About the band

Cool Shoes loves to cook up lip-smacking good tunes that’ll satisfy your soul... great songs from the likes of James Brown, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Sam & Dave, Tower of Power and more, plus a few surprises. We’re all about energy and having fun… you’ll be out of your seat and groovin’ all night long to treasured favorites as well as songs you don't hear from "typical" cover bands.

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! For booking details, or just to say hello, contact Andrew today at coolshoesband@gmail.com, or call 203.258.7191.
