The Rockin’ Chairs
The Rockin’ Chairs is a show band that offers a unique and delightful fun experience to audiences. To describe what they are, it’s important to tell you what they are not. In their words, they are “not a young, hard-rockin’, heavy metal, head banging, grunge, cutting edge, screamingly loud bunch of musicians.” The Rockin’ Chairs are ‘mature’ guys who got together in 2017 to create an entertaining show that included playing the best rock & roll hits of the 1950’s combining these songs with humor and stories about the music business. They make their Southgate debut tonight!
