We arrive early for every gig, with a pro audio sound system including professional sound engineer.
We bring our own stage lights, and we will tailor our wardrobe to your preferences if that is desired.
One of our crew is an experienced professional DJ, and his services are available as well for an additional fee.
We learn new songs by request - if we don't already have your request in our extensive play list.
Rumors has been playing in the North Bay and beyond for almost five years now.
We love parties, we love weddings, we love dance rooms, we love outdoor events, and we love to bring our show out to play.
