They have performed at many popular "twin cities" music venues in their quest to share their diverse repertoire. Influences are countless but include such names as Delbert McClinton, Los Lobos, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, CCR, Los Lonely Boys, and the Subdudes to name a few. Along with their originals, The Retractions always play the classic tunes and popular dance music you grew up with.
A Retractions performance is more than just a stimulating musical experience. The band takes to the stage with an energy that envelopes even the most casual bystander.
