About


Since 1990, The Moonlighters have been performing throughout the United States as one of the country's best-loved and most authentic variety bands. In fact, they are also Gigmasters' #1 act with more bookings than anyone else.

Averaging over one hundred appearances per year, The Moonlighters offer affordable quality, specializing in weddings, corporate events, private parties, festivals, and concerts, with an emphasis on strong, soulful vocals and solid instrumentation.

Just close your eyes and you'll swear the original artists are performing. But don't close them for too long or you won't be able to enjoy their outstanding dance moves and showmanship.

Famous for getting guests out on the dance floor and more importantly, for keeping them there, The Moonlighters are experts at reading the crowd, and they gladly take requests, making their performances highly entertaining, free-flowing and interactive as audiences just feed off the band's energy and vice versa.

They can also be booked in several different combinations to fit any budget and type of event, from just two or three musicians to as many as ten or twelve, including one of the tightest horn sections in the country and some of the finest male and female vocalists anywhere.

Meticulously-groomed and costumed, whether it's for a sit-down show, a black-tie affair or an all-out party, The Moonlighters have a performance custom-tailored to best suit each audience and occasion. Featuring HUNDREDS of songs in a wide variety of styles, this versatile band does it all very well.

Critically-acclaimed, they have performed an unprecedented seven times at The Kennedy Center, for countless political and business leaders, at various foreign embassies, and other prestigious venues, covering over twenty different states, including: DC, MD, VA, WV, DE, PA, NJ, NY, KY, TN, OH, IL, NC, SC, GA, FL, and MT.

As seen again and again in their many rave reviews, thousands of appreciative listeners and hundreds of satisfied talent buyers all agree, The Moonlighters are dedicated, professionals truly committed to making each and every show an event to remember.

But of course, they're in heavy demand with a schedule that always fills up fast, so don't delay…please contact them today!
