Raised On Radio

Raised On Radio plays an eclectic mix of 80’s pop hits as well as other decades. Songs from bands like Journey, Pat Benatar, Huey Lewis, Joan Jett, Billy Joel, Blondie and Rick Springfield just to name a few. EXCEPT, no Free Bird. No Brown Eyed Girl. No cry in your beer country songs. No, what you get with Raised On Radio is a FLASHBACK to those FUN, AND A YOUTHFUL NIGHTS (or days) OF UN-ABASHED FUN!

Raised On Radio can provide a full PA complete with recorded music before, between sets and after the show. You will SWEAR you're listening to your favorite radio station from BACK WHEN!

IS VOLUME LEVEL AN ISSUE? Live music is usually very loud. Raised on Radio is a completely in ear band, meaning there are NO LIVE AMPS, MONITORS or ACOUSTIC DRUMS. Most bands must be as loud as the drums. Raised On Radio uses a state-of-the-art electronic drum set and other modeling amplifiers for the guitars allowing complete control over volume levels. Raised On Radio is one of the VERY FEW bands in Northwest Arkansas where virtually NO SOUND EMITS from the stage giving them COMPLETE control over the PA volume levels. The loudest thing coming off the stage will be the vocals. We can CRANK IT UP! Or TURN IT DOWN! Whichever you prefer.

If there are multiple sets are needed, Raised On Radio can provide music played between sets as well. Also stage and dance floor lighting can be provided if needed.

Shows typically run one of the following ways.
- 3 sets with small break between sets.
- 2 sets with a small break between.
These are typically 3 hour shows

Don't worry, BE HAPPY, 'cause the music won't stop! We will keep the tunes rolling as the band recovers! If you wish, we can play recorded music between sets/breaks. (We are very flexible regarding length and timing of playing time.)

WANT TO PARTY LIKE IT'S 1985? If you want an 80's themed party.... THAT'S WHERE WE STARTED!!! We specialize in 80's music. We're not LIMITED to the 80's, but it is our strong suit.

Raised On Radio can entertain any crowd in any venue. From the smallest club to large music venues and even private events. Raised on Radio has played the wildest bars during Bikes, Blues and BBQ, to a private family friendly corporate event. Raised On Radio can entertain them all.

SPECIAL NOTE! We, the members of Raised on Radio, completely understand every situation is different. Sometimes "ROWDY" fun is ok. Most of the time, especially private or corporate events, MUST be what is known as family, professional friendly. We are above all professional adults that completely understand what that means and are more than happy to keep it family friendly.

Raised on Radio has been rockin’ since 2009 and plays an eclectic mix of 80’s pop hits as well as other decades. Songs from bands like Journey, Pat Benatar, Huey Lewis, Joan Jett, Billy Joel, Blondie and Rick Springfield just to name a few. The band not only performs the fun pop hits of the 80’s and other surrounding decades. They LIVED the decades and played most of those songs when they first hit the charts! They had the big hair and wore the Miami Vice jackets. Well, most of the members did anyway.

Staging & Electrical needs:
Raised On Radio doesn't need a huge concert stage 50 feet wide. BUT, we are a 5 piece band with keyboards and a full drum set. We can almost make any space work but we can only get so small. Our preference is a stage or area that is in the neighborhood of 20 feet wide and 16 feet deep. Open for discussion.

Electrically speaking, the more the better. But 2 separate circuits of 110 will work.
