Rare Heat is a good-time variety cover band based in metro Denver.

We'll give your guests more variety, more harmony and more fun than they expected. You won't hear extended loud solos or have to endure long periods of silence between songs. You will hear very danceable classic to current rock, pop, and blues.

We'll even give you our full song list in advance of the gig and let you put YOUR perfect set together. Plus we'll happily learn a few tunes you request especially for your event.

We guarantee our variety of great material is not only infectiously danceable, but played at a volume loud enough to keep the dancers on the floor, but not so loud that you can't talk to the person sitting next to you. If you're looking for something familiar, yet deliciously unexpected, Rare Heat will entertain your guests with a fresh mix of the songs they already know and love - all night long.

• Excellent band! No hitches, they set up early and played right to the end. Attendees commented on how much they liked the band. The band was receptive to requests to change the volume, and for special requests. I guess the best thing was that the band related to the group, and vice-versa. Hire 'em! -- Vincent H, Longmont, CO, 5/7/2011
• Mike Braun was very professional and accomodating. He communicated regularly with me and answered any questions I had. This was my first time booking talent for an event and he made the experience very pleasant. -- Christopher C, Denver, CO, 8/14/2010
