Rocket 88 Country Band from Washington, DC

Rocket 88 is a three piece Acoustic Rockabilly Band -Guitar, Upright Bass, and Drums. We do the standard Rockabilly repertoire - Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Stray Cats, Elvis, plus an eclectic mix of other artists such as the Beatles, Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Ike Turner, and just about anything you'd like to hear. We cover the decades from the 50's to the 80's, so there's usually something for everyone. In addition, we deliver the tunes with a humorous dialogue and encourage the audience to get involved. What sets us apart is that we have the dynamic range for any event - large or small . We can play acoustically for Cocktail Hours, where people want to hear each other talk, but we turn it up when it's time to dance. All three of us sing, and we get a very 'big' sound. Some folks even think we have the sound of a larger group. We work very well together and work very hard to make your affair a success.
