The year is 1986. Your parents force you onto the annual family cruise. You drag your feet (and your walkman) aboard the vessel. All of a sudden, the entire deck is getting down to “Never Gonna Give You Up”! Do you join in, or man overboard? 🏊‍♂️

Hosted by your Captain, DJ Y!KES, we are setting sail to all your favorite 80’s JAMS! 🪩🛳️

✅ Financial Crisis?

✅ Pointless War?

✅ Hitting the Gangnam Style on the dance floor to attract s*xual partners?

Transport yourself to a time when partying was the ONLY escape from impending doom!

Music from PSY, LMFAO, Kesha, Usher, Pitbull, Flo Rida, Rhianna, Lady Gaga, and many more.

⭐️COUGAR-OKE: DOLLY-OKE ⭐️

For Cougar Stampede, we’re trading in the regular karaoke playlist for something VERY special: DOLLY. ONLY!

That’s right, Cougars. Every song at Cougar-oke: Dolly-oke will be a Dolly Parton song — because if anyone deserves a whole night of singing, celebrating, laughing, crying, dancing, and letting it ALL OUT… it’s Dolly.

We’re honoring an incredible life, an incredible woman, and a catalog of songs that have soundtracked heartbreak, hope, resilience, love, independence, and getting back up again.
And honestly? Singing is therapy.

So grab your girls. Grab your bestie. Grab your liquid courage. Go find Madame Velvet on the OG side of The Ship and GRAB THE MIC!

Because Dolly taught us that you can be kind and badass, glamorous and grounded, successful and generous — and you should never be afraid to take up a little space.
GET UP. GET LOUD. CELEBRATE DOLLY. 💕

Think golden hour on the prairie with a drink in hand and your boots already broken in.

Sports, Conference, and Large-Scale Events DJ When the sun starts to dip, DJ Dawna takes over and turns the rodeo into a full-blown Cougar Club dance party. Expect high-energy edits, singalongs, disco, pop, country remixes, throwbacks, and all the feel-good anthems that keep our dance floors packed. If you’ve been to Cougar Club before, you already know—she knows exactly how to get the herd moving.

From country classics to dance floor bangers, Cougar Stampede is a musical journey from the ranch to the rave.
