Kokomo Time is gearing for another year.

The Kokomo Time Band is a “Trop Rock” style band with a “feel good” party type sound that is gearing for the spring and summer season.

“Over the past few years, we have changed dramatically,” Jim Steffan band leader states. “We have added quite an array of fun-party-‘dance’ – type ‘ sing-a-long type tunes like ‘Sweet Caroline,’ ‘Viva Las Vegas, ‘ ‘Pink Cadillac,’ ‘Mony Mony’ so as to offer more energy and entertaining ‘dance-party’ sounds.”

This year will offer more of the same from the Kokomo Time Band with addiitions: Gimme Good Lovin’, a NEW Bo-Diddly- Jive’ medley, and an ambitious ‘Santana ‘ Medley just to name just a few..
