FANTASTIC CLASSIC ROCK!

From my own experiences, I can tell you with full confidence that DR. BOMBAY are sure to please all Classic Rock lovers, and who doesn't love Classic Rock?!?

I don't know where I begin to tell how awesome this band has been, performing for us the past three years, at our annual BBQ, with over four hundred attendees each year! Every year, we have had so many friends dancing the late day and evening away on our backyard grass, and singing along to Classic Rock all time hits!

Dr. Bombay are all gifted musicians. Professional as can be, from the time of booking our party, to their set up, to their packing up the end of the evening, things have always gone so smooth each year. They have absolutely rocked our property all day and evening long for the past three years one day in Augustl! Oh, did I mention, no complaints from neighbors? That's because since the first time they heard the music, they came over! Now, they all insist on being here every year, and it is THE NEIGHBORHOOD SUMMER HIGHLIGHT! We love our neighbors! Dr. Bombay, actually caused a "breaking of the ice", and now the neighborhood has many get togethers each year as a result. We love our neighbors, and we love and thank Dr. Bombay for making that happen.

Wes Garland has always been available to talk ahead and made sure the music and their sound system was sure to please. What a great crew! We've had various bands over the past years, but Dr. Bombay is the best, and that is the reason they have been our band of choice now for three years running!

Again, I consider Dr. Bombay a must, to anyone who wants to have a rocking good party, whether it be an outdoors event, or for an indoors dance, or wedding reception. Our friends can’t stop talking about them.

Wes, thank you and to all of Dr. Bombay! You really make our annual summer BBQ extra special!

What to expect

We have excellent equipment, experienced musicians / crew, and a passion for entertaining your crowd. Our technical needs are simple: a roof over our heads and some electricity for our equipment... and we can supply those if necessary. We are equally at home at a backyard barbeque or a corporate shindig. Let us know the type of show you'd like, where and when you'd like it, and we'll make it happen. We can supply PA, lights, as needed for any size of event, or we can work with on-site production.

About

We are five experienced musicians with decades of experience in the industry between us. Our act includes electric guitar, acoustic guitar, drums, bass guitar, piano, synthesizer, Hammond organ, and multiple members who sing. This gives Dr. Bombay a wide musical palette, allowing us to play a great selection of tunes, rather than the same old tired numbers you hear week in and week out.

We put on a well-planned show suited to your event, and bring a high level of energy when appropriate. We focus on playing songs which will keep our audience dancing, singing along, and having a great time. We arrive on time, play at an appropriate volume, and tailor our act to suit your event.

We will work with you to plan the right entertainment for your event, including special requests, such as a specific wedding song.

Additional booking notes

We are able to provide our own production down to the last detail -- lights, PA equipment, operator.
