If you grew up taping songs off the radio or sneaking into MTV marathons after curfew, you know exactly what Saturday night at Stooges Pub & Grub should sound like. Kids In America brings the full decade to Mint Hill on November 28th—synth hooks, arena choruses, big singalongs, and the kind of energy that makes you forget you have work on Monday.
This is the show where you hear the songs that defined junior high dances, summer road trips, and every graduation party that mattered. Six musicians, zero backing tracks, and a setlist built to move.

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 “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” “Beat It,” “Jump,” “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” and “Sweet Child o’ Mine.” The setlist pulls from pop radio staples, hair metal anthems, new wave hooks, and the hip hop and dance tracks that soundtracked basement parties and roller rinks. If it defined the 80s, it’s in the room.
