Didn't know what to expect but could have never expected it to be this good! I wish they could come back. I knew every song and sang along to every one!!!!!!!!
My wife and I saw this Band at the Plano Arts and Wine Festival in McCall Plaza. A powerhouse! Connie thought it was from the radio or soundtrack until we saw a live Band playing! We just booked Retriever for our Christmas party. They sound like a stadium band or at the least the best cover Band I've heard in years! We couldn't sit down!!! Sore the next day from dancing. Retriever is a pleasure.
Response from Retriever:
thank you for the kind words! we look forward to seeing you again at future gigs and your party!
I was with friends at the Van Alstyne City Festival. We were tired after work on a Tuesday night..so were thinking about staying home....but then a friend texted us that the Band was incredible so we bucked it up and came out on a 100 degree plus evening. So glad we did!!!!!!!
We were blown away by the talent. Even did Supertramp and Sledgehammer. Tight. I already asked our City to book next year before these guys get filled up.
Retriever is excellent. Vocals terrific. Musicians tight. Very professional.
Response from Retriever:
Thank you for your kind words! We hope you will like and follow us on Facebook and come out to our upcoming performances!
Drove 35 miles in the rain from McKinney to see Retriever. First time to hear the band and I was not disappointed. I would definitely do it again. Good rock n roll to listen to or dance. In fact, I just couldn't sit still, so off to the dance floor for a great evening. Highly recommend going to whatever venue Retriever is playing at and for your private party. Will continue to follow this band.
Response from Retriever:
thank you John. very kind of you. hope to see you again at our next performance!
I have seen Retriever twice. Both times they had everyone out of their seats, dancing and singing along. They bring a lot of energy.
Response from Retriever:
thanks Seth! hope to see you at our next gig!
What a group of incredibly talented singers and musicians have come together in Retriever to bring classic and very dance-able rock to music lovers! I danced til I dropped - they have a terrific repertoire, and are very professional in the way they set up and interact with the crowd, and are clearly having a great time themselves which is totally infectious! I would hire them for any event, and hope you will try them out too! They are dedicated musicians with enormous talent that will make you forget your troubles and dance the night away.
Response from Retriever:
thank you Karen! we always love seeing you at our gigs as you bring so much energy to the dance floor! hope to see you at our next gig!
I Rocked to Retriever at a venue in Addison!
Great music and the whole place was up dancing!! What a fun night. It was like being at a concert!! Will see them again!!
Response from Retriever:
thanks Trish! hope to see you at our next gig!
I saw Retriever at my good friend's Summer party. This Band is awesome. I thought it was a DJ with tunes until I walked in the patio--a live band with a stadium band sound. Classic rock songs I love to sing and dance to. I have to say the eye candy lead singers were fun too!!! TeeHee! My hubby benefited too as we danced all night! Love this Band. Highly recommend. I'm going to see them at future gigs in Clubs too. Very, very talented--musicians were incredible too. Awesome. Retriever is the real deal.
Response from Retriever:
so kind Anne, thank you! hope to see you at our next gig!

You can expect timely arrival and set-up. We will be respectful and careful with your home or venue. We will start on time and provide all the music you requested. We will be fun and engage your guests. We will never be vulgar or rude. We do not smoke. We LOVE playing music and seeing people happy and dancing! We do this because of passion (we all have professional careers outside of music so this is a labor of LOVE). At the conclusion of our performance we will pack up and leave no footprint except happy memories.
