Dance bands to see in December

December is shaping up to be an incredible month for Headliners dance bands, with some of the Northwest’s best live performers taking the stage. On December 5, Hit Machine kicks off the month with their signature high-energy show packed with crowd-moving hit songs from every era. Dance Hall Days follows on December 19, bringing their smooth vocals and 80s–90s groove that always fills the dance floor. The momentum continues on December 20 with The Yachtsmen, a fun, upbeat band that mixes classic soft-rock with a festive vibe perfect for the season. And wrapping up the month on December 26 is JFK, a great dance band I personally saw in Salem—tight musicianship, big vocals, and a full-throttle show from start to finish.

Over at Coyote’s, December is equally packed with top-tier dance bands that bring big energy and even bigger personality. December 6 features the NW Sugar Shakers, a fun and lively group that already looks fantastic from their Facebook videos. Rockit Radio steps in on December 12, with an impressive stage presence and a modern dance-rock sound that also shines on their Facebook clips. Remedy follows on December 13, a great dance band known for filling every venue with upbeat rock, pop, and feel-good party hits. Closing out the month on December 26 is Baz Moto, a band that looks like a blast to watch—high energy, great visuals, and a crowd-friendly setlist built for dancing.

Meanwhile, Billy Blues in Vancouver is delivering a full slate of phenomenal tribute bands all month long, and Gemini continues stacking its calendar with popular local favorites that keep the Lake Oswego crowd dancing well into the night.
