About the band
An electrifying performance with energy that can't be beat.
There is no substitute for the
real thing!
Cool Shoes is all about great songs you know and love, but rarely get to see performed live - hot Motown, cool funk, classic soul and real-deal, old-school R&B, with some surprises mixed in.
We know the deal.
You've got an iPod and it's got every song you ever heard on it.
But here's the truth: A live band can give you what no mp3 player
or DJ can!
The band is fronted by
charismatic singers with great stage presence, and backed by a
rock-solid rhythm section. We have a blast playing together, and
that sense of fun and enjoyment is infectious. You’ll like what
you hear, and we're all sure to have a great time!
Cool Shoes is based in southwestern Connecticut, and can travel
regionally to play for you. We play events of all kinds, from
weddings to private parties to corporate events, functions, fetes,
fiestas, shindigs, soirees, blasts, blowouts, barbecues,
bacchanals, beach parties, boat christenings, carousals,
clambakes, random gatherings on the sidewalk, you name it… and
we’ll be happy to show you a great time down at your local
watering hole, so tell them about us!
