The Vintage

WHAT WE DO:
What can you expect from a show from The Vintage? High energy rock and roll! This is a show from start to finish- sonically and physically. The Vintage does not do background music.

When the Vintage plays, the energy fills the room, people shuffle in their seats and tap their feet until moments later, when they jump up and fill the dance floor. The Vintage seems to magically read the mind of the crowd and play exactly what they would like to hear and dance to, with an excitement that keeps everyone smiling.

WHO WE ARE:
The Vintage is a three-piece rock powerhouse consisting of Ron Tippin on vocals and guitar, Mark Willson on drums and Bryan Bridges on bass.

HISTORY:
The Vintage has entertained thousands of people since 2006, and has been featured in many of the top local venues, from hot spots as diverse as Arts Beats & Eats to Mackinac Island resort island. But venues are not our only outlet: some of our best gigs have been with private parties and weddings. Collectively The Vintage has over 60 years of entertainment experience!

WHAT KIND OF EVENTS WE CAN PLAY:
The Vintage feels perfectly at home in professional venues, private parties, corporate events, wedding receptions and holiday resorts. If your event has special equipment needs – from video to sound system requirements -- the Vintage has you covered.

The Vintage also loves themes. These are musical styles of your choice, chosen from one of the following:

1. '70s. Pure '70s rock, dance and disco.

2. '80s. Everyone's favorite decade, from Prince to Men At Work and everything in between.

3. '90s. A strong variety from your recent memory.

4. Dance. If you like to move, this theme is for you.

5. R&B. This theme also has a strong dance feel to it, including Motown classics.

6. General. We select the songs for you.

"For the past two years, our company brought in The Vintage to play 'Champagne Explosion', the biggest New Year's Eve party in Detroit. They were just fantastic! Extremely professional... had the crowd dancing and singing all night long... these guys rock! I can't recommend them enough."
—Kevin Cermack (Live Wire Event Management).

The Vintage totally made our wedding reception... not only did they play a mix of dance rock that kept an unusually large amount of our guests on the floor all night long, but they also provided the emcee-ing and DJ music in between their sets. If you're considering live music for your wedding, The Vintage is definitely the way to go!"

“Every year, we host a 4th of July party for 200+ friends. The Vintage has played the last two years now, and I can honestly say that they are one of the most amazing bands out there. With the party in full-tilt, these guys played a three-hour set, keeping everybody on their feet!”
