January 6, 2025I had The Wannabees play a big event on the Roosevelt rooftop. They have a sweet sound that appeals to a broad audience. They bring their magic to covers, have fantastic originals, and are immense crowd-pleasers. They have a diverse selection of tunes and phenomenal male and female singers. The Wannabees also have an upbeat brightness and vibe, making the air shimmer, and the crowd went nuts. I would highly recommend them to anyone lucky enough to book them.
