Romeo Delight being named in the Van Halen book “Unchained” as one of the top tribute bands in the country, as well as top vocals, confirms their value to the music world. The band’s energy has proved to be so Van Halen worthy that David Lee Roth selected Romeo Delight’s video for his “The Roth Show.”

In December 2020 and January 2021, the band played two live shows with COVID-protocols in place. The Landis Theater in New Jersey and The Sellersville Theater in Philadelphia were both sell-outs.

Both Romeo Delight shows also proved a fitting tribute to guitarist Eddie Van Halen — who sadly passed away in 2020. Said Blanchard about Van Halen’s passing:

Romeo Delight is mourning the loss of a true American Legend. Eddie was the most talented musician who has touched and shaped the world of music like no other. Romeo Delight has always showcased his talent and will continue to play his music and honor his legacy with our performances.

The world has lost a Guitar Hero and we are all saddened by this news. You fought long and hard Eddie. Thank you for the music and the memories. We love you and will continue to play your music forever.

Rest in Peace. — Romeo Delight

One can truly feel Van Halen’s high energy emanating through this tribute band showcasing the same sound and look. Romeo Delight shines as the single world band to perform all Van

Halen’s albums in track sequence. They not only showcase the Roth era, but also Sammy Hagar, and have recreated with detail the instruments, staging, and costumes.

The award-winning group proves why tribute bands rank as the top type of live entertainment. Micky Dolenz of the Monkees has taken note of the band’s value choosing Romeo Delight to perform as his backing band at numerous events.
