Why "5 Guys Named Moe"? ... there's 12 people in the band! With lyrics like "who's the greatest band around?" and "who makes the cats jump up and down?" 5 Guys Named Moe was originally named after the 1943 hit song by Louis Jordan and started out as a 5-piece. Over the next twenty-four years however, the band has grown into a slammin' 12-piece show band that is as much fun to watch as it is to listen and dance to!

5 Guys Named Moe is patterned after the larger, visually creative bands of the 1960’s which used horn sections and back-up vocalists. The resulting full sound—combined with a variety of dynamic lead vocalists and their unique visual energy—sets 5 Guys Named Moe apart from other dance bands and can best be described as the “Ultimate Dance and Show Band”.

A 5 Guys Named Moe performance includes:

12 entertainers on stage, including a four-piece horn section, groovin' rhythm section, back-up vocalists and as many as 6 lead singers throughout the event!
Retro-style costumes and choreography creating visual impact and excitement!
State-of-the-art sound reinforcement and sound engineer as well as lighting system with operator included in the performance fee..
A professional and business-like attitude toward all aspects of the performance.
A vast repertoire from which to select that is a compilation of retro rock, Motown, Soul, R&B and retro disco dance hits that is sure to keep the dance floor packed and make your party a smashing success!
Highlights of our variety show feature rock and soul hits from the '60s...dance to hits by Aretha Franklin, The Supremes, The O'Jays, The Spinners, The Temptations and more! Later, it’s back to the 70’s for a funky retro soul and disco set with hits by Al Green, Donna Summer, KC & The Sunshine Band and many more!

We had folks from all over the United States at the party. We had many people say that this was the best party they had been to due to the band.... please tell everyone in the band 'THANK YOU'!"

"Dear 5 Guys Named Moe - Just wanted to let you know that I heard from the buyer from last weekend's wedding. He was over the top about how fabulous you were.

"Dear 5 Guys Named Moe, It is with great pleasure that I write to thank your for an absolutely wonderful performance in support of Columbia Helicopters' 50th Anniversary party. 5 Guys Named Moe brought professionalism, fun and great energy to our party, truly making our celebration entertaining, exciting and memorable... I mentioned to you that I had heard 5 Guys Named Moe perform in the past, and I had always enjoyed your show. What I did not recognize previously was how closely you pay attention to your audience, and then quickly and seamlessly adapt your play list to the tastes of the crowd. This meant that our employees and guests quickly took to the dance floor and enjoyed themselves immensely. Only an established band with a strong catalog of songs could have coordinated something so complex so easily...I have heard only very positive comments from our guests regarding your performance, and I only regret that the time passed so quickly. I have no doubt that our group would have stayed and danced as long as you were willing to perform... In closing I again thank you and the entire band for an absolutely wonderful performance. I offer my strongest endorsement to anyone thinking of hiring 5 Guys Named Moe and I am willing to speak with anyone on your behalf."
Dan Sweet, Media Services Manager Columbia Helicopters, Inc.
