SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE DANCE EXPERIENCE

Enjoy a SUPER Show with this 31-Piece Extravaganza

When they find out James Taylor cost $500k, Carrie Underwood is $850k, Don Henley $500k, Bon Jovi $850k, etc., they look for alternative entertainment options. Meet Simply Irresistible® Dance Experience, the show everyone is talking about!

Leader Ronnie Garrett, the creator of Simply Irresistible in 2008, is Tyler Perry’s musical director and has 11 movie soundtracks to his credit.

Partnering with Dennis Smith from Party On the Moon and Kimmie Gibson, Beyonce’s Choreographer, these veterans set out on a mission to take an existing artist and make it a national act entertainment option without the price, ego or crazy rider. Knowing what it takes to produce a major national show, Ronnie wanted to take his band Simply Irresistible and create a show like nothing he had ever seen on the big stage.

Six months of rehearsal went into ramping up an already great band in Simply Irresistible and add adding 18 more musicians, singers and dancers to make a 31-piece Supercharged Show! Eight Horns, eight dancers, 10 amazing singers, and an awesome band!!!

The horns guys have played with the likes of Maroon 5, Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige and Janelle Monae. The singers have toured with other national acts like Yani, Elton John, Aretha Franklin and Earth, Wind and Fire. Band members have arranged shows for the Super Bowl, Jennifer Lopez, JZ, and Beyonce.

As you can see, this is not just another band. It is a Supercharged show with SuperStar talent that will get you on your feet from the very first note and not let you sit down until there NON-STOP show is finished hours later.

So, if you are tired of going to shows to see a worn out national act play for 75 minutes and you only know three songs and you want an affordable national entertainment option unlike any other in the country, book Simply Irresistible Dance Experience.

  • Simply Irresistible put on a performance of a lifetime. All of the guests could not stop talking about how great they were. Simply an amazing show that was the hit of the night. We've had people asking how they can book them for upcoming events. This is the second event they have done for the Smith family and they will do our future events as well!! What a show!!!

  • OMG -- they are so amazing. All around the BEST -- from their professionalism to their "easygoing-ness" (parking downtown Austin is a mess) to overall performance, choreography, etc. LOVE all of them -- the bus driver, LD, lead singer. So great. I honestly don't know how I'll ever work with any other band again. Thanks so much for helping us get them booked!!! It truly made our party. The client is THRILLED.
