Featuring Retrospekt

Retrospekt is excited to play for the first time at Martini’s on Water Street! Our band specializes in and celebrates music from the fantastic musical era the 1960s, which brought us groups such as The Beatles, Monkees, Rolling Stones, Guess Who, Three Dog Night, Kinks, Paul Revere and the Raiders, The Buckinghams, and so many more! Whether you lived through the 60s or simply love the music of that magic decade, you won’t want to miss an evening with Retrospekt!  More info
