The Racket

We've done hundreds of gigs, including dozens of parties and private events as well as hundreds of bar/restaurant gigs, so we know how to make sure your event is a success! We will provide a high-energy party atmosphere, with energetic versions of all your favorite hits!

We are able to adapt to your specific needs -- we can play either acoustic (2- or 3-piece), or electric, so we can fit your budget and your space, as well as accommodating your desired noise level.

We will share our song list with you and work with you to make sure that we are playing the stuff you and your guests want to hear. We're also happy to hand out song lists, featuring over 150 songs, so that the audience can make requests real-time from our "Racket Juke Box". We even pack an extra mic, so any wannabe rock stars are welcome to jump up and join us in singing or playing guitar!

We will show up early, set up our entire PA system and lighting system punctually so that your even can get off the ground and into high gear right away. Once the event ends, we will clean up promptly so that you can get your evening's rest after an awesome event!

Late in 2021, a group of musicians with wildly divergent backgrounds came together in a small bedroom in New Jersey to shake off the Covid cobwebs -- and a rock phenomenon was born! Delivering a mix of searing guitar, energizing vocals, howling harmonica, and pulsating drums & bass, The Racket covers all the rock anthems & party hits that you live for!

With a combined pedigree spanning almost a century of gigging across multiple genres, The Racket blasts out a refreshing take on a broad repertoire that runs the gamut of your rockin' favorites. We'll treat you to hits from the 1950s through the 2000s, from artists ranging from AC/DC to ZZ Top and everything in between! We can go acoustic or electric, depending on your preferences -- but we always rock hard! And we're not afraid to sprinkle a little blues, reggae, country and more into the show to spice things up a bit...

Wherever and whenever you're looking to party, we're ready to make a Racket! We've played hundreds of gigs to literally thousands of happy showgoers at all kinds of locales in the Greater New York/New Jersey area, ranging from restaurants & bars to parks & parties... heck, we've even played subways and parking lots!

We bring our own PA/sound system and stage lighting. All we need is a little space and access to electricity. We will discuss these requirements with you well in advance of the day of your event.
