Category 5 Band brings the sound and style of Arena Rock back to the club. By playing a combination of cover material that ranges from everyday and current dance favorites to epic artists such as Boston, Van Halen, Journey, SRV and Rush, Category 5 entertains any audience from the dance crowd to the hard-core music lover.  They believe a well tuned performance and giving back to the community is their secret to success. “We as a band as well as our families are very fortunate even in these tough times. We think it pretty cool that we can actually rock out for a couple good causes.” Said band leader Perry Zaremba. “We’ll do what it takes for a good time and it feels good that we can do our part to help the needy in our community.” For more information on Category 5 check the web site http://www.cat5rocks.com or call (248) 249-4020.
