Playing from Washington DC to northern Vermont, they have shared the stage with Staind, Survivor, Loverboy, Orleans and John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band, Saving Jane, Bo Bice, Cary Brothers, & Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul, & Mary. While making a name for themselves in the hotspots of New England, they quickly became a popular choice for those that demanded a top-quality form of entertainment. Their high energy, non-stop show style, combined with their expansive song-lists have made them the best choice for private parties, weddings and corporate events. People of all ages can be found dancing and singing along with Those Guys! Those Guys have entertained groups such as: The Newport International Film Festival, The New England Patriots, high-profile members of the Boston Red Sox organization, The University of Rhode Island, Salve Regina University, Raytheon Corporation and Georgetown Events in Washington, DC....and many more.
