Welcome to Revv52’s Epic 80s!
Our vision for a spectacular trip down memory lane has been in the works since 2020, and we are excited to share some of the greatest hits of the 80s with you!
80s music is infectious and energetic. Artists like Blondie, Madonna, Peter Gabriel and George Michael produced hits that helped shape pop culture. The electronic sounds, anthemic choruses, and nostalgic charm continue to captivate listeners, evoking an era of joyous creativity and cultural impact.
A heartfelt thank you to our sustaining donors and the Calgary Foundation for their generous support. Our new tech allowing each singer to have a wireless mic lets our band and our singers do their rock and roll thing.
So get ready to rock and roll with us as we reignite the magic of the 80s!
