Boogie & the Yo-Yo'Z
HELLO & WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF BOOGIE
Boogie & the Yo-Yo'Z started performing for the masses in 1995 under our original name, Yogi & the Boo BooZ. We were named after our drummer's (Brian Yogerst) nick name. (Not after that pesky bear who steals picinic baskets) Unfortunately, shortly after our inception we had a little bit of a run in with Hanna-Barbera (Yogi & Boo Boo's keepers). Thus, the name change. Boogie has played a variety of shows ranging from birthday parties, weddings, and local taverns to regional festivals, opening for national acts, and head lining county and state fairs.
Our mission statement is this: "No matter who you are or how your day was, you will have fun with us." Here is a list of things that make us different than every other band out there.
Horn Section: Not too many bands are able to boast a 3-4 piece horn section. This allows us to play a bigger variety of tunes without sacrificing quality. Throw in some choreography and the crowd goes wild.
Everyone Sings: Boogie & the Yo Yo'Z prides itself in diversity. We have the ability to cater to all tastes in music due to our vocal and instrumental flexibility.
Sound & Lights: Every event is different and we have the resources to accommodate every situation. We travel with a seasoned sound company that has the ability to provide sound and lighting for crowds from 200 to 20,000.
Variety: We cater to our audience. Boogie has a reputation of playing what people want to hear, while avoiding songs that offend with off color language.
Professionalism: Fun is the biggest perk of our job, however, we do view our performances as jobs and treat every event with the respect that it demands.
Energy: You know that phrase "give 110%"? Well, we invented it. We are always moving, singing and entertaining. Two 15 minute breaks are all we require for a full four hour show.
Concession Sales: If your event is one that thrives on sales, we are the band for you. We promote all concessions at your event and have an incredible track record for food & beverages sold. Again, don't take my word for it. (We do not promote overindulgence.)
