1950s Era Entertainment in Rockford, IL


In the 1950s Rock and Roll music was embraced by teenagers and rock stars were made, including Elvis, with hits including Don't Be Cruel and Heartbreak Hotel, and Chuck Berry and Fats Domino. Color TV became a major influence, stereos were offered for sale and American Bandstand had an audience of millions, playing venue for stars like Bobby Darin, Connie Francis and Fabian to be discovered. Other prominent rock and roll musicians included Paul Anka, Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard. The Grand Ole Opry with its country sounds was in full swing!

The 1950s in the U.S. was a feel-good decade, marked with a rise in the economy for the first time in nearly 30 years. Widespread suburban developments and nuclear family ideals serve as symbols of the 50s era. For a happening birthday party, high school reunion, anniversary party, corporate event or just an event to remember, go nostalgic... go Fifties! Select a city where you'd like to book oldies 1950s Entertainment.

Some things to consider when hiring 1950s entertainment are to make sure you listen to audio and watch video clips of the performer/group. This will ensure that you truly do book the best for your next event! Next, you want to get references. Talk to people in the area about the performer and get feedback. Finally, get a contract. Many professional performers require a deposit to secure them at your next event. Make sure to read through the contract carefully before contracting their services for your party.
