Overview

Moldies is a 9-piece band from Pittsburgh, PA playing hits from Stax and Motown, along with other "Moldie Oldies" from the same era.
The band features powerful lead vocals with sweet soul harmonies, 4-piece horn section, keys, and a multi-talented rhythm section.
We love bringing the energy and spirit of classic soul to every show—music that brings people of all ages together to dance, sing along, and feel good.

About

Moldies originally started in 2010 from a group of friends, significant others, and coworkers who had an idea of playing at a one-off Motown tribute show. Everyone liked the music so much, we kept getting asked to play an eclectic range of venues and events. The band eventually parted ways due to life circumstances, but reunited in 2025 with a different lineup and an expanded horn section. We are all lifelong musicians who have played with a variety of musical groups and styles.

Additional booking notes

We typically bring a 7- 9 piece band, (includes 2 - 4 piece horn section).

We can easily provide a stage plot upon request.

Guitar: 1, bass, 1, drums, keyboard 1 (doubles on trumpet), saxophone 2, trombone 1, 3 female vocals.
Adequate stage preferred, but we can be creative set up-wise.
