Reviews of Rock Bands available in Cincinnati

5/5 from 743 reviews

Almost Aldean "I hired Almost Aldean to perform for a fundraiser for a local Fraternal Order of Police concert, The band was great and Shayne was excellent as a Aldean tribute. They were very entertaining, kept the audience involved and every person in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the concert. I would highly recommend this band if you are looking for a fantastic Jason Aldean tribute band." -Waive Sharp, OwnerAgent" Based in Cincinnati, Ohio Waive Sharp - Sharp Entertainment

Men Of A Certain Age "MOACA (Men Of A Certain Age) is a phenomenal band to see and listen to. They may play "oldie" songs, but it's music that is enjoyed by all ages. Their stage presence is great and there aren't lulls in their lineup; it's one great song after another. They know what songs fit their style/talent level, and they don't force anything. Knowing that you're going to hear great songs, that are articulated correctly, makes their performances that much more enjoyable. They're definitely a must see/can't miss." Based in Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky (74 miles from Cincinnati) 10th April 2026 Kevin Minke
