Rock 'n Roll Team Building
Rock 'n Roll Team Building
multi-city
Connection. Creativity. Chaos (the fun kind). Available all over the USA! Forget the icebreakers and trust falls. This is team building that cranks up the volume and gets your people actually connecting — not just collecting another tote bag. We take your team, hand them a mic (sometimes literally), and turn a room of colleagues into a full-blown rock choir. It’s equal parts live music, laughter, storytelling, and spine-tingling harmony — all tailored to your event. Here’s What You Get: • 🎸 Live Music that kicks like a drum solo at Wembley • 🎤 Storytelling that hits the heart (and the funny bone) • 🎶 3-Part Harmony Choir — no singing skills required, just good vibes • 🤘 Audience Improv — spontaneous, unforgettable, and never awkward • 📝 Custom Song Creation that ties your event together with a chorus your team will hum all the way home Perfect for: • 🚀 Launching big ideas • 🔋 Energizing the middle of a long agenda • 🎉 Ending on a high that actually gets remembered We’ve done this with 10 people. We’ve done it with 2,500. Either way, we bring the same stadium-worthy energy. We’re fronted by Grammy-nominated INXS frontman Ciaran Gribbin, backed by world-class musicians, and powered by pure rock ‘n roll spirit. This isn’t “team building.” It’s a shared experience that gives your people goosebumps, grins, and genuine connection. Ready to shake things up? Let’s talk. "Best Team Building I've ever booked. Ciaran and the band were great." Arrow Electronics "It was absolutely the best team event I have ever run or attended." Lamb Weston "I can honestly say that Rock 'n Roll Team Building is the best event experience I have ever seen at a conference." Jazz Pharmaceuticals

It doesn’t even have to be New York City – here at The Ultimate Secondhand Shopping Experience, we encourage you to shop thrift stores and resale shops whenever you travel! This is because you get an insider perspective of the culture of an area by visiting its thrift stores. You’ll most likely visit a neighborhood or a street you would have passed normally.

But a few more we want to point out: ✔️ It’s an excellent bonding opportunity for families ✔️ Mother/daughters LOVE it ✔️ Spend money affordably … and not on overpriced box stores ✔️ Shop with locals and learn more about NYC through their lens ✔️ Find something you’d “never find in your town” ✔️ Did we mention that NYC is the fashion capital of the world? ✔️ Tax free clothing, shoes, and accessories up to $110 in the state of NY ✔️ Create memories that last, be it with friends, family, or just yourself!

Book one of our group secondhand shopping or flea market shopping tours. Our group tours are designed to bring strangers together in an inclusive, kind and fun way. Meet other visitors to NYC and share your secondhand stories with them from store to store. Looking to have a private experience for your family, large group, party or corporate gathering? We absolutely offer private tour experiences that can be catered to fit your shopping and group needs. Looking for something made just for you and your group? All private tours can be customized. Contact us with more information and we can contact you to discuss your needs and pricing options! Where We Meet We typically meet guests at the Ace Hotel located at 20 W 29th Street (midtown Manhattan, 10 blocks south of Times Square). If we are taking guests on a Brooklyn tour, we typically meet them at the Whole Foods upstairs cafe located at 4 Union Square (Manhattan, at 14th Street). At both pre-experience meeting locations you’ll find a cafe and bathroom, which are both convenient before your marathon secondhand shopping day! For larger groups and corporate events, we organize meetings at a private location also conveniently located near midtown and subway access. That address is determined before the tour and space rental is included in booking fees.
