If you want a Saturday night that sounds exactly like the decade you remember, Kids In America is bringing the full 80s catalog to Village Square Tap House in Clemmons on November 21. This is a six-piece band that recreates the era with live instruments, no backing tracks, and enough range to cover everything from arena rock to dance-floor hip hop. The show starts at 9:30 PM, and the room is small enough that you’ll hear every synth line and guitar solo the way they were written.
You’ll get two hours of the songs that defined mixtapes, MTV countdowns, and every high school dance between 1980 and 1989. If you grew up on these records or you just love a good singalong, this is the kind of night where the setlist does the work.

About Kids In America
Kids In America is a six-piece 80s cover band built on years of live experience and a shared commitment to recreating the decade exactly as it sounded. Shannon Remley and Ray Hartsfield handle female and male lead vocals. Shannon’s powerhouse vocals and energy along with Ray’s charisma and showmanship make for the ultimate male-female lead vocal combo upfront. Roey Haviv plays bass guitar and bass synth, GK Via covers lead guitar and lead and background vocals, Rob Bowser on keyboards and synths, and Mike Graci handles drums and electronic percussion. This 6 piece very talented band plays everything live with no tracks, covering pop, hair metal, new wave, hip hop and dance with the kind of precision and accuracy that comes from over a thousand shows for just over a decade.
What You Will Hear
Expect the kind of night where you might hear “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” “Take On Me,” “Beat It,” “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” and “Jump.” The band moves between Bon Jovi and Madonna, between Guns N’ Roses and Cyndi Lauper, with the fluency that comes from playing this material hundreds of times. If a song had a video on MTV or a spot on a John Hughes soundtrack, it’s likely in rotation. The setlist is built to keep you moving, and the vocals are strong enough to carry the big choruses that made these songs last.
About the Venue
Village Square Tap House focuses on craft beer, with a rotating tap list and flights that let you sample without committing. The venue does not serve food, but nearby delivery and bring-your-own-snacks are part of the setup. It’s a small room with a stage that puts you close to the band, and the Saturday vibe tends toward people who showed up to stay for a while. The Tap House opens at noon on Saturdays and stays open until 2 AM, so you can arrive early or settle in after the show.
