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."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring vintage themed bands is $750, with prices from $240 to $2,550+. 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.

The vintage themed bands for hire in the United States 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.
