Why "5 Guys Named Moe"? ... there's 12 people in the band!
With lyrics like "who's the greatest band around?" and "who makes the cats jump up and down?" 5 Guys Named Moe was originally named after the 1943 hit song by Louis Jordan and started out as a 5-piece in 1984. Over the last twenty-seven years however, the band has grown into a slammin' 12-piece show band that is as much fun to watch as it is to listen and dance to! 5 Guys Named Moe is patterned after the larger, visually creative bands of the 1960’s which used horn sections and back-up vocalists. The resulting full sound—combined with a variety of dynamic lead vocalists and their unique visual energy—sets 5 Guys Named Moe apart from other dance bands and can best be described as the “Ultimate Dance and Show Band”.
A 5 Guys Named Moe performance includes:
- 12 entertainers on stage, including a four-piece horn section, groovin’ rhythm section, back-up vocalists and as many as 6 lead singers throughout the event!
- Retro-style costumes and choreography creating visual impact and excitement!
- State-of-the-art sound reinforcement and sound engineer as well as lighting system with operator included in the performance fee.
- A professional and business-like attitude toward all aspects of the performance.
- A vast repertoire from which to select that is a compilation of retro rock, motown, soul, r & b and retro disco dance hits that is sure to keep the dance floor packed and make your party a smashing success!
