Category 5ive brings a high energy mix of 80’s and 90’s dance rock to the stage. Is it classic rock? Well, without a doubt, these guys really rock! And, the songs are classics… But it's definitely not the same over-played, tunes that every “classic rock” band bangs out. Category 5ive is different.
They have their niche and they pride themselves on performing songs that other bands can’t. These are recognizable hits by major artists such as Journey, Bryan Adams, Huey Lewis, Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, 38 Special, INXS and others. With 2 guitars, bass, drums, 2 saxophones, 4 keyboards and 4 vocals all in a tight five piece package, Category 5ive is a rock-n-roll storm!
