We are Paisley Craze, a five-piece band playing all your favorite music from the 1960s, covering the incredibly wide range of styles of that historic decade.  

From the British invasion featuring the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Animals, to the sunny and light pop music of the Beach Boys, the Monkees, and the Young Rascals. From the mind-blowing psychedelic rock of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jefferson Airplane, to the groovin’ dance sounds of Motown, featuring Diana Ross and the Supremes, Aretha Franklin, and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.

So whether you want to just relax, sit back, and groove to the music, or get out on the dance floor and party to the break of dawn, come out and celebrate the music that changed the world!
