They were awesome!!!!

They were early and the transition between them and the solo artist was seamless. They truly are a good group of people and an awesome band. This is our second year booking them and they were excellent.

Awesome Band!

"Kids in America" was a lot of fun. They had great energy and really engaged with the crowd we had on hand. Every one of the band members was personable and we they really added to our 80's Night theme. We look forward to having them back again and again.

With Kids in America you not only get a incredible sounding 6 piece band but we bring a full 80s show to the stage. We bring High Energy all night long and like to get the crowd involved. We cover all varieties of 80s music, pop, rock, dance, hair metal, new wave etc. We enjoy dressing up in full 80s clothes/stage and bringing our crowd back in time. We can also dress formal if needed. The joy on their faces when they hear songs that they grew up with is a great feeling.
