Blown Away

I was able to catch this band at Frank's Pasta & Grill in Cobourg.
I had seen them on Facebook, but had yet to catch a performance.
WOW - is not enough.
Great musicians, quality variety of great music, and better than all else, they are fantastic people.
My wife and I will be checking these guys out int he future, as we have informed all of our friends.
Simply a class act.

Sandy;

Truly appreciate meeting you and your "Crew".
Also - it was a pleasure to have you join us on stage for a couple of songs, as that is what we are all about.
We look forward to seeing you at a future show, and please feel free to join us once again, always a blast.

Cheers;
The Decades Band

PS - Thank you for the video.

The Decades Band rocked our wedding!! Everyone had a great time, and thought the mix of music was awesome! The guys are all very personable and even picked up on a running joke from the speeches, pulling the mother of the bride on stage. Thanks for coming all the way to Quebec...Kristen and Brendan!

A high energy band providing you with great music, and a dance filled night.
Playing music we grew up loving, and wanting to provide that "something a little different", we decided to take the route less travelled when it comes to our musical set lists.
You know when your not sure if you know a song by the title, but when it starts you find yourself tapping your feet and singing along...well thats exactly what we wanted to create when we started our band.
Playing memories from the past while inserting some current material keeps the entire audience enthralled.
Also, due to the fact that we are 50 - 50 and 45...we believe that provides us the edge when it comes to what people want to hear, and thus lends us that "experience" factor in performing the music of the generations.
With 3 members with varying musical influences, we come to choose our material based upon the "thats awesome" factor.
This is what we believe sets us aside from most other acts.
Making sure to keep the songs energetic, we add our own "spin" without taking away the integrity of the music.
The Decades Band will keep you moving, singing and wanting more at your venue and/or event.
Contact us today to see what we can provide for you.

About

Jim Brennen
Age: What's it matter?
Bass Guitar & Vocals
Altering of lyrics, shameless jokes, and yet still as charming as one can be on the mic!

Dale Campbell
Age - Younger than Jim - yeah
Guitar & Vocals

Raised in Kingston, enough said?
Most likely not, but this "walking jukebox" is as talented as he is salt and pepper!

Chris Brennen
Age - Yes, younger than Jim yet older than Dale...interesting!
Drums - Various Noises

Don't let this mild-mannered demurred kind of guy get you on the wrong path.
Once he steps away from the kit, he is on his own, we assume no responsibility.
Seriously, we don't.
"Keep it fun and let’s get the Ladies dancing" ​
