Party Central=RFactor!!

Having experienced RFactor in November for my daughters wedding I have to share just how phenomenal this incredibly talented group is and what a party they created for us! Bandleader Emil had all of our guests dancing until the last minute our venue allowed us to be present. Our guests did not want to leave and begged for more. The band is in elegant dress with tuxes and beautiful gowns but they create a fun party atmosphere, joining us on the dance floor and some of our guests joining them on the stage! They play oldies plus a lot of new music and all ages had a great time at the wedding! Kudos to RFactor. I can't wait to have another event for you to play!! Finest band in the twin cities!!

Hired as: Cover Band, R&B Vocalist
