Oldies music typically refers to popular music from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Some oldies bands will play a mix of hits from all decades, while others might focus on just one era with fitting costumes and accessories.
On average, professional oldies music will cost $200-$500. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the performance length, the number of musicians, and their skill level. A larger oldies band with years of experience may charge a much higher price.
As you begin your search, consider exactly what type of oldies music you want to be performed. Do you want a mix of multiple decades or more focused on a specific era? How big is your event? Do you want a large band, a small band, or a solo performer?
Once you have a vision, begin looking through profiles of local oldies music groups. Check out photos to see what kind of costumes they might wear, if any. Watch videos to see if you like their performance style. Then read reviews from past clients to see what it would be like to work with them.
Party bands and musicians who play oldies music can add a lively atmosphere to a variety of occasions, such as weddings, retirement parties, corporate events, anniversaries, and fundraisers. They’re especially popular for parties and events with a retro or vintage theme, like a 50s-themed party or a sock hop.
Most oldies bands and musicians will have a vast repertoire of top dance hits and popular songs from the 50s, 60, and 70s. Some oldies tunes you might hear are “Twist and Shout” by the Beatles, “Respect” by Aretha Franklin, “Great Balls of Fire” by Jerry Lee Lewis, and “Johnny B. Goode” by Chuck Berry.
If there’s a specific song you want to hear that isn’t already on the band’s setlist, they may be able to add it for your event. Just be sure to make this request as far in advance as possible so they have plenty of time to learn and practice it.
The length of an oldies music performance can vary depending on the event’s needs. Typically, they might perform for anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours. For longer events, plan to have scheduled breaks every 30-45 minutes.
Most oldies groups will bring their own equipment, including instruments, amps, and microphones. However, it’s important to confirm this with the musicians beforehand and discuss any specific equipment needs they may have.
It’s recommended to book an oldies band at least 6 months to a year in advance, especially if you’re planning a wedding reception or large corporate event. However, if you're flexible on dates or have a smaller private party, you may be able to book a band with less notice.
You should start your search for entertainment as soon as you have a date set to ensure you have plenty of time to find the group you want, negotiate fees, and make any special arrangements for your event.
