Overview

Radio Retrograde is a cover band like no other. Their repertoire spans decades and bends genres, infusing the sickly sweet of bubblegum pop with the tang of jazz and the satisfying finish of funk and soul. Radio Retrograde packs all the punch of a traditional party band into a small and endearingly quirky package, translating the songs of the likes of The Spice Girls, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson, Hall and Oates, and Elvis Presley to a trio format with upright bass and jazz inspired arrangements.

The fearless trio is made up of Alicia Wrigley on vocals and bass, Devin Moore on vocals and guitar, and Rich Gailey on drums and percussion.

Filled our venue with amazing vibes

Radio Retrograde preformed for our annual corporate Christmas party. We have had so many compliments from guests who enjoyed their performance and said they were one of the best cover bands they’d ever seen so please pass on our huge, heartfelt thanks. Music is such an important element of the day and we really couldn’t have asked for more! Thanks so much!

So talented, fun and easy to work with!

We hired them for our organization's family picnic and everyone loved their music. The songs were fun and familiar with a cool twist. They were ready before the party started and played a great set. They responded back to messages quickly, planned well for my venue and were all-around great to work with. Highly recommend them.

This band was very professional and easy to work with, start to finish. They are so entertaining with their cool, jazzy energy. We got so many comments at our event about how incredible the band was. I'm very grateful that we found them.

Amazing groves and low maintenance!

This band was so easy to work with and they were amazing! Everyone was talking about how talented they were and asked me where I found them. I looked like a genius for booking them. Will book again for sure!

What to expect

When you see us play you'll see three musicians having the time of their lives doing what they love with people they love. It's a simple set up with an organic vibe; no overbearing light and sound production. You will hear songs that you know but done in a unique and creative way. The band is very professional, they will show up, set up, and get the job done. We're snappy dressers with a cool retro-modern look.
Radio Retrograde can adapt to be a good fit for anything from soft background music to a big featured performance.

About

A summer road trip with windows down and radio blaring. A midnight dance party in your kitchen. That song you listened to 6,000 times on your ipod as a teenager. Radio Retrograde feels kind of like that.

Inspired by that feeling you get when you hear a song you’ve totally forgotten that you love, Radio Retrograde is a cover band like no other. Their repertoire spans decades and bends genres, infusing the sickly sweet of bubblegum pop with the tang of jazz and the satisfying finish of funk and soul. Radio Retrograde packs all the punch of a traditional party band into a small and endearingly quirky package, translating the songs of the likes of The Spice Girls, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson, Hall and Oates, and Elvis Presley to a trio format with upright bass and jazz inspired arrangements.

The fearless trio is made up of Alicia Wrigley on vocals and bass, Devin Moore on vocals and guitar, and Rich Gailey on drums and percussion.

Additional booking notes

The only thing that we need is a power source within 25 feet from where we are playing. We provide our own sound and don't generally use lights. If you would like lights we can make it happen but it would cost a little extra.
