Photo of Red White & Blue Red White & Blue "Attended a Red White and Blue concert in Kingman Arizona June 27, 2026. Awesome show! These guys truly sound and look like the real band. Favorite songs were many but loved Simple Man, That Smell, and of course Freebird. Sent chills up my spine. Their backup girl singers were outstanding too. Their voices came thru beautifully. I definitely recommend this band. I hope to see and hear them again in the future."

Joe and Josephine" Based in Dallas, Texas, United States 3rd November 2025 Joe Mitchell Photo of Lewis & Her Swing Band Lewis & Her Swing Band "The Lewis Barfoot Jazz Quintet delivers amazing performances. The ensemble demonstrated a deep understanding of both the jazz and swing tradition and the soul of live interpretation, balancing technical precision with an inviting sense of spontaneity. Lewis's leadership was evident throughout, with singing that was confident yet understated, allowing space for all the musician voices to shine.There was an unmistakable sense of enjoyment and mutual respect on stage, which translated directly to the audience. Dynamic contrasts were handled with care, and solos were expressive without ever feeling self-indulgent. Particularly impressive was their attention to providing music that truly worked for dancers. Tempos, dynamics, and phrasing were handled with care, ensuring the music was not only enjoyable to listen to but also perfectly suited to the dance floor. Beyond the performance itself, the professional approach stood out throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and reliable from the initial booking through to the end of the event, making the experience smooth and stress-free. Overall, the Lewis Barfoot Jazz Quintet combined high-quality musicianship with professionalism and thoughtful consideration for their audience, resulting in a thoroughly successful event."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring vintage themed bands is $1,150, with prices from $280 to $3,350+. Pricing depends on the number of musicians, set duration and whether the act includes themed costumes, vintage staging or additional visual elements. Vintage-themed bands span a range of eras, from 1920s jazz to 1960s rock, so the style and size of the act both influence cost.

Many vintage themed bands perform in authentic vintage attire appropriate to their era of music, from 1920s flapper dresses and suits to 1950s rock and roll outfits. This adds a visual element that enhances the atmosphere at themed events. Gig Heaven recommends asking about costume options when making an enquiry.

Most are self-contained and bring a PA suited to the room, though acts built around acoustic instruments often need less than a modern band. Period-styled microphones and stands are usually part of the look rather than the sound, and come with the act. Venues with their own system should mention it, as it can reduce what has to be transported.

Many acts perform modern songs arranged in the style of their era, which lands well with guests who do not know the original material. Others stay strictly period and treat that as the point of the booking. Both work, so it is worth asking which approach an act takes before choosing between them.

Smaller formats are widely offered, often a singer and piano or a three-piece, and they suit afternoon receptions where a full band would dominate. The larger line-ups carry the brass that defines much of the period's sound. Booking a small group for the day and the full act for the evening is a common compromise.

Hiring vintage themed bands is popular for vintage-themed weddings, Gatsby and prohibition parties, afternoon teas, corporate events, garden parties and retro celebrations. Vintage music adds charm and character to events with a classic or nostalgic theme.

The vintage themed bands in Alberta, Canada perform music spanning the 1920s through to the 1960s, covering styles such as jazz, swing, rock and roll, doo-wop, skiffle and Motown. Many bands also offer modern songs performed in a vintage style, such as acoustic or swing versions of contemporary hits.
