A collection of world class talents, they have been wowing crowds around the country with their spectacular performances for years.

The band mixes Rock, R&B, Latin, Swing, and current Pop and Hip Hop grooves to create a high energy dance sound all their own. Their enthusiasm is overwhelmingly infectious, and they’re guaranteed to make every event a major success.
Each performance is custom tailored to the needs of the client by musical director and well-known composer Justin Reinhardt, whose work includes the score for the hit film “Swingers” and music for HBO’s ever popular “Sex and the City.” The band’s fresh approach brings a contemporary style and energy to all their material, drawing from a highly danceable repertoire of classic and current hits, from Sinatra and Etta James, to Justin Timberlake and The Black Eyed Peas. Their sophisticated and high impact choreography provides the exciting visual entertainment you would normally find only on a major concert stage. No matter the scale of the event, The MVPs captivate audiences, getting them involved both on and off the stage. And whether performing classy background cocktail/dinner music, or packing the floor with their jaw-dropping dance extravaganzas, their talented singers, dancers, and musicians continue to build upon their well deserved reputation as America’s #1 Show Band. Making every event run like clockwork, and promoting the highest level of service and professionalism, MVP founder, manager and percussionist, Ric Grea, brings over 25 years of experience in entertainment and event production. He has enthusiastically developed long lasting relationships with fans, agents, and clients, some of whom continue to patronize the band’s services year after year after year.
