𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬
𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐧𝐢: 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟕–𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑
If there’s one band synonymous with “it’s always a great night,” it’s 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬.
With seven Sound Waves appearances to their name, they are among the most frequently featured bands in the series’ history—and every return feels just as fresh as the first.
Known for rich three-part harmonies and an expansive catalog spanning the ’70s through today, The Goodnicks effortlessly blend pop, rock, country, dance favorites, and original music into a show that’s high-energy, crowd-driven, and genuinely fun. Fronted by songwriter and vocalist 𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐤 𝐉. 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐫, the band is anchored by musical director and keyboardist 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐢, with layered guitar textures from 𝐑𝐢𝐜 𝐅𝐨𝐬𝐬, rock-solid rhythm from bassist 𝐓𝐨𝐦 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭, and powerhouse percussion from drummer 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐨.
When invited back this season, the band shared they were on hiatus while Tom spent a year in Paris with his family.
The response was simple: What if we flew him back? We are!
Because some bands—and some nights—are worth it.

#𝐌𝐲𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐖𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭
New Year’s Eve. December 31, 2021.
Six hours. Two full concerts.
A custom-built stage, rotating dancers in multiple costumes, a DJ between band breaks, countdown screens, and a laser light show at midnight. Thousands of people of all ages filled the park as The Goodnicks carried us from early evening straight through to 1:00 a.m. It was one of those rare, off-the-chains nights—joyful, communal, and unforgettable: an epic way to welcome a new year, and a defining Sound Waves moment.
