Awesome Experience

Setting up a piano player for our wedding was so easy and very affordable. Angelynn was super helpful and walked me through the process. Elisa played beautifully and was a wonderful touch to our ceremony.

Best day ever

Platinum band music was a absolute hit! They kept our guest on the dance floor all night long. Our contact Angel was a literal angel to work with. Communication was clear from the very start. We are so happy we decided to go with this band as they helped make our wedding day the best day of our life!!

High energy band that MADE our day!

Platinum Groove absolutely crushed our wedding day, from the ceremony music, to cocktail hour, to reception! We went with the option to add a trio of horns for the reception band and had zero regrets. From playing our favorite songs, to engaging with the crowd, we were so glad we went with Platinum for our big day.

Team

Angelynn Rittweger
Angelynn Rittweger
Owner/Leader/Lead Female Vocalist

Angel started singing professionally at the age of 15. At 16, she recorded her first original album at RCA in New York under the production of Brian Sperber (Whitney Houston). For the next 12 years, underthe training of Gerry Jannsen (Irene Cara, Kevin Bacon), Angel studied voice at the Vocal Fitness Center in NY, and strengthened her natural born talent. She was recruited as lead vocalist for the NY based all-girl original rock group, Antigone Rising (Lava Records, Atlantic Records) and was ‘winner of the Levi’s Talent Search’. That earned the rock band a spot on the Lilith Fair tour, opening for Sarah McLachlan, a spot on the first Lilith Fair CD, a series of performances and interviews on VHI, MTV and the Today Show and a 'behind the music' documentary for VH1. This put the band on the map for much future success. During that time, Angel continued to record with writers for Cyndi Lauper, the Tuesdays, Eva Cassidy, Laura Branigan, members of Orleans and Kansas and later became the female backing vocalist for rock prodigy Annie Haslam of Rennassaince.

Fast forward to today... Angel is the proud owner of Platinum Band Music, with her long-time partner/husband, John and continues to front the Platinum Band as their leader & lead female vocalist. Angel is easy to work with, consciencous, attentive to details and a Veteran in the industry.

Area performances include The Bottom Line, PNC Bank Arts enter, Club Bene’, Central Park and the Keswick Theatre. John is currently the keyboardist for the Platinum Band and also plays with TMR, a YES tribute band that is endorsed by YES Management.

Steve  Coleman
Steve Coleman
Lead Vocalist

Steve Coleman is probably the most requested singer of all time! His ability to change his voice and mimic artists is unbelievable. People stop what they are doing and focus their attention on Steve when he sings artists like Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen, Journey, Rod Stewart, Van Morrison, Elton John, Billy Joel and other classic rockers.

He's a true artist, with several original albums under his belt; most of them folky sounding with real-life lyrics.

Steve is the font-man for the Platinum Band since 2005. He's a breeze to work with! Steve is a kind-hearted soul, with a stage presence that truly captivates and the voice that changes to fit any song.
