The Castaways is a nationally-known Minnesota based rock 'n' roll band that audiences have been demanding and enjoying for many years.
The Castaways is comprised of four talented musicians: Jim Donna (keyboards and vocals – one of the original founders of the band), Bob Donna (guitar and vocals), Rick Snider (drums and vocals), and Ralph Hintz (bass and vocals).
In the band's early days, The Castaways recorded Jim's composition "Liar, Liar," which became a million seller that vaulted the band into the nation's top ten! In later years, Bob joined the band along with Rick and Ralph. In 2005, Jim was inducted into the Minnesota Rock/Country Hall of Fame.
The Castaways feature a lively dance beat and tightly knit, quality sound, from the high energy of Bruce Springsteen to the soulful ballads of the Righteous Brothers. The Castaways fill the dance floor from the first note and will keep you dancing through every set! Their fast-paced and versatile song selections range from pop and album artists, classic rock, mood-setting ballads, and the best of '50s and '60s favorites.
From their famous hula-hoop contest to audience sing-a-longs, you're sure to be entertained by the Castaways!
