Rocks the Stage no matter where they go.

Ratnip plays great music. They are professional in their appearance on and off the stage. Even if your a hard to please person, they will please you and have you begging for more. They are the greatest around.

What to expect

Full on ENERGY just like you remember back in the day of the 80's "hair band" days. RATNIP is not just a band for the ears, but entertaining for the eyes as well, and they dress the part of the 80's rock band as well, unlike most bands that show up in t-shirts and jeans.
If you want the Arena Rock experience, Ratnip is guaranteed to give you the total show from dynamic vocals, to Nashville award winning screaming guitars.

About

Ratnip is an award winning, #1 ranking 80's Arena Rock band covering the Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana tristate area. They are known for their full on energy, 80's rock wardrobe and bringing back the songs that we all rocked to back in the day. Now they're ready to ROCK THE SOUTH!

Additional booking notes

Ratnip is capable of either providing their own Pro Audio equipment for crowds up to 500 people, or plug in to house P/A systems. For larger venues, we can discuss the needs for large event Pro Audio and Lighting systems, as provided through one of our third party Event Multimedia Contractors.
Guitars and Vocals are wireless, and not afraid to go from stage and bring the show right into the crowd (conditions and exceptions based upon circumstances of the event).
