Riverside Hitmen
About

Riverside Hitmen are the cream of the crop of wedding and corporate bands. This band can go seamlessly from the current hits of Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, or Pharrell to the classic rock of Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Swing of Brian Setzer or Cherry Poppin Daddies, or even some straight out Rockabilly. Want a full night of just rockabilly or swing? They can do that as well.

A jazz trio for your social hour, or classical guitar for a wedding ceremony are also no problem for this group. From Michael Jackson to Pharell, Aretha Franklin to Maroon 5, Willie Nelson to a polka, this high energy nice piece band does it all. With the ability to play all styles of music, they can tailor the night to focus on what you like, leaving out what you do not. Always hip, recognizable, and danceable with a deep list of songs to choose from to make your event exactly the way you want it. Ask about adding a DJ or photo booth as well.
