W D FORTY Band is a 2 piece band (sounding like a 5-6 piece band) doing songs of the late 50's/early 60's PLUS a number of original award winning songs. We are two veteran musicians/singers who love to entertain/ We are a small band (foot print) and are most effective in a small to medium gig.

Gig Length: 60 - 180 minutes
We are a small band but sound like a much larger band due to arrainger keyboard, electric guitar, and multiple vocals and harmonies. If you like the sounds of the
late 50's/early 60's (Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, CCR, DooWap, Rockabilly,etc.) you'll like what we do.
