April 15, 2024Phenomenal!! Absolutely perfect band!
5- star perfection! Band was on time, set up quickly and played a tremendous variety of songs. The venue was a mid size barn style winery and the band picked the best spot for acoustics; sound was perfect! Our guests were able to comfortably talk to each other but still hear the band. So many guests, as well as the staff, gave us compliments on the band! The song selections were amazing based on the genres and years we requested! Such professionals and genuinely nice guys. Highly recommended. Thank you for making our little event so very special!! - Paula Dunlap

What to expect
The Closers are professional and fun. While being very easy to work with, they are adapt to handling any problem or unforseen event that pops with great care. We will be playing music in the background for breaks or any time needed and can taylor that to what ever the client would like. Our energy is very fun and exciting when the party calls for it as well as laid back and relaxed depending on the mood of the event.
If your planning doesn't make sense when we get there about where the band should play or the exact timing of breaks etc.., The Closers have been doing this for a long time and have no problem being flexible.
About
A little bit about the band:
The Closers were born in 2014 from the clever mind of Ed Wilbers and the rhythm lab of conga master Jeremy Yeager. To match Ed’s powerhouse vocals, they plucked the yodeling guitar ace Rick Kinman straight out of the Northern Kentucky scene. In 2021, they leveled up again, adding drummer Freddie Almanza from Grand Rapids, Michigan, locking in the groove and completing this lineup of lovable musical outlaws—known by their loyal fans as the Feral Four.
Based in the Greater Cincinnati area, The Closers are a party band with a serious range—blending dance, country, classic rock, folk, and funk from the ’60s to now. Whether it’s a private party, a corporate blowout, a public event, or a full-on festival, they shape every set to fit the vibe and keep the crowd moving.
Whatever your style, whatever your scene, The Closers bring the fun, the fire, and the tunes to make it unforgettable.
