As of January 1, 2015, The Ablemen have retired from performing. The band members thank all those who supported us for the past 51 years. We acknowledge all the private individuals and clubs who hired us to entertain. Gratitude goes out to all of the DJ's and IJ's who spun our recordings. We have truly enjoyed entertaining tens of thousands of people through six decades and hope that we had the opportunity to put a smile on your face.

May you always be ABLE!
