Backstreet DJs

Since 1980, this brother and sister team (Rick Matousek and Judi Chevrolet) has had the pleasure of working together providing quality entertainment for a wide variety of audiences and events. Whether they are spinning cd’s as dj’s, singing together in their 2-piece combo or performing together in their 6-piece band, Rick and Judi deliver a combination of professionalism, excitement and fun that makes every party a success!

Having a DJ team like BackStreet ensures a seamless flow of events. While Rick enjoys staying on stage putting together a great mix of tunes, Judi works her magic as she coordinates the evening’s itinerary utilizing her sunny smile and cheery disposition making her the universal favorite. The end result is that they never fail to deliver the goods!

Having been raised in a theatrical and musical family, Rick started playing keyboards at the age of seven. He soon “outgrew” his instructor, taught himself to the texts of John Mehegan and performed with Neil Geraldo, guitarist for Pat Benatar. He toured with MainStreet Singers in Las Vegas opening for such acts as Rodney Dangerfield, Bob Hope and Rich Little among many others. Rick is currently the music director of BackStreet Entertainment writing originals, charts & sequences, arranging vocals, playing keyboards, dj-ing and singing lead male vocals.

Their unique blend of talent, experience and creative passion make BackStreet your ideal entertainment choice.
