Grateful Red is a high energy Rock and R&B band based in the Twin Cities. In addition to vocals, drums, keyboards and guitars, we have a horn section (trumpet, sax, trombone) that differentiates us from other bands around town. We have headlined at the Aquatennial, Lake Harriet Band Shell and the St. Paul Winter Carnival. We play classic and popular rock, R&B and funk hits from well-known artists like Stevie Wonder, Chicago, Bruno Mars and more.
These guys are the real deal...they're doing this as a side gig to their full time jobs, so the energy they bring is real because they love what they're doing. Not overly expensive because they aren't depending on the paycheck and it's clear they just want the crowd to have a great time. Plus, where else are you going to find a full horn section in a cover band?? My only criticism would be if you are expecting to provide a whole bunch of song requests to them on the fly...they have a large setlist but with that many instruments it's not realistic to take requests from the audience.
That said...it was still so much fun...I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
