They are seriously a great bunch of talented and friendly people. We hired them for a house party and they KILLED IT!
We would hire them again in a heartbeat!
1980s Era Entertainment
Response from The Jolly Ringwalds:
Thank you so much, Brian! Your 80s costume party was off the hook. Let's do it again!
Liz provided great entertainment for our senior Thanksgiving Luncheon! She interacted with the group and encouraged everyone to sing along to songs that they know. She is very professional and provided everything that we asked for. Thanks Liz for a great performance!

I hired the Jolly Ringwalds for a corporate event for 130 guests aboard a boat charter in Chicago. They far exceeded expectations and did not miss a beat. The group is very talented, high energy, and really created a fun ambiance out on the lake for a night to remember. I highly recommend Jolly Ringwalds for any type of party and event in Chicago.

What to Expect
When you attend a Jolly Ringwalds concert, expect fun! We have the best Rubik cube stage props in the business. We have a bubble machine for kids. We have award winning talent and the best vocals of any 80s band in Chicago. We do all of the 80s--new wave, pop, r&b, dance, hard rock. We also perform all vocals and instruments LIVE. No lip synching or fake mime playing over pre-recorded karaoke tracks. We believe that is unprofessional and an unfortunate trend in 80s cover bands.
