Knockout

Knockout has been around since the late 80's, under the former name "Club 5:01". The band re-grouped in 1995 with a new name and new material.

KnockOut is composed of 6 members, featuring dynamic female and male lead vocalists, guitar/vocals, bass/vocals, keyboards, and drums. Performing a wide variety of music from today's current hits and album cuts, right on back to 60's R&B, Knockout plays for everyone.

Knockout has played for a whole host of functions, from corporate parties to high school reunions to clubs, from frat houses to party houses to the War Memorial. The band has been selected in the past as the feature act for the Park Avenue Festival and Jumpin' Jack Basketball Tournament. In 1991 the group headlined for the City of Rochester's Fourth of July Fireworks and "Operation Welcome Home" party for troops returning from Desert Storm. The band has also performed at "Downtown Alive At Five" events and "First Friday's" at the Memorial Art Gallery. No event or party is too big or too small.
