Even Odds Band
8pm | Rivergate Park Amphitheatre
Even Odds is one of the premier variety bands in the Memphis area. Great music and fabulous live stage shows are the band's hallmarks, along with a repertoire that ranges from Sinatra to Usher! With a home base at Silky O'Sullivan's on world-famous Beale Street, Even Odds entertains locals and music lovers from all over the world. A popular band for college functions, Even Odds can play everything from intimate wedding receptions to large charity galas, casinos to outdoor festivals, and everything in between. Their song list is guaranteed to please everyone from ages 8 to 80, with an amazing mix of Motown and classic rock oldies, to disco and 80's funk, to the most current pop and hip-hop hits. For those events that require a larger stage presence, the basic band of five talented performers can grow by adding another horn player and a female singer. For a crowd-pleasing band that's as professional as it is talented, place your bet on Even Odds.
