Come to the Saturday Night Dance Club and dance to Vinyl Recall and then decide.

UBRS by far. The only band we'll drive to Brownwood to see.

They are funny and sing slightly risque songs.

You can feel the friendship they share with each other and the respect they have for their more senior members.

Their music makes you feel good.
I think you mean Brass band instead of Jazz band.

By far, Rocky and the Rollers are the most popular band in The Villages. Whenever they perform at any of the squares, it is standing room only - no matter what the season.

Their annual cruises have become so popular there are now two per year.

The Music Mixx is the best. Every Saturday night at Hacienda CC. Many private engagements. Best dance band with music from jazz standards to disco!

Well, I like them. I spend a lot of time in New Orleans, and spend a lot of that time listening to street music.

We enjoyed Rocky and the Rollers last evening in SS square, but I still prefer Uncle Bob's Rock Shop. Both bands play good rock and roll music.

We love Vinyl Recall and really enjoy the Saturday Night Dance Party party every month. UBRS and Yesterdaze are good too. I love classic rock, it is my absolute favorite.
