Nostalgia Rush 
Rating: 5.0 (21 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • DJ
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves West Des Moines, IA

After I finished my PhD in genetics and molecular biology at Yale, I left behind a career as a research scientist to pursue a lifelong dream as a professional sax player. While the pandemic was a roadblock to many musicians, I managed to gain momentum as a street performer when I began hosting outdoor concerts for the local entertainment-deprived graduate students. A few of my fellow graduates asked me to perform at their weddings, and even DJ, so I spent the next two years honing my skills and constructing a very 80's synthwave-style brand and equipment to match the vibe.

“Lucas was the life of the party at our Oak Hill Farm wedding and made our day truly incredible. From our first conversation, he was responsive and professional, getting back to us right away with thoughtful answers to all our questions. What really blew us away was how he learned multiple songs just for us and coordinated seamlessly with our DJ to create different vibes throughout the night. His energy was contagious and kept our guests dancing the entire time. We loved how he adapted the setlist and mood as the evening went on, from dinner to dancing. If you want a musician that will bring the fun and help create an unforgettable celebration, Nostalgia Rush is your answer. Our guests still talk about how much fun he brought to our wedding.”

“We're so happy to have worked with Adrian! First, his pricing was incredibly affordable for the Chicago market. Adrian was a clear and responsive communicator which was such a relief as we were planning our wedding from out of state. His questionnaire leading up to the event was very thorough to make sure that everything was set so the day would go smoothly. Our guests told us after a wedding how great the music was, and how much fun they had on the dance floor! After getting an idea of our music taste and the energy on the dance floor, he was able to take that and run with it, making the night flow seamlessly.

Much more than just a traditional standalone Chicago wedding band, Arlen Music ensembles are recognized as leaders within the Chicago special event band industry. Winner of the 2014-2021 Best Band by Better Magazine, the Ken Arlen Evolution Orchestra has also developed a nationwide presence with performances ranging from New Year’s Eve at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, to the Presidential Inaugural Ball in Washington, D.C.

“Indigo was the band we chose for our Chicago wedding at Salvage One. We cannot say enough great things about Indigo – they made all our wedding band dreams come true! The band is lead by the incredibly talented Kendall Nesbitt, who kept all of our guests on the dance floor (including himself) all night long, curating a set list that perfectly matched our music taste (Motown, oldies and pop). He delivered the BEST version of “Shout!” (with a mashup of Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds!) we have ever heard. Some guests who typically do not prefer that song were raving about it. Each band member and singer were also insanely talented – Noah perfectly sang our first dance song “Forever You and Me”. We also would be remiss to not mention the solo guitar during our ceremony too. They were able to perfectly learn and play versions of songs we requested for the processional. If you are looking for a high energy, fun wedding band, we highly recommend working with Arlen, specifically Indigo. “Worth every penny.” – A happy father of the bride. Thanks Arlen/Indigo!”
