Welcome to High Street
Richie and the High Street Rockers are a vintage Rock n' Roll band based out of Pottstown, PA. Playing both originals and covers from the 1950s and early 1960s, they are passionately reinventing the sound of rock's roots for the 21st century. Buckle up for hot renditions of classics by Little Richard, Elvis, and Eddie Cochran, then lean back for soft ballads by Dion, Buddy Holly, and the Everly Brothers. With their signature, snappy outfits and overflowing energy, you're guaranteed to be twisting the night away!
The name "High Street Rockers" is taken from the main thoroughfare in Pottstown, PA, where founding member Richard Thomas spent many years at the Ballroom on High developing a love for vintage dance. He wanted a name that harkened back to an era where Saturday night was best spent downtown with friends, cruising slow with the windows down until you reached your favorite venue or soda fountain. Once Richard found the talents of Brad Herring (bass/vocals) and the rhythmic stylings of Austin Bright (drums/vocals): it was time to Rock and Roll.
​
Since then, the group has had many fantastic adventures. They've spent their evenings playing swing dances, car shows, school sock hops, theatre shows and more. In the fall of 2024 they recorded their debut album at the famous Sun Studios in Memphis (now availble for purchase!).
​
As the group continues to evolve, their mission remains the same: Sharing the joy of music and dancing through the sounds of 50's and 60's Rock n' Roll.
