​​​​​​​​​​The members of the Route 88 Band are seasoned, professional musicians who sing lead and backup vocals. We are a five-piece band performing some of the best cover tunes from the 60's on up. We capture an audience with our energy, professionalism, sense of humor, and the desire to engage and interact with them. ​In addition to performing at larger venues, we enjoy providing entertainment for local community events, fundraisers and benefits.


​​When a total variety of music is needed, the Route 88 Band is sure to deliver! We are fun and easy to work with. We work with event coordinators well in advance to arrange the perfect selection of music for the occasion. We can provide softer background music during early guest arrivals, cocktail and dinner hour, or anytime you desire.


For public venues we promote via our website, Facebook, Amador County Arts Council and two Facebook groups known as "Nights Out! Music and Dancing in the valley & surrounding area" and "Amador and Surrounding Foothills Music Hub". Having the right band sets the foundation for a successful event and makes it easy for guests to get movin', groovin' and boot scootin' out on the dance floor!
