About Six Million Dollar Band
Based in Denver, Colorado, the 6 Million Dollar Band (6MDB) delivers an electrifying tribute to the iconic sounds of the 1980s. With a focus on new wave, dance and synthpop, 6MDB recreates the music of the era with remarkable precision—capturing the style, sound, and energy that made the decade unforgettable. From Tears for Fears and Madonna to Journey, Talking Heads, and Duran Duran, the band brings their timeless songs to new life with authenticity and flair.
Each member of 6MDB brings nearly two decades of professional experience, combining tight musicianship with passionate performance. The band is known for its dynamic four-part harmonies, blazing guitar solos, synth-driven arrangements, and high-energy stage presence—all of which contribute to a truly immersive 80s concert experience.
Now in its 18th year, 6MDB continues to perform to sold-out crowds across Colorado and beyond. Highlights include opening for national acts like Bret Michaels and Kool & the Gang, solidifying their status as one of the region’s premier live acts.
