The best tribute to '80s music in the world is Back To The Eighties Show with Jessie's Girl! Three of the best rock and pop vocalists in NYC make up the core lineup of Jessie's Girl: Jenna O'Gara, Jerome Bell-Bastien, and Mark Rinzel. With over 20 years of experience in the NYC music scene, the band consisting of Eric Presti on guitar, Drew Mortali on bass, Michael Maenza on drums, and Karlee Bloom on keyboard and keyboardtar, provides them with one of the tightest backing groups in the city. Each with several credits, each one of them playing with real-life '80s icons who initially popularized the music!
The Back To The Eighties Show has really featured performances by Bret Michaels, MC Hammer, Colin Hay from Men at Work, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Taylor Dane, Mike Score from A Flock of Seagulls, Tone Loc, Rob Base, and many more.
They have a packed schedule of high-profile appearances and private events across the country, including the Back To The Eighties Show at The Theater at Madison Square Garden for the I Want My '80s Concert, the launch party for The Goldbergs by ABC / NY Magazine, a Halloween celebration featuring Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx, a private birthday celebration for '80s icon Neil Patrick Harris, and the massive "Tablegate" event hosted by Coca-Cola and Buffalo Wild Wings in Tempe, Arizona, which served as the opening act for Smash Mouth!
At esteemed regional locations like the Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank, NJ, The Capitol Theatre in Westchester, NY, The Paramount on Long Island, Penn's Peak in Jim Thorpe, PA, and numerous more, the band has consistently sold out shows.
