Track 9 takes the greatest songs by some of the greatest artists of all time and plays them sort of like the original. At the end of the evening, you’ve heard music from 20 or 30 or more artists across a wide range of music styles.
They’ll play their music in a way that is enjoyable, danceable, and memorable. With their gal-and-guy lead singers and other great voices to boot, a three-piece horn section that brings a special sound to EVERY song, and terrific musicianship at every position, TRACK 9 is an entertainment powerhouse.
