AMAZING BAND--We Danced all night!

My wife and I saw this Band at the Plano Arts and Wine Festival in McCall Plaza. A powerhouse! Connie thought it was from the radio or soundtrack until we saw a live Band playing! We just booked Retriever for our Christmas party. They sound like a stadium band or at the least the best cover Band I've heard in years! We couldn't sit down!!! Sore the next day from dancing. Retriever is a pleasure.

FANTASTIC DANCE BAND

I was with friends at the Van Alstyne City Festival. We were tired after work on a Tuesday night..so were thinking about staying home....but then a friend texted us that the Band was incredible so we bucked it up and came out on a 100 degree plus evening. So glad we did!!!!!!!
We were blown away by the talent. Even did Supertramp and Sledgehammer. Tight. I already asked our City to book next year before these guys get filled up.
Retriever is excellent. Vocals terrific. Musicians tight. Very professional.

Rock n Roll Is Alive and Well!

Drove 35 miles in the rain from McKinney to see Retriever. First time to hear the band and I was not disappointed. I would definitely do it again. Good rock n roll to listen to or dance. In fact, I just couldn't sit still, so off to the dance floor for a great evening. Highly recommend going to whatever venue Retriever is playing at and for your private party. Will continue to follow this band.

Always fun!

I have seen Retriever twice. Both times they had everyone out of their seats, dancing and singing along. They bring a lot of energy.

What to expect

You can expect timely arrival and set-up. We will be respectful and careful with your home or venue. We will start on time and provide all the music you requested. We will be fun and engage your guests. We will never be vulgar or rude. We do not smoke. We LOVE playing music and seeing people happy and dancing! We do this because of passion (we all have professional careers outside of music so this is a labor of LOVE). At the conclusion of our performance we will pack up and leave no footprint except happy memories.

About

Retriever! A six-member powerhouse rock band bringing back some of the best and less often performed hits from the the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's with a heavy focus on the 80's. Music from David Bowie, The Police, Supertramp, Paul McCartney, Billy Idol, Elton John, Badfinger, The Beatles, just to name a few. The band features two guitarists, bass, drums, multi-keyboards, incidental percussion and two stellar lead vocalists. Everyone sings and the harmonies soar to the sky! The musicians are all seasoned pros, having performed all over the USA in the past including full time road bands. But now home in Dallas, Texas coming to you locally to rock your socks off, get you out of your seat and moving to the beat. Available for private parties, corporate events and festivals.
