About The Riverside Hitmen

Kyle Tennis

Life Of The Party

Congrats! The Riverside Hitmen is one of the most talented and fun bands in the Midwest, playing hits from all genres and every decade. On top of our ridiculously fun band, we include our DJ and Emcee (Kyle), providing music and announcements from the moment your guests arrive until the final note. The band (with DJ/EmCee) in the Twin Cities area is $3500. There’s no tax, and tipping is optional.   I find it's best to talk about your vision, and see if we're the perfect team for you. Do you have any time for a phone call tomorrow? Let me know, congrats again and we’ll talk soon! Kyle - (personal information protected by Zola) (personal information protected by Zola)

Our "special sauce" is in our approach. Yes, we're a great band, yes, we've been doing it for years, and yes, we have the best horn section in the Twin Cities. But we want to get to know you, and work with you to create your perfect party. How can we make this night REALLY special? What creative ideas (and songs) can we weave into the night to make it unforgettable for your family, friends, and wedding party? Let's make sure we pull you on stage to play cowbell at least once with the band. Let us know what makes you tick, and we'll create the perfect party together.

Best of Zola 2023

    The band was amazing!!! Everyone was talking about them the entire reception and it has came up every time without fail when seeing our friends and family after the wedding as well. Couldn't have asked for better communication and MC skills from Kyle and the band absolutely blew any expectation out the the water with their musicality, we were so glad that we added on the brass players. It was also so great to have our first dance live! They brought the energy and it made the night for sure. 100000/10 would hire again, no regrets

    We had The Riverside Hitmen at our August, 22nd 2019 wedding. They were unbelievable. This was my big splurge, and it was money well spent. Considering we had a piano and cello at the ceremony, a jazz trio during cocktail hour, and a full band with horn section play for four hours at the reception, I feel the price was very reasonable. Kyle was super accommodating. My bride is from Nigeria, and the morning of the big day, she sent Kyle a bunch of African music for the DJ to play during the band's breaks. Even with that late notice, without hesitation, Kyle found all the songs online and had them ready. Having the African music was a nice touch that was very much appreciated by my bride's family. All night long our guests asked, "Where did you find this band? They are amazing!" I booked the band without ever seeing them in person, and I am extremely happy I did. The Riverside Hitmen are incredible. If you are considering booking a band, you cannot go wrong with The Riverside Hitmen. Kyle and the rest of The Riverside Hitmen, thanks for everything. Its almost two months since our wedding, and I still light up when I think how fun our wedding was in large part because of the fantastic live music you provided. Thanks again, Precious and Andy

    I can't recommend The Riverside Hitmen enough. They MADE our wedding! Kyle is super flexible, easy to work with, and will accommodate for whatever you need. He arrived early and helped our whole wedding run extremely smoothly. He checks in just enough to make sure everything is going well, but lets you enjoy the day to its fullest. Beyond that, the band is seriously SO talented. Wayyyy above and beyond your average wedding cover band - they are some of the most talented musicians I know. They are also experts at making the dance interactive for your guests - we had a packed dance floor the entire night (a feat for a Sunday wedding)! The pricing is very transparent, and you can pick and choose the combination of things that works for you so you are not paying for a bunch of things you don't want. 10/10 would recommend!
