Top Shelf Oldies is proud to be a “set group” which means that the musicians that you see here and have heard live at our performances, will be the same musicians that will be performing at your event. In the event a member is sick or detained beyond their control we will notify you of this circumstance and may substitute as required. The founding musicians that perform in Top Shelf Oldies meet a certain talent level and any replacement musicians will meet our quality standards to insure your event is completed with the highest satisfaction level we can muster on your behalf.

Q. How does the band dress during a performance?

A. We always seek to dress appropriately for the venue and we will be sure to accommodate your preferences as required. Our attire varies from very casual shorts and dress shirts with sports jackets for country club social events to full formal dress for weddings and formal occasions. If you would like us to dress in something specific, please ask!
