The Ohio Valley
The Classic Sounds of the 50s, 60s and 70sThe New American Heritage Dictionary defines "de ja vu" as "the illusion of having already experienced something actually being experienced for the first time". However, your first experience with the de ja vu Band will be a retrospective journey to an era of poodle skirts, juke boxes, AM radio, and the '57 Chevy. With over two centuries of combined musical experience, de ja vu features tight vocal harmonies and solid instrumentation (keyboards, guitar, bass guitar, drums and miscellaneous percussion).
Catering to a more mature and sophisticated listening audience, the de ja vu band performs the classic sounds of the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's. Insofar as possible, this talented group of musicians and singers seeks to emulate the sound and style of the original artist(s). the result is a super satisfying trip down "memory lane" with music you know and love. Recently, de ja vu has opened for such world famous acts as Sha Na Na, the Crystals and the Vogues. The band also thrilled audiences at the Upper Ohio Valley Italian Festival, the Weirton Renaissance Festival, Pickin' in The Park, West Virginia Blackberry Festival, West Virginia Oil and Gas Festival, the Groundhog Festival, Wheeling Waterfront Concert Series, Bedford Fall Foliage Festival, Gold Rush Days and the Ohio Valley Street Survivors Auto Show at Oglebay Park in Wheeling, WV.
Make de ja vu the band of choice for your next festival, auto show, or holiday celebration. With de ja vu's selection of classic oldies, your event will be both memorable and fun. We'll keep your crowd singing and dancing all night long with the tunes everybody knows and loves.
