The History of Rock n Roll brings the decades of Rock n Roll - the 50's, 60's, 70's & 80's - to life! Complete with costumes, video, and of course the music that defines each decade – it's more than a concert – it's more than a show - it's an experience.
Bandleader John Pinna created “History of Rock n Roll” to pay homage to the music he loved – starting with the 50's. “Both of my parents grew up in the 50's” recalls John “we always had 50's music playing in my house.”
Combining the “look” of each decade is just as important to this experience as the music. What better way to represent each decade than to wear the fashions of each decade that people remember so fondly. It's fun!”

July 17, 2019Where do I start, wow, wow, wow, wow, electric, wow, energy, wow, if you bypass hiring this band, you really missed it. They are terrific, personable and played and sung like you wouldn’t believe. I am still getting comments about that night. Comments like “Best band we ever had.” I will hire them again without question.

I can remember quite vividly the sounds of Elvis Presley echoing throughout my childhood.”
Combining the “look” of each decade is just as important to this experience as the music. “It's not enough to simply play the songs. Music is the soundtrack to people's lives so what better way to represent each decade than to wear the fashions of each decade that people remember so fondly. It's also a lot of fun!”
