“Out of the Blue” is an entertaining band full of energetic and educated musicians. They will dance you through a half century of rock and roll with your favorite tunes from the 50’s to the present. Their selection of music makes them ideal for venues that have a wide range of ages such as office parties, bat and bar mitzvahs and weddings. Having performed for community dances, bars, clubs, benefits and weddings, we have seen these rockin’ tunes pack the dance floor every time!
