About
"THE RAZORS ROCK...consistently cool music! Check out their next gig and bring friends. Good times !" -- Cerphe Colwell, of Cerphe's Progressive Show.
“If you're looking for a cover band that does it all, then the Razors are ready to rock for you - and do they ever! Jon, Ron, Rich, Charlie, and Steve have a unique blend that few bands can offer. And you will be hard pressed to find five nicer guys who really love what they're doing. The Razors have a sound of their own. Check them out. These guy's are great!!” -- Johnny Holliday, TV Sportscaster, Former Top 40 DJ, and “Voice of the Maryland Terps”
The Razors band is an enthusiastic, experienced cover group doing classic rock, blues, country, dance, and current hits. We are regular players at Clydes in Chevy Chase - and the honorary club band for the Baltimore Yehudim Riders motorcycle club- and have gigged at Flannagan's Harp and Fiddle, the National Press Club (for a 600 guest fundraiser), the Manor Country Club, the Capitol City Brewing Company, Growlers Pub, the Young Presidents Organization annual party, the Loudoun Fox Hunt Club Ball, Meadowbrook Farms Annual Crab Feast, Georgetown University, Dad's Neighborhood Pub, the Outta the Way Cafe, Hank Dietles in Rockville, MD, and many other venues, private parties, and weddings during the past several years. Members are Jon Gadsden on percussion and vocals, Richard Earle on lead guitar and vocals, Ron Cihlar on vocals and bass, Steve Moore on vocals, guitar, keyboards, and harmonica, and Charlie Moore on drums. Our "substitute" lead guitarist, Dave Rodler, has been with us since 2007, and is available to fill-in on gigs, giving the band an added measure of reliability. The Razors specialize in music that isn't overplayed, including ambitious,complicated tunes such as "Jessica" by the Allman Brothers and the Jimi Hendrix version of "All Along The Watchtower" as well as fun ("Secret Agent Man" medley), and dance songs ("Hook," "Shotgun" etc.) With personality, humor - and FOUR voices - we rock hard when necessary, and deliver smooth sounds when appropriate. For weddings and events, we provide a beautiful acoustic set prior to the dance party. We don't hype, we just deliver pro music and crowd enjoyment. Try us out for your next celebration. And thanks for your consideration.

Event

"Absolutely phenomenal entertainers. St. Patricks Day party and no one would or could sit down thanks to great music. My friends were blown away with their sound and their wide range of songs. The lead singer actually did a Irish jig which was very entertaining. Then he did The Worm which had everyone laughing. This is a good band !!!! "

Wedding Reception
in Ellicott City, MD
on 09/15/2012
"The Razors made my wedding reception truly memorable. The most important thing for me was to be able to have my brother perform 2 songs with them. Steve and my brother stayed in communication with each other leading up to the day, and the songs sounded amazing. They also learned and perfected three others for us. They interacted with the crowd, had my flower girl playing the tambourine, even me (the bride) playing the cow bell...they were SO much fun! I need to plan another party soon so I can hire them again, they were just awesome!"

Wedding Ceremony

on 05/26/2012
"The Razors played at our wedding a few weeks ago and we are so, so happy with our experience. We had a few song requests that we were hoping they could learn for us (one by a local band), and they were more than willing to learn everything. Not only did they learn them, but they perfected them. They also played a beautiful acoustic set during our cocktail hour that our guests loved.
Not only were they accommodating to our vision for our reception, but they are talented and entertaining as well. They sounded amazing, had a great set, and got the guest up and dancing. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a fun, skilled, outgoing band."

"These guys were awesome. The party was almost a week ago and people are still coming up to me and talking about and asking about the band. If you are planning a party, THIS is the band you need to hire.
The playlist was great, the performances were spot-on, and the band is very charismatic, eager to please, and ready to play.
Hire them.... hire them now!

Dinner Dance
in Leesburg, VA
on 10/29/2011
"Our party was a huge success a large part due to the Razors. We had an unexpected snowstorm dump several inches of snow and ice and without fail, the band showed up despite their long drive!
We loved the crowd interaction and people are still talking about the range of music.
They are the utmost professionals in all areas of communication and with how they set up and tear down after the event was over.
We hope to use the Razors again for our future events.
"

Wedding Reception

on 08/07/2010
"The Razors were an awesome band for our wedding. Their style of music is very entertaining. They were very cooperative and accomodating working with us, even working on a couple of new songs they hadn't played before. They came together and the wedding and entertainment were amazing. I would definitely recommend The Razors band for any of your gigs be it a wedding, private party, or bar scene, if you like any type of classic rock The Razors will keep you thoroughly entertained throughout the course of the event."

Picnic
in Baltimore, MD
on 07/17/2011
"Our third engagement hiring The Razors to perform and as always a great time. You know you have a great band when your guests are asking them if they perform in their area. The Baltimore Yehudim Riders / The Tribe MC picnic was a huge success and The Razors were a big part of it. The Razors have become the honorary club band for the Baltimore Yehudim Riders. HIRE 'EM!! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!. We'll definitely have them back!

Corporate Function
in Solomons, MD
on 10/14/2011
"Entertaining a party of close to 300 people can be tough, but The Razors kept their cool, and the crowd happily entertained. They were quite funny, more of comedians at times..which kept our group laughing. They played a wide range of music for every preference, and they even kept up with my requests for announcements...which we had alot! During a Pie Eating Contest among co-workers, they kept the crowd involved, and enjoying the contest. For our Corporate Annual Harvest Fest, they were a perfect fit. I received nothing but positive feedback and even some requests to have them back in the future. Thanks Razors!"

"The Razors were a great group, not only can they sing, but they are great entertainers!! We would love to have them back again to play for us, they are a fun group of guys!! I had many people come to me throughout the weekend of our event and commented on how much they enjoyed them!!"

Wedding Reception
in Silver Spring, MD
on 09/23/2012
"The Razors played our wedding, and it was great. Everyone had a wonderful time, from my 76 year old grandfather to my early 20s cousins. In other words, they're very good at playing a variety of songs and keeping a diverse group happy and having fun! I've received so many compliments from my wedding guests about how much they loved the band and how fun and talented they are. They were flexible to minor schedule changes and great at letting guests know that set events were about to take place (i.e. cake cutting etc.) Thanks guys!"

The Razors’s Response:
"It was an honor playing the Meadowbrook Farms, and for a family affair that has long ties with Washington history. And the crabs and ribs were astonishingly delicious. Our bass player said the ribs were the best he's had, and he is a ribs expert. Thanks so much for a great gig."
