Bursting with neon energy, powerhouse musicianship, and nonstop audience engagement, the band delivers a high-impact show that transports audiences straight into the heart of the 1980s.From rock, pop, and new wave to dance, R&B, hard rock, alternative, and even country crossover hits, The Jolly Ringwalds tap into every corner of the decade’s soundtrack.

Comprised of award-winning musicians and vocalists with national touring experience, each member of the band has performed more than 3,000 live shows throughout their career. Their depth of talent extends far beyond a single role — multiple band members sing and play multiple instruments, allowing the band to deliver a seamless, high-level performance night after night.

The Jolly Ringwalds were the 80s band selected to represent the John Hughes estate on the Lake Forest Home and Garden Tour and are festival, casino and corporate event darlings.
