The Cougars

Entertainment

The Cougars Band is a 6-piece Rock and Roll group fronted by 3 lead female vocalists. Their specialty is belty, high-energy songs and lots of harmonies. You’ll hear everything from Journey to Lady GaGa with some cross over country mixed in. They also play 80s hits and party songs to keep the dance floor full. While fun is the name of the game with this band, you will find some impressive musicianship coming from the stage as each member has many years of playing experience under their belt.
