What to expect

A fun, memorable, fairly high-energy set full of popular hits from 1990 to 2010. Our goal is for anyone and everyone around the age of 30 to feel both excited and nostalgic hearing songs that defined their youth as these same songs defined ours. We encourage crowd interaction and participation, and love when the crowd is excited to hear our favorite songs as we are to play them!

About

Straight to VHS is made of four dedicated musicians:
Corey: lead vocals/drums
Kyle: lead vocals/guitar
Thom: bass guitar
Zach: backing vocals/guitar

We all love playing music and putting on the best live shows that we can. The songs we play are ones that we grew up listening to, so we have a respect and appreciation for them that ensures we play them as faithfully as possible.

Additional booking notes

For larger venues, we would prefer a PA be provided. If there’s not one available, we will bring our own but it may require an additional fee. For small to medium venues, we are happy to bring and setup our own equipment.

If the venue has an in house light and/or sound engineer, we would be thrilled to use them. Otherwise, we can perform our own soundcheck and build our own mix to provide the highest quality sound possible for your venue.
