreciative of her talents. I have rarely seen a vocalist catch the immediate attention, of her varied audiences--it doesn't matter who--big, small, formal or casual--as soon as she takes the stage. She is the consummate professional! She is personable, engaging and performs with the client in the forefront. Cindy loves her musician's touch and it shows. She is my company's go-to vocalist!! Put her onto you event now!! She's always biz-ee!" Based in Rocky Mount, North Carolina (113 miles from Richmond) Olive Joseph - Painting by Voice Music Photo of Raybar1mb Raybar1mb "The Flex Band is one of the top Soul and Motown acts in the southeastern United States. Led by the versatile and experienced showman and bandleader Ray Bar, the Flex Band provides a combination of your favorite 60' soul grooves, Motown classics, and modern R&B and beach hits."

He was accommodating when we asked him to play a custom song for our wedding ceremony and his personal jazz music was perfect for our cocktail hour. He was quick to respond to our emails and was the most professional vendor we worked with, we highly recommend him!." Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (241 miles from Richmond) Tom C.

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring oldies bands is $700, with prices from $200 to $2,950+. Pricing depends on band size, performance length and the range of decades covered. Oldies bands typically perform hits from the 1950s through to the 1980s and vary from compact trios to larger groups with multiple vocalists.

The oldies bands for hire typically cover hits from the 1950s through to the 1980s, including rock and roll, doo-wop, Motown, pop, disco and classic rock. Many bands offer a broad greatest-hits style setlist that touches on multiple decades of popular music.

Hiring oldies bands is ideal for birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, weddings, corporate events, retirement parties and any occasion where nostalgia and sing-along favourites will get guests on their feet. Most bands have a broad repertoire that can be tailored to the age group and tastes of the audience.

Many oldies bands can tailor their setlist to focus on a particular era if requested. Whether the event calls for 1960s Motown, 1970s disco or a broader oldies mix, most bands are flexible. It is advisable to discuss your preferences when making an enquiry.

Most oldies bands provide their own instruments, amplifiers and PA system for standard event spaces. For larger venues or outdoor events, additional sound equipment may be needed. It is worth confirming technical details before booking.

The repertoire is built to be recognised, so a mixed-age room usually finds common ground faster than it would with a single-genre act. Older guests get the original hits and younger ones know most of them from film and television. Where one age group dominates, say so, and the band can weight the set rather than spreading it thin.

Most stay close to the records, since recognition is the whole point, though tempos are often lifted a little for a dance floor. Some acts modernise the backing while keeping the melody, which suits a younger crowd. Asking which approach an act takes is worth doing, as it changes the feel more than the song list does.

Most bookings place the band after the meal and the speeches, once guests are ready to be on their feet. An earlier slot works for a daytime event or where something lighter is wanted while people arrive. The booking is normally split into two performances with a gap between, so the room can eat or move.
