Flashbaxx Cover Band from Cleveland, OH

FLASHBAXX does just that…we “flash back” in time to the 60's+ 70's, singing the great tunes from that era! People can hear familiar and beloved favorites, and go back in time and reminisce about the past…..seasons and milestones in their lives marked by music. We appeal to a wide demographic and are a perfect fit for private parties, retirements, anniversaries, birthdays, clambakes, reunions, and summer picnics. We have a great sound system, and years of experience getting the volume and clarity just right in a variety of settings. The music is a great back-drop, at a volume that is still conducive to visiting and conversation. As of Jan 2, 2020 we have performed at 55 different venues, many of them multiple times. We've played in bars, restaurants, senior centers, large party centers, wineries, assisted living places, class reunions, a block party, and Christmas, Halloween, and July 4th gatherings. Bill Rebol and I have regularly performed OLDIES for 5+ yrs. enjoying a steady flow of performing, but we're looking to step it up and play even more and The Bash will help achieve that goal. When party rooms book events, we hope people searching for OLDIES live entertainment will find us on the site and contact us. Bill has played the guitar for about 50 yrs. and plays harmonica and worked with many musicians and done guitar masses at his church for decades. With FLASHBAXX, he plays guitar, the loop pedal, harmonica, and sings both lead and harmonies. I sing lead on many songs, do harmonies, and percussion. My foray into music started later, in my early 50's and I haven't stopped singing since then. Bill and I (and additionally our drummer Dan) get together on a regular basis to practice and learn new material. One of the really great things we bring to the table is a diverse song list. I don't like it when listening to a band and every song sounds like the one before it. We avoid that by mixing up our song list, so listeners never know what is coming next. If you don't care for one song, you may love the next. From Johnny Cash country, to sweet Anne Murray, then edgy Eurythmics, a pop hit, and back to country again keeps it interesting. Our male/female voices expands our possibilities even further! We primarily do 60's + 70's and are always adding to our repertoire. Keep us in mind for Christmas events, because we have compiled a nice holiday collection over the years. We are not a “dance band”, but more of a hang out and listen to good music group, with an occasional great dance tune. Frequent and/or prolonged breaks are not our forte, preferring to keep breaks short and playing a longer first set before breaking. When great familiar hits are being played, people generally tend to stick around, so breaks are held off until at least half-way through a performance. We enjoy mingling with patrons enjoying our material. In our 5+ yrs. none of our gigs have started late. We arrive at venues at least an hr early to set up, which allows a cushion to deal with potential sound issues. For bigger events, or a new place, we arrive even earlier. Two separate sound systems allow us to accommodate to the size of a venue. In 2019 our drummer friend Dan started joining us depending on venue space as well as client request. Bill has played with Dan before, so intermittently adding him was an easy transition. We got awesome feedback from a gala of 300+ in 10/19, and they already confirmed us for their 2020 event because they were so pleased. Moving forward, our hope is that we can get Dan and his awesome drum skill set added to as many performances as possible. Our price range is $300-$650 depending on duo/trio, length of gig, and travel distance. We charge $100/hr for duo and $150/hr for trio for playing time. There is a $100 ""set up charge"" which covers the hour+ set up of our equipment + taking down of equipment. We arrive at least an hour prior to gigs and have never started one late. We've done 1 to 4 hr gigs, and for a small fee we can personalize the song list to be sure to get in preferences. Plan a party for a special person and we can play their favorites! Ask if you want to see the list of places we've played and artists we do. We have already earned the gigmaster "rapid responder" award for getting back to prospective clients within 24 hours. We will do our very best to keep the bar high for our customer service. Our OLDIES group (duo OR trio) would love to collaborate with you and exceed your entertainment expectations!
