The only ALL-FEMALE Aerosmith Tribute Band!

Rising quickly through the tribute ranks, RagDolls has garnered the type of critical acclaim - in the span of a few years - that takes most tributes years to achieve. Delivering energetic and powerful performances, RagDolls dig deep into the soul of America’s greatest rock and roll band. If imitation is the greatest form of flattery, then it is blatantly clear that these women capture the essence of Aerosmith out of a love for the music and its energy. Their ultimate goal: to leave audiences feeling like they’ve experienced the real thing.

Continue with our 2024 Professional Development Series with this session on Ergonomics, Physical Orientation, Movement, Chiropractic tips with Dr. Roberto Desena and team.

Dr. Desena's office is sponsoring a light breakfast.
