I am the president of Old Pueblo Riders and also set entertainment for Shooter Steakhouse and Saloon. I have had the honor of having this very versatile band play our venue. And am sure we will be calling upon them again soon. If your looking for good entertainment I recommend them highly.

We have had Vindaloo a couple of times at our clubhouse and are getting ready to book them again. Power trio performing great classic rock covers. Perfect mix of 70s 80s and 90s. 🤘🙋👍

August 9, 2024Fresh New Sound
We absolutely loved having the band play at the depot last summer! They were a part of our Make Music Day celebration outside and their sound really provided us with a fresh new energy that was much needed in our lineup of music! Very friendly group, very easy to work with, always a pleasure to work with them when they’re in town!

Thank you Steve! It was a perfect day to play outside with the warm summer sun and cool Lake Superior breeze. The people were great, the food was great, and venue was awesome!. We truly appreciate your review and look forward to another trip up north next summer.
