Originally a Rock/Top 40 group in mid Michigan, with a fan base thousands strong and selling out every public event they do, Newsmaker expanded its repertoire some time ago to provide the best in wedding and event entertainment. They provide an unparalleled, heart pumping sound and show for every event, and while they’re not as well known as a wedding band, have a real passion for weddings. In the words of Perry, Newsmaker’s bandleader, “This is the biggest day of their lives and I take that very seriously. It’s a real honor for me and the group to work with them and provide a night they’ll never forget”.
