RADIO RETRO is a fun-packed rock band that faithfully reproduces the infectious music of the 80's:
Madonna, The Go-Gos, The Bangles, Blondie, Pat Benatar, Journey, The Cars, The Eurythmics, The Stones, Men At Work, Joan Jett, The B-52's, Duran Duran, Missing Persons, Men Without Hats, U2...the list goes on and on.  And although 80's music is their specialty, RADIO RETRO can also tap into a huge variety of material from the other decades as well: the standards, jazz, Motown, oldies, Disco, classic rock, and country - all selected from the Top 40 Billboard hit charts from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 90's, no obscure songs that no one knows. This "deep set" enables the group to please listeners and dancers of all ages and play any number of sets. One, two, three, four hours or more! If you have a special song you'd like the band to play for your event.  You got it.  In addition to their live music sets they make sure to keep the crowd's energy geared up by playing CD/iPod music on their professional sound system during their breaks. So, in effect, you get a live band AND a DJ! WHOA!

The band is always tastefully dressed for each occasion.  They prefer to stay in character and wear 80's fashions but, depending on the event and the client's wishes, they can even wear formal tuxes and gowns and, of course, the band is always ready to play over-time if you want them to. RADIO RETRO's sole purpose is to make your special event just that: special, and the bottom line is that they are there to ensure that your event is memorable for everyone involved and to free your mind of the entertainment portion so that you can concentrate on entertaining your guests and having a good time.  RADIO RETRO's members share over 80 years of collective professional music experience.  They're talented, professional, conscientious, and dependable.

Radio Retro is a consortium of talented musicians.  Depending on your specific needs, venue size or budget we can play as a trio, a quartet or as much as a 7-piece or more!

Hire yourself some fun.  Whether it's for a corporate event, wedding reception or just a special party in a friend's backyard, fire up some nostalgic energy and watch the magic happen. You can relive your happiest times while you're making new ones with RADIO RETRO. 

We guarantee 100% satisfaction or your money back.

RADIO RETRO - Playback the 80's!

 

Radio Retro played my wife's 30th birthday party recently.  They were fantastic!  Several of our friends asked for their card to play future events.  They had great communication skills, were flexible with the type and content of their show, and most importantly they had as good a time performing as the partygoers had dancing.  I would highly recommend them for your show!

Radio Retro went well beyond our expectations.  I hired them to play for my wife’s 40th birthday party, and they were terrific from start to finish.  They were extremely proactive in communicating with us before the party, and they played unbelievably well at the party.  I would highly recommend Radio Retro for any occasion.

Jim,
Thanks!  You guys were great.  I was working the event so I missed the entire first set, but the second set was rocking.  You even got the gov up on stage!  The next one is going to be bigger and better.  We are looking forward to it.

Dear Jim,
Thank you so much for playing at our event.  You and the band made the association's party, a "party" totally. Everyone loved the music and the musicianship! We look forward to our next event where we can have you and the band back. Not soon enough judging by the audience response.

Thank you again.

Jim,
I wanted to write and let you know how much I appreciate you and your band playing again at Sculpture Challenge this year.   I can't begin to tell you how many people complimented me on the music.   You all are professionals and really set the mood.  Hope to have you back to perform here again.
