Jeff,
Long time reader. Love the Jeff Eats’ site.
I need a great 50s-60s Rock N Roll band for a charity event that I am the Chairperson of. The charity event is in September, 2016 and will be held in North Miami. Expecting around 300 people.
I have seen a number of south Florida 50s-60s bands and although many are very good, I would love to have a band that is really special and if possible not based in the immediate area so that its appearance will be be fresh, in that most if not all of the guests have never seen the band before.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Got the perfect band for you, Johnny Dee and the Starlights (I know-Joey Dee & The Starliters)!
Trust Jeff Eats on this one, the band is amazingly-good!
Jeff Eats is thinking (actually I’m knowing) that your crowd will go absolutely nuts over Johnny Dee and the Starlights- as they put on a great show! I’m also thinking, that because Johnny Dee and the Starlights is based out of Orlando and seldom plays- Dade/Broward/Palm Beach Counties- that most of your guests- will not have seen the band before!
Like I said before, the band is amazingly good!
You can check the band out at johnnydeeandthestarlights.com.

Songs include classics like “Runaround Sue,” “Only the Lonely,” and “Unchained Melody.” Come hear the hits of yesteryear played the way they were meant to be played!

Sounds like a great show.
My husband and I saw the group at the Villages. They are terrific. Don’t miss them.
I also saw them at The Villages and they really do put on a terrific show.
Jeff,
Just bought 2tickets for tonight. Can’t wait to see them.
Jeff,
Just saw the show and it was 90 minutes of non stop greatest hits from the 50s and 60s. The band is fabulous.
My wife and I just got home after seeing Johnny Dee & The Starlights at the Willow Theater and I have to tell you that this band put on an incredibly good show. A full 90 minutes of fabulous music, great vocals and stage personality.
Don’t miss this band. They are amazing.
Jeff,
Great call here.
My wife and I loved the show.
You are right, fans of 50s & 60s rock n roll must see Johnny Dee & The Starlights.
These guys were great.
Especially loved their version of Be My Baby.
Terrific show. Loved every minute of it.
All I can say is WOW!
On your say so we bought 2 tickets and saw yesterday’s matinee and I have to tell you it was a terrific show. This band runs absolute circles around the local 50s and 60s bands that play the Miami- Palm Beach area. Too bad Johnny Dee isn’t a local act as it would be busy playing venues literally all the time.
All of the country clubs and communities in the area should be looking to book this band.
Jeff,
This was a great recommendation. Loved the band.
The matinee was great. Fabulous band.
They will be doing a free show in Sunrise this is a fun time food trucks and rock and roll http://www.sunrisefl.gov/index.aspx?page=20&recordid=5676
I recently saw the band at The Villages and they are terrific.
