*** The combination of Rock Songs played in a Cool Jazzy Style makes for unforgettable fun ->
For certain parties that want lively music, there are times that call for action!
There are certain rock songs that bring the room to life like nothing else. Classics like DON'T STOP BELIEVING and SWEET CHILD O MINE reliably help break the ice as guests relax and start humming along, enjoying the party atmosphere together.
There are rock songs that get people pumped up like DAMMIT, there are songs that make people sway side to side like WONDERWALL and then there are songs that make people sing every single word along with us like MR. BRIGHTSIDE.
These songs are not for the faint of heart, we perform them only when we know we are in a room of like-minded music lovers who want to wax-nostalgic with us and embrace all of these awesome rock vibes with us.
If you have read this far into this week's article, I have to assume that you are also one of our like-minded music-kismet friends. It is in knowing this that we begin our deep dive into our 50 favourite rock songs from the 80s 90s and 00s, three decades when rock ruled the world.
And as always, we take these songs and add our jazzy style to fit into an upscale event atmosphere, creating a fun fusion that is entertaining for guests of all music tastes. Time to rock on!
