A Covers Band Makes An Event Even More Memorable

Covers Band, The Roadhouse Five, has long been at the top of their profession. Enthusing guests at birthdays, weddings, corporate events and other special functions.

Cover bands come in all shapes and sizes. Some use backing tracks, some covers bands even mime! The Roadhouse Five always do absolutely everything live. That`s singing, backing vocals, playing, the lot. So many of them are for the Roadhouse Five. Lets talk repertoire…..

Cover bands need to know what will get people on the floor. That is their function. In deciding which repertoire to play a band will ask itself who their audience is? What age are they going to be? Will the audience of heard the song and band? Take a wedding scenario. Almost all weddings will be made up of people from a wide range of age groups. We see guests from three years old right up to ninety years old. In such a situation bands can cover a huge range of musical styles from Jazz, Swing, Rat Pack songs right up to to to contemporary music.

Anyone who has a television will know that advertising uses music from the sixties and seventies. Soul and classic pop. This means that everyone knows it. That is why a clever cover band, such as the Roadhouse Five, is listening out for such classics being used in order to replicate them in performance. People at a party will get up to dance to something they know! Ask anyone over the age of fifteen if they have seen the films The Blues Brothers and the Commitments and they will say yes.

Covers bands playing a repertoire like this is almost guaranteed to have the dance floor heaving to the sounds of the Blues Brothers or maybe The Commitments. Let`s give you some more information on the Roadhouse Five covers band. Here is a band playing a range of music from Sinatra, Nat King Cole, through to the classic Rock and Roll of Chuck Berry and Elvis. They then move on to covers of James Brown (always a favorite) Stevie Wonder, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave. After this trip to the sixties they will then usually play seventies hit tunes then move on to Prince, The Mavericks and Ricky Martin for example. All covers that people know and love, all covers that people like to dance to, and covers played with a slick professionalism, a passion and a 100% commitment from the Roadhouse Five band to give their clients the night of their life! Which other bands can claim to do that?
