The Desperados

Description

The DESPERADOS are a group of passionate NJ musicians performing Country Rock (the intersection of Country & Classic Rock) and other hit songs.
As the IRISH DESPERADOS, they perform traditional Irish music: pub songs, ballads, songs by popular Irish artists and Irish-American favorites. Their shows feature tin whistle/flute, mandolin, and fiddle!
They're available as a 2, 3 or full 5 piece band with several musicians featured as lead vocalist (including a female vocalist).
Since Spring 2016, the band has performed dozens of bars/clubs, community and municipal concerts, fundraisers and ... private/corporate events - often asked to return.
If needed, a W-9 is on file and insurance is available. We would love the opportunity to work with you to make your event a memorable success!
