Rockin' good time!

I hired this band for my birthday party and they absolutely knocked it out of the park! From the first song to the last, the energy was incredible — every single guest enjoyed them. They read the room perfectly and kept the vibe going all night long.

You could tell they were having as much fun as we were, which made the whole experience feel special rather than just a performance. Several guests came up to me asking where did I find them.

If you're looking for live music that will make your event truly memorable, look no further. I can't recommend them highly enough — they made my birthday one to remember!

Hired as: 1990s Era Entertainment, Cover Band

What to expect

We offer easy access to a great 3-hour (or less) rock show with little to nothing but electricity and a place to play from an organizer. The audience is going to be transported in time by the best rock radio hits from the era.

About

The Era's Edge pays tribute to the top rock bands of the 90s/00s grunge, rock, and alt-rock scene. We're driven by a passion for the music from this era - which we believe is the last great era of rock and roll. We're based out of the Aurora/Naperville area but can travel. We are a fully self-contained band from musicians, to instruments, to gear, to full PA and even lights if needed. We can also travel lighter and plug into an existing set-up.

Additional booking notes

The band requires a suitable and safe performance area that can reasonably accommodate all musicians and gear. The performance area needs to be supplied with a safe electricity source. The band can provide all gear required to produce the show or can fit in with a provided backline if necessary.
