It's hard to beat the 60's - 70's era of music for sheer joy and energy. And no band was ever more popular than the Beatles with their unforgettable songs, crafted in rich variety. From straight-up Rock, Blues, Pop, to the original Psychedelic Rock. Blackbird is here to skillfully deliver all of it to your event.
Blackbird captures the Beatles through their various phases, from She Loves You and Twist and Shout to Lucy in the Sky and Don't Let me Down. Having Blackbird at your event will ensure that you enjoy all the sounds that made the Beatles one of the greatest influences on modern music. Great for dancing or just listening, let Blackbird treat you and your guests to a memorable and unique experience that is sure to make your event stand out.
Based in the Portland, Oregon area (Beaverton, Hillsboro), Blackbird is available to play at your wedding or corporate party with over 3 hours of live Beatles music; or a mix of Beatles and other classic rock covers, dinner music or great dancing songs. So whether you want pure Beatles or a mix of classic rock songs, Blackbird is sure to deliver a great live performance.

Blackbird arrives with a fanastic soundsystem and a paid sound engineer to run it. They also come with a complete lighting system, including a laser dance floor system (with fog machine, when requested) that really livens the atmosphere!

Blackbird can tailor their performance to perfectly match your event, and can also provide prerecorded music for when they are not performing.

• If you want to have a great time this is the band! They were prompt, courteous and accomodated us in every way. They nailed every song they performed and had a group of 50 up and dancing the night away. Steve tailored the music to the event and the band even learned a couple of songs for the evening. If you enjoy the Beatles and classic rock, don't hire a band until you listen to these gentlemen. Mark and Tonya N. Beaverton,OR -- Mark N, Portland, OR, 11/14/2009
• Blackbird was a wonderful addition to our event and I would recommend them over and over. They were cheerful, easy-going and worked well with our committee staff. I hope we were as nice to work with as they were. Many participants involved in the event, from all age groups, commented on how much they enjoyed the entertainment and loved singing along. Thank you so much for helping us find the perfect match for our event! Heidi Kearney -- Heidi K, West Linn, OR, 6/19/2009
