Metro Retro
About

Metro Retro is a professional, upscale Twin Cities based jazz and swing band with over 900 arrangements that span the generations and styles.

Whether you need a trio for an intimate house party, a quiet reception, a large high energy sound that rounds out a gala or corporate event, or something in between, Metro Retro will work with you to meet your needs and help make your special event a roaring success.

The band can range in size from a trio to a sextet, and plays styles ranging from traditional jazz and swing, through “society” rock and funk (i.e., great beat, no earplugs necessary). A full selection of holiday music makes this band the perfect addition to a traditional holiday party or mixer.

With a track record of client and crowd-pleasing performances in private homes as well as at places such as the Downtown, Airport, and Bloomington Hilton Hotels, Edina and Interlachen Country Clubs, Mill City Museum, Minneapolis Convention Center, Hotel Sofitel, Lafayette Club, and other top venues throughout the Midwest, Metro Retro has the professionalism, experience, and sound you are looking for.
