Songs and Artists Covered

The Spinsations’ goal is for you and your guests to dance and sing along to the best music there is.   Countless gigs have taught us that the music with broadest appeal remains the classic songs of artists like Chuck Berry, The Beach Boys, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Roy Orbison, Elvis and the Beatles. In other words the band focuses on the 1950s and 1960s “when rock was young.”

Although the band’s club shows heavily emphasize 50s and 60s music, they do sprinkle in a dose of 1980s party favorites and even occasionally some country. For private engagements, the band will often vary its emphasis based on the needs of the client.
