Joe, the founder, original member, and seasoned guitar player. Picked up the guitar at 7, and never looked back. He has played every genre of music from the 60's through today. He has such strong male vocals, ability to add beautiful harmony, and his great personality all tied up with a smile.
Monica starting singing in church, then competitively with a trio. Took time out to be a mom, but always sang to her babies. She made her debut with Vegas in March of 2000. Learning every song that Joe could throw at her. She has such a great work ethic, and attention to detail, which allow her to perform each song, as if it were her own. Covering Aretha, Whitney, Mariah, Patti LaBelle, Lady Gaga, and so many more.....truly a must hear.
Mark is one great drummer, friend, co-worker, and I am proud to consider him family. He isn't afraid of anything....want to play a new song? Mark says "Bring it on", and he nails it every time. Vocals....Mark has a great ear. Going to get him to do the Bee Gees yet!
The Vegas Band is from Youngstown, OH has been known for playing recognizable music that is for everyone.
VRB is an extension of The Vegas Band. Bringing together our tenured members to form VRB. We have been working with members of the 1994 crew and performing as a 5 piece unit, adding another dimension to our family and what we do.
Joe Pawlen, Monica Pawlen, Henry Townsend, Mark Heddleson, Mike McCoy
We have had many players, and faces, come and go.......but we are Vegas. We are a family of musicians. We play together, eat together, and we celebrate together. We play music that makes you remember moments, connections, and feelings. We want you to dance, laugh, cry, and make memories, with us and one another.
We are The Vegas Band and VRB
When you book The Vegas Band, you get professional, quality entertainment. A variety of music unmatched. We also promote our venues. Providing advertising for what's going on at your location during our show. We believe that when one of our venue partners does well, so do we. We believe in working together with each venue to provide the best experiences for OUR customers, clients, families, and friends.
I couldn't describe us any better. Though there have been several personnel changes over the years, the focus has always remained the same... great musicianship, strong vocals, and a crowd-pleasing sound.
Touching every genre, to appeal to every listener.
Starting out, we had no idea that 20+ years later, we would still be doing this.
With a catalog of music that keeps growing.
The Vegas Band and it's extension, are an experience.
Our goal is to transform each venue we play, into that incredible atmosphere of entertainment.
We are blessed to be entertaining this long. We remain thankful to our band-mates, families, friends, fans, and venues.
You are why we have been around this long, and why we continue to go on.
