We are a family rock band, Father (rhythm ), 22-year-old son (percussion), 21-year-old son (lead), 18-year-old (bass). We have been playing together for over 12 years with a great look and sound. We play Classic Rock music that is great to dance to! Great for weddings, anniversary parties, town-wide events, and private parties! These kids can rock and roll and it's a great novelty that increases the entertainment value. People cant believe that these kids play and sing this type of music. Pictures and references available on request. Please check out our website and YouTube clips, artist bios, testimonials, song lists, etc.

February 27, 2019I would highly recommend this band. Hired them to play at 50th birthday party. Very classy and professional from top to bottom. Wide variety of music kept everyone happy. I was a bit skeptical at first, because it appeared from my research they did not play many gigs. Don't let that fool you, they were Amazing!

August 12, 2017My son's girlfriend found Straitrun and hired them for my son's surprise 30th birthday party in Osage. They are amazing!!! Their musicality is spot on, they hardly took breaks and their choice of songs was perfect!!!! Everyone enjoyed listening and dancing to their skilled playing and singing!!! Many people at the party took their business cards and I know they will be hired for many future events!!! Some are hoping they'll be willing to drive a couple hundred miles for a gig. I look forward to to hearing them play and dancing to their music again!!! Thank you Straitrun! So happy my son's girlfriend found you!!!!🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎤🎤🎤🎤🎸🎸🎸🎸

"The feedback we have received regarding you and your sons has been amazing, and on several of our evaluations you were listed as the highlight of our visitors' day. (My work -study student said her dad kept saying, "Oh I want to hear this song first and then we'll go." Apparently, this happened several times throughout the day!) I think you know I have always been a fan and you have gained many more by playing at this event. Please accept the enclosed check, in addition to the payment you have already received, as our apreciation to you and your sons for entertaining our guests in extreme conditoins without complaint. On behalf of the Family Day Planning Committee, we THANK YOU!!" Mary Kirkwood Community College Family Day Committee
