How can I be sure that the group of musicians I hire will be the same musicians who will perform at my event? Petey & the CRUISERS is a "set" group which means every member in our band will be the same every time. We do not employ freelance musicians. In the unusual event of illness, a substitute of equal ability may be employed.

The ages of our guests will vary considerably. Can your band play all types of music? The versatility and quality of musicianship in our band is such that our musicians can authentically perform a wide variety of music ranging from the '50's Old School Rock era to Classic Rock dance music. Our song list is posted on this web site and made available to those who inquire.

How many breaks does the band take during the night and how long do they play?  A standard engagement includes four 45 to 50 minute sets.   If there is a ceremony or cocktail hour before dinner, arrangements can be made for music to be played during that time. Our band will play a minimum of 45 minutes  with a fifteen minute break between each set. However, we would be happy to discuss any format that would be conducive to your event.  During the breaks, we prefer to play our CDs which are similar to our own musical style.

Will the band perform at a volume that is comfortable for me and for my guests? Petey & the CRUISERS will perform music which is especially suited for the dinner hour and background to conversation. Conversely, we can increase the volume during the dance portion of the program.  Also, as the party progresses we are always amenable to raising or lowering the volume at your request.  When performing at nightclub venues, we defer to the owner/staff regarding our volumes.  Our central purpose is to provide those whom we entertain with a positive and totally enjoyable rock 'n' roll experience.  Will the band learn a special song?   If the number you choose is conducive to our style of music and we agree to perform it, you will need to provide four weeks notice and a CD or MP3 of your song.  We will guarantee that your song is learned and performed well.
