The Remnants

In March 2023 one of the most popular dance bands, The Original Triumphs decided to retire. Four members of that group were not ready to retire; Steve Wendtland, Billy Hafer, KP Peikert, and Debra Gayle made a decision to start a new group and continue to play a wide variety of dance music.

The Remnants are a group of talented and experienced musicians, with a dynamic and powerful horn section that will cove dance music from Country, Easy listening, Motown, Pop, and Rock. The vision of the band is to play that timeless music from the 60’s through the 90’s that will bring back memories and keep you on the dance floor all night long.
