LIVE MUSIC BY THE GRAPEVINE BAND
The Grapevine Band was founded in the “heart” of soul and rock and roll music, Macon, Georgia. Today, the band is recognized throughout Georgia and the southeast as” The Premier Party Band”! Since 1987, this band has been electrifying corporate events, conventions, wedding receptions, class reunions and other events. In 2000, The Grapevine Band received the prestigious Band of the Year award from the Atlanta Society of Entertainers. Its recent 30th year reunion was celebrated by the Macon Magazine.
The Grapevine’s musical heritage was shaped by the member’s early high school and college fraternity party bands, as well as local and national soul, blues, beach, rock and roll bands and musicians from the 1960’s forward. The band is comprised of experienced, professional musicians performing on horns, drums, guitars, keyboard, vocals, as well as the Grapevine dancers/percussionists. The Grapevine Band has performed with many well-known recording artists to include Sam and Dave, Percy Sledge, The Temptations, The Spinners, The Four Tops, the Average White Band, Grand Funk Railroad, The O’Jays, The Spinners, the Ohio Players, The Tams, The Swinging Medallions, Chubby Checker, General Johnson & The Chairman of the Board, and many others. They specialize in playing your favorite hit songs that bring back memories and entice you to participate on the dance floor! |
