The Radio Flyers provide a "Party Band" experience centered around great party Rock and Roll and dance music from over six decades of hits! We'll keep the party on their feet with a versatile song selection that spans The Doobie Bros to Maroon 5. We take great pride in our ability to provide a mix of music unlike many other cover acts in the KC area. We boast strong vocals, harmonies, and musicianship with over 100 years of combined professional experience and nearly a decade of playing together with the same band members.
With our professional gear and experience, we can tailor a live music party for any event large or small! (Acoustic performances also available.)
We had Broken Wagon (Radio Flyers) to our house for my wife's 40th birthday party along with 50 of our closest friends. They were phenomenal! The playlist was perfect (classic rock to current top 50 songs), they sounded awesome, and everyone at the party was envisioning their next event with them there. I called John before the show and mentioned that my wife is a big John Denver fan. They learned "Country Road" and nailed it!
The next time we want live music - it will be a no-brainer to call The Radio Flyers.
Response from The Radio Flyers:
Josh, Thank you for the excellent review! We had an excellent time at your wife's birthday party. You were gracious hosts, and everyone was welcoming and fun! Would be more than happy to work with you again in the future!
The Radio Flyers consistently provide a sound, vibe, and musical mix that have made them my go-to band, whether I am booking for a coporate event like the American Royal BBQ, or just getting a few friends together for a house party. Their music makes the party, and I always feel the party becomes the place to be when the Radio Flyers are playing.
Response from The Radio Flyers:
Thanks Kurt! It's always a blast working with you!
I used these guys multiple times this last year at The Plaza and love how clean great their vocals sound. They have a huge song list as well. These guys are a perfect fit for private parties as well.
I have seen this band at a few different venues. They have a great playlist and they know the crowd , always has the crowd up and dancing.
The Radio Flyers were absolutely amazing and a perfect choice for our 20 year class reunion. They played a variety of music from the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and even current songs on the radio. The band was energetic and entertaining. They interacted with our classmates and even took requests. John was very flexible with our location for the reunion and he was in constant communication with me throughout the process. If you are looking for a cover band for your reunion, private party, or other event....look no further. These guys are the real deal!
After seeing The Radio Flyers perform a few times at Jerry's Bait Shop, I booked them for my husband's birthday party. This band is phenomenal! The playlist was stellar; the performance was outstanding; and the group was wonderful and professional to deal with. Our party guests were delighted!
Response from The Radio Flyers:
Thank you for the kind words Lila! You were all wonderful hosts, and I know we all loved the room and food!
