Rockford, IL86 Live Entertainment Professionals near you

Jeremy and Olivia where a huge part of our wedding in October 2017. Jeremy was available to help out where ever we needed him to be and was very professional. Olivia performed live music for our first dance, father/daughter, and mother/son dances. I was able to pick out the songs I wished to have played. Olivia made each song her own and it made the moments so much more memorable. Jeremy and Olivia both went above and beyond making sure our big day went as planned. We are very happy with their quality of work and professionalism.

We were married on NYE and great music, high energy, and a packed dance floor made the top of our priority list. Kristian brought that and more! Meeting with him was fun and relaxed, and he absolutely nailed it on the music! Our dance floor was full all night and two of my toes were numb for a month because I danced I never left the dance floor! Business aside, he’s just a great person. Great people do great work. ❤️ If you’re looking for a professional, reliable, fun DJ, look no further than Behind the Beats!

Showed up ahead of time to set up and was very professional. Made sure to play all genres of music we asked for. The quality of the music he played was spot on and played all requests!

Damian is terrific! Got out there and showed us the dance steps, read the group really well in terms of the type of music to play. Very neat and conscientious. We will have him back!

A crooner / singer and she was great! It was for an in-home 50th wedding anniversary celebration for my bosses in-laws who are 87 and 90 and they loved it, so thank you!

Dear Mike and Dave, Thank you both so much for a wonderful evening of entertainment. As the event planner for our company it is always hard to know what type of entertainment will work with our large and diverse group…needless to say you guys knocked it out of the park. First with the Jazz music during our social and dinner, then with the dueling pianos after dinner. I love how you worked the crowd and got everyone involved…the best was the little “cow bell” competition you started between both of our presidents! It is always a good time when you can see top executives of a company let loose and have fun. :) Everyone had such a blast, I will definitely keep you guys at the top of my list for next time.

Shannon got back to me quickly and we went and met her and had a lesson to see if it would be a good fit with her and my daughter. I would do nothing to change my experience it is nice to be able to have a trial lesson to make sure it is a good match. My daughter has only had 3 lessons and I can already hear a big difference in her voice. My daughter loves going and has learned a lot in her few lessons. Also Shannon has been flexible with our busy schedule as long as we can give her some notice. I would not change anything about our experience it went very smoothly.

Artist Bio Funny name. Great band! Most groups start with rock and pop and play blues when they run out of material. They start with blues because it's the basis for all-American pop music since early in the last century, then they take great material and do it the way they think it fits for the band. For 28 years, Chainsaw Curtis and the Creepers have been playing a distinctive brand of roadhouse blues, rock 'n' roll, and R&B music all over Wisconsin, northern Illinois, and eastern Iowa. More about Chainsaw Curtis and the Creepers Curt Rodeheaver started playing music on the piano at age nine and picked up the guitar at thirteen. Gigs for high school dances led to his first nightclub work in 1970. He continued to play in bands and in 1981 in Ithaca, New York with band mate Glenn Davis and started a weekly Blue Monday jam session at a night club called the Nines, which is still going today. According to Living Blues magazine, it's one of the longest continuously running jams in the country. In 1989, Curt moved to Southern Wisconsin from upstate New York to open the Silver Moon Blues Oasis in Darien. He got the name Chainsaw from a line in the Huey Lewis song "Cool Is the Rule (But Sometimes Bad is Bad)." The Creepers started as the house band at the Moon backing artists from Chicago. Curtis would occasionally take the band out of the club and do gigs in other area venues. When Curt left the Moon in 1993, he continued to book the band in clubs, at festivals, and parties. There have been many Creepers over the years (more than 35!). The first Creepers album, Too Much Like Work, was released in 1996 and included eight original pieces and three covers. Dave Luhrssen of the Milwaukee Shepherd Express called it one of the best locally produced blues albums. Curt's song "Nine Months of Winter" got to 102 on the Garageband.com over all charts in a field of more than 20,000 songs. The 2000 release Pantloads of Fun included eight original songs by Curt. John Noyd of Maximum Ink magazine called Pantloads a "smokey barbecue reminiscent of ZZ Top and Los Lobos." Chainsaw Curtis is currently working on material for his third album - (Tragedy's Easy) Comedy's Hard. The Creepers have more than a hundred years of experience on stage. There is video of the band on our Reverbnation page. It's blues! It's electric folk! It's American music! Crank it up.

I provide fun and lots of songs. I do private shows only and bars and all other businesses. Certified wifi is a must.

Since we are professional radio DJ, I think we stand out from other DJ's in the area and we also work with major headline entertainment as well and that sets us apart from just a normal DJ service

I perform clown and magic shows for kids and family events, church groups and preschools. The shows get kids involved in making the magic happen. For over 25 years, I have provided quality entertainment at affordable prices. Having started clowning with a guest appearance in the circus followed by 20 years of professional corporate sponsored entertainment for elementary schools and personal appearances, I will bring my kid-friendly experience and fun to your special event. Face painting is offered as an option at additional charge with shows or as a featured attraction for your young guests. My magic shows as Magic Ken are just as much silly fun with amazing surprises as a car packed with clowns. Children from the audience assist in making the real magic happen. Shows can be tailored to fit your party theme or simply be featured as a magic fun show at your event.
