July 11, 2021Great Party Band
We had Blast to the Past Band perform for our parent's 50th wedding anniversary, and they did not disappoint. A great addition to our backyard party, with all the classic oldies and perfect for dancing! We would highly recommend them for your next event.

August 24, 2025Fun Oldies Music
Jerry put on a long show of oldies music for our 55 and over community that we all were able to relate and sing to. He sang many songs and some of our residents even danced to the music. A good time was had by all.
