THE BLUE ROCKIT BAND

We are The Blue Rockit Band, a musical revue that provides a variety of styles including Rock, Pop, R&B, Blues, Country, Jazz and Reggae. The difference between other bands and Blue Rockit is that we take each style seriously! At the Core of Blue Rockit you’ll find four musicians whose talent and experience as individuals compliment the total package. The result is a professional presentation that focuses on the client. We realize that the entertainment is an important component to an affair. There is no doubt Blue Rockit is the perfect choice for any event. From Jazz and cocktails to dinner and dancing, if fun is required, leave the music to Blue Rockit. We’ll run out of time before we run out of good music!!!
