5/5 from 392 reviews
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 (119 miles from Wilmington) 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." Based in Durham, North Carolina (134 miles from Wilmington) HVCC - Country Club Photo of Crossfire Blues Crossfire Blues "“Beautiful, powerful start with "These Eyes". Powerhouse vocals, blues content is "spot on". Thank you for all the originals. Engage stage presence. Really enjoyed your wide vocal range. There are so many Blues categories, you defied every one of them. DON'T STOP, KEEP IT UP. Very Refreshing. You are in a class by yourself.” --from 2024 Blues Challenge" Based in Athens, Georgia (311 miles from Wilmington) Blues challenge judge - Atlanta Blues Challenge 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 (331 miles from Wilmington) Ninqi Stratton Photo of Seminole Jackson bands Seminole Jackson bands "Many professional musicians through the years I have called Seminole Jackson, “the real deal”… church musicians have always called him ‘doctor” or “professor”. He is a real student of all traditional music styles-blues, rock, country, funk, soul, R&B. Check him out and you’ll see!" Based in Lilburn, Georgia (356 miles from Wilmington) Other Professional Musicians Photo of Paul Cohen Piano Paul Cohen Piano "Paul was great! 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 (444 miles from Wilmington) Tom C.

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring oldies bands is $650, with prices from $190 to $2,850+. 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.
