We are The Absolutes, and we play great dance music - a timeless mix of Soul, Motown, R&B, and Funk with a touch of Blues. Our high-energy mix of tunes includes everything from the 60's and 70's to current hits.
Our goal is to make sure everyone enjoys moving to the groove and having a great time. We play weddings, private parties, corporate functions, and fund-raisers. We also have a few favorite venues in the Northern Colorado area where we enjoy playing for the general public. We are based in Fort Collins, Colorado and work along the Front Range.

We're professionals. We honor our commitments, we give a 100%, and we guarantee a good time! Here's a comment from one of the weddings we have played for:
"The Absolutes" were the absolute HIGHLIGHT of our wedding reception! People I didn't even know could dance were out there shaking their thing! And it was extremely romantic when they covered Shine A Light for me at my husbands request. I definitely thank them for a great night had by all!"
The Absolutes play music that lifts your soul and makes you want to dance. The material we play spans the generations, and covers Soul, Funk, Motown, and Jazz. We love the music we play, and the crowds we play for love dancing to it. If you have a favorite song that you would like us to play at your event, and it is not on our current song list, we will learn it to perform it for you!
