Description

The Zippers are a highly polished, professional rock/show band that caters to hi-end clients all over the world. They have performed for most of the Fortune 500 companies and Associations at conventions and trade shows across the country, as well as many celebrity weddings. This is a band that interacts intimately with their audiences, are full of energy, and have a vast repertoire of material. They have great visual appeal as well as extremely wide-ranging styles of music and incredibly versatile vocal styles. The band is available in sizes from 6-piece to a full 12-piece show band that includes 3 gorgeous female front singers and a killer 5-piece horn section. Even the smaller 6-piece group still has 2 horns, 1 female vocalist, and all 5 guys are lead singers as well.

The Zippers were voted Best Dance Band In The USA by National Music Awards in both 2002 and 2007. Music Connection Magazine calls them " . . . perhaps the ultimate cover band of all time." 7-time Star Search vocal group champions, this group never fails to please as they tour the continent and beyond with their amazing performances.

In between tours and traveling engagements, it is not uncommon for The Zippers to have down time, so especially if you have a last minute event (2-4 weeks notice) and the band is open, they will often do smaller local events to fill in, and because they love to play! So check and see - you just may be able to get this incredible band for your event, too!

Feedback

  • They were the most energetic, exciting, and versatile band we've ever heard!! We are from Vegas and have heard them all!!! They played it all from Country Western to Hip Hop, 80's, 90's, Madonna,Lady Antabella, I cannot name them all! The band was an awesome mix of very talented muscians, singers, etc...We loved dancing to their music of high energy!! They were dressed very hip!! We would not hesitate to have them again, they were worth every dime...However, we wouldn't mind a slight discount next time...haha - This is a "no-brainer"....Thank you Zippers for contributing to our awesome Wedding Party of 200 people in Southern Cal, Valley View... -- Toni L, Valley Center, CA, 8/6/2011
