Overview

What's the best part of the 90s and 00s? The music, of course! The Killers' throwback new-wave style, Alanis's vitriolic delivery, and Chili Peppers' not-so-subtle innuendos are just a few contributions to the soundtrack of a generation that loudly stated, "I won't do what ya tell me". St. Louis, MO's Proud Larry is out to amplify that soundtrack. Proud Larry specializes in a variety of hits from the 90s and 00s that you don't hear every other band playing. Proud Larry pride themselves on an upbeat, nostalgic songlist and a show that is guaranteed to put feet on the floor and hands in the air. Dust off your CDs and get ready to jam to the bangers that defined the turn of a century!

Five Stars Isn't Enough

Proud Larry absolutely made our event in St. Louis. They had everyone out of their seats dancing – truly brought the energy in all the right ways. They took great direction on noise level, intuitively knew when guests needed time to mingle and talk, and then knew exactly when to crank it up and turn the night into a full-on party.

We’ve had an insane amount of people reach out to tell us how incredible the band was. Their setlist was perfect, their vibe was on point, and they elevated the entire experience. Honestly, we should’ve charged admission with how good they were.

If you’re thinking about booking them, do it. Book them, trust them, let them do their thing – you won’t be disappointed. Proud Larry is an exceptional band and an absolute win for any event.

About

What was the best part of the '90s and '00s? The music, of course! Primus' delightful weirdness, The Killers' new-wave throwback style, Alanis's vitriolic delivery, blink-182's hilarious immaturity, and Chili Peppers' not-so-subtle innuendos were just a few contributions to the soundtrack of a generation that loudly and proudly stated, "I won't do what ya tell me". St. Louis, Missouri's Proud Larry is out to amplify that soundtrack.

Proud Larry specializes in a wide variety of hits from the '90s and '00s that you don't hear every other cover band playing. Longtime friends and colleagues Brian Schaeffer, Jeff Nations, Brad Wood, and Chuck Williams pride themselves on an upbeat, nostalgic songlist and an engaging stage show that is guaranteed to put feet on the dance floor and hands in the air. Dust off your CDs and cassettes and get ready to jam out to the bangers that defined the turn of a century!
