Description

The Flashbacks have recently been inducted into the ALABAMA MUSIC HALL of FAME with a Musical Achievement Award.

A musical entertainment group providing quality musicianship with excellent vocals and showmanship. The group's unique and versatile style covers many aspects of the musical spectrum from early Motown to today's rock and roll. The musicians in the group come together from a wide array of musical backgrounds. They have been likened to such performers as the Temptations, with dance moves and showy choreography. The fun they have with audience interaction and with each other on stage is contagious, resulting in great fun for everyone.

The Flashbacks is one of the most sought after groups in the southeast. The entertainment factor is off the scale and these guys have years of experience on the show circuit. They are a must for many occasions and events and have played all types of venues such as the Big Spring Jam in Huntsville, 30th Anniversay National Celebration of the Mustang Car Show, River Fest Celebration, Teacher Association meetings, corporate parties and events, class reunions, weddings, picnics, car shows and New Years Eve Bashes!

********************************

To anyone looking for a great band, look no further. These guys really give more than 100%, each and everytime they're in town. They are one of our favorite bands and have performed for us at our last two New Year's Eve parties. If you have the chance to book these guys, you've made the right choice!!! Great crowd interaction, terrific harmonies, a wide variety of musical styles, and most of all they aim to please!! We've already booked them for shows through 2009!!! Keith McClendon - Birmingham

********************************

If you are looking for a band that will play your kind of music, entertain your guests, and get people off their seats and on the dance floor you need to call The Flashbacks. I have been to corporate events and to private parties where they have played and the consensus was unanimous. This is a great band! They have excellent harmony and can reach back to the 50s and bring you right up to todays sounds. Their selections seem unending and they will take your suggestions on the genre you prefer. To start rockin and rollin book The Flashbacks for your next event. You and your guests will be glad you did. Sue T.

********************************

Our dance club has been booking the Flashbacks for about ten years now. They are fantastic entertainers for all age groups. At this past years event the dance floor was packed with our young singles (twenty-one year olds) dancing the night away right up until closing time. We were so pleased, I've already booked them for next year's event. Pudden M. - Gadsden, AL

********************************

"The Flashbacks" is a complete showband that brings back music's greatest hits, from 60's pop bands to 70's Rock and Roll to Disco and much more. With many years of performances, "The Flashbacks" have performed all over the Southeast, including many appearances at the Big Spring Jam in Huntsville. Their professional quality show, crowd interaction, and continued support of worthy local benefits have made them the most popular group in all of north Alabama. With their performances at Yesterdays Event Center's 2007 concert series, they shattered all attendance records, selling out all 5 of their shows, including selling out the final show in an amazing 12 hours!!! I've seen showbands in Nashville, Birmingham, and Memphis, but "The Flashbacks" are the absolute best. Glenn Hall - Yesterday's Event Center

Feedback

  • The flashbacks were absolutely wonderful!! Everyone at the wedding loved them, people were asking them for availability on dates to book them for events at the reception!! They were very entertaining and talented and made sure everyone was having a great time. I am so glad I picked them, I could not have made a better choice, and if we have any type of event anytime soon, they will be our first pick! -- Lesly K, Springville, AL, 4/12/2008
  • Awesome evening! The Flashbacks hit the spot with crowd interaction and fantastic performing. They made me look like a hero for selecting them. -- Todd H, Decatur, AL, 10/4/2007
  • From: Glenn Hall, Director, Yesterdays Event Center, www.yesterdaysevents.com We have produced and hosted shows for the public for the past 6 years, and would like to say "The Flashbacks" are the best showband we have ever had. Their professionalism, music variety, showmanship, and pure talent place them head and shoulders above all other groups we've seen. Because of the tremendous crowd response and success of this concert we will definitely have them back very soon!! Thank you, Glenn Hall, Director -- Glenn H, Athens, AL, 8/3/2007
