We are ready to roll with a professional sound system, and classic rock costumes—sexy jeans and rock n roll attire. Have a different theme? Just ask—we love to dress up and can fit right in to a leather biker bar, high-end cocktail party, business casual event, or a high school reunion!

We also have a DJ that travels with us and uses the same sound system-- so you get an awesome band AND a DJ for one affordable price! DJ Michelle Mannisto has over 14,000 songs, pretty much anything you can possibly request, an will prepare a playlist especially for you! We also have wireless mic and additional sound systems for multiple rooms or outdoor wedding ceremonies.

Corday is not only a fantastic vocalist and musician, but an actress and a true entertainer, engaging audiences across the nation for years with her irresistible charisma on and off the stage.

She has opened for Cher, Joan Jett, Sugar Ray, The Dave Matthews Band, Pat Benatar, Joan Osborne, The B-52's, Macy Gray, The Indigo Girls, Meredith Brooks, Cyndi Lauper, Berlin, Jonatha Brooke, Sophie B.

Lead guitarist Rosie Aldrete is a real rock star who wows crowds with the passion in her performance. As the only female finalist in Guitar Center King Of the Blues competition, Rosie is an incredible talent. Full-time music teacher with rock n roll style.

Lead guitarist (and occasional drummer) Damien Smith is a full-time professional musician with skill on several instruments. Mainly a lead guitarist, Damien is a fantastic lead player with a fan base all his own. Not bad on the eyes either ; )

Drummer Paloma Estevez is our rockin chick drummer. Paloma is endorsed by Trutone cymbals and teaches music in Los Angeles in between gigs.

Drummer Keith Larsen is our handsome guy drummer, and the one cub you'll often see with the Cougars. Keith is a full time musician and music teacher and a rock solid drummer with passion!

Whatever the line-up, be assured Corday's Cougars are the hottest musicians in town, and the show is top-notch! Don't want a full band? Corday also works regularly as an acoustic act and is available to perform as a soloist, duo, or trio.
