Our mission: To learn every song... EVER!
Since 2010, Decades (based in Chico, CA) has been working (and rocking) around the clock to learn material spanning from the 1950's (Dion’s “Runaround Sue”)) to today (Bruno Mars & Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk"). The band has played 1000+ shows all along the West Coast, earning its place as one of California's most in-demand bands. Throughout a single show, they'll swap between several instruments (including saxophone, harmonica, penny whistle, accordion, and trumpet to name a few) and belt out four-part harmonies, showcasing each member's musical versatility, while continuing to put on a highly energetic live show.
Decades' impressive catalog, mixed with its young talents (ages 26-35), has led to numerous achievements and highlights. Some notable performances include playing Lake Tahoe’s Outdoor Arena, AT&T Park and Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, the Francis Ford Coppola Winery, several fundraisers for the Oakland Raiders, the Hawaiian islands for 5 consecutive years, opening for both Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles and The Drifters, and up and coming country star, Tim Duggar. Decades have recorded three albums, two of which were recorded with Grammy-nominated producer, Sylvia Massy (Prince, Johnny Cash, Tool). According to Bob Littell, former entertainment director of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co, "This is the hardest working band in town."
