The Movers 🎶 Live Music You Won't Want to Miss! 🎶
The Movers have been a staple of the regional blues scene for many years, and they're bringing their signature sound to the Newark Rotary Family Fest!
Led by guitarist John "Shadow" Stiles and harmonica player/frontman Sean "Earthquake" McCue, the band also features the high-energy Anson Stiles on bass and former John Cole drummer John Chaffer. Together, they deliver a crowd-pleasing performance that keeps audiences coming back for more.
From blues classics like Who Do You Love and Big Boss Man to rock 'n' roll favorites like Blue Suede Shoes, The Movers know how to get the crowd on its feet!
