Leather & Lace Acoustic & Dance Bands

We are the most versatile cover artists you will ever come across in NE Ohio & Western PA!

We can play any genre or decade of music!

Our variety shows consist of music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, all the way to Today and include Rock, Pop, Country, Folk, R&B/Soul, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Classical. We play Top 40, have over 600 songs in our library, can learn special requests, and can play live requests off the cuff.

Also, we can customize a themed show for almost any crowd. For example, we can play a night of all country…..or a night of all 70s/80s Rock….or a Motown/R&B night. Additionally, we can design themed playlists for special themed events. For example: Summer Party playlist with songs about summer! We can play a customized feminine & romantic music playlist for bridal showers! There is no limit to the customization we can provide. Or alternatively, we can play “to the crowd”…and design our playlist on the spot based on our decades of performance experience and knowledge of how to read a crowd! Most of our All Requests Shows we play 75% or more of the songs that the guests/crowd request!

We have an online resource of all songs in our library online. I can send this to anyone interested in booking us.

I was raised listening to and loving almost every genre & decade of music from the 50s to Today and that is exactly what we pride ourselves on playing! I’m 43 years young and I’m young enough to appreciate the newest and most requested songs and old enough to know all the classics that have stood the test of time and are loved by every generation!

We've heard from our clients, "You can play Anything!" and “Wow! I didn’t realize a band was playing at first, it sounded like the radio…you guys are Phenomenal!”

I work with the most experienced, talented, and professional musicians who each have decades of corporate/wedding event experience.
