December 19, 2022Jared was awesome!
Jared is a very talented musician. Folks really loved his set at our street fest, especially the older crowd. I've never seen so many white-haired people "shaking it" for the locals in the street. They loved it and I'm re-booking Jared for next year.

September 1, 2022There was a whole lot of shaking going on
We hired Not Fade Away for our 35th Anniversary celebration. The 90 guests
were mostly in their 60s and 70s…Original We hired NFA for a private party to celebrate our 45th anniversary. The 90 guests were mostly in their 60s and 70s….Rock N Rollers from the 50s-60s. The dance floor was packed for two straight hours. NFA
never took a break…they felt the vibe. They geared their performance to dancing and EVERYONE danced the night away. They are
THE BEST, instrumentally and vocally. I was sad to see them leave. Might become an annual event!

When you hire us, you can expect a fully customizable, professional show tailored to your event and budget. Set lengths range from 90 minutes to 3 hours (with breaks), and we can accommodate up to five special song requests when appropriate.
Group size varies by production—Not Fade Away (2–4 performers), Good Vibrations (4–5 performers), ’70s Rock Road Trip (4 performers), and Forever Everly (2–4 performers)—allowing you to choose the configuration that best fits your space and vision.
We provide all backline gear, including instruments, microphones, and cables. Front-of-house speakers and a dedicated sound technician can be provided upon request for an additional fee. If a stage is required, we can also arrange a rental.
Our team handles load-in and soundcheck well before guests arrive. For a 7:30 PM show, we typically load in at 3:00 PM, soundcheck at 4:00–4:30 PM, and clear the room until showtime.
To elevate your event further, we offer meet-and-greets and merchandise options when appropriate. From setup to final encore, we strive to deliver a smooth, engaging, and memorable experience for you and your audience.
