F.A.Q.
In a word, “music-flexible.” As a wedding and event band, we have to be versed in many different styles of music to please diverse audiences. We cover several genres of music - pop, rock, rap, country, disco, Motown, etc.
We know when choosing live entertainment for your event, video samples might not be enough to make an informed decision. Visit our schedule page to find an upcoming public show. We can also make arrangements to preview us at an upcoming wedding.
We are an 8-piece band that includes drums, bass guitar, lead guitar, keyboards, tenor sax, alto sax, male and female vocals. Four members of the band sing lead and all provide backing harmonies.
No, we provide all of our own equipment and lighting and have separate systems for wedding ceremony and cocktail hour if they are located in different locations than the main setup area.
The eight band members plus our sound technician will arrive generally three hours prior to the start of your event to load in, set up and sound check everything with a target time to be completed 30 minutes before guest arrival.
The client and event dictate what we wear. If you’re having a backyard luau and want us to wear Hawaiian shirts, no problem. Throwing a Halloween party? You bet we’ll be in costumes. For weddings and corporate events we are dressed professionally in black suits and matching ties.
For weddings, we typically play two long sets with up to a 30-minute break in between. DJ music will be played during that time.
You can cancel at any time but deposits are non-refundable.
We play and sing everything live save for the occasional sound byte run from a keyboard or electronic drum trigger.
Absolutely. Our clients always pick all the music they want us to play. Some give us the freedom to “read the room” but a ‘do not play’ list is helpful to us to know what the client does not want.
Pre-event coordination is included with every event. We prepare an itinerary based on how the client wants the night to run.
Every wedding and event is unique and therefore we need to find out what the client wants, the location, the timeframe plus other details to accurately quote a fee. Contact us for a quote.
We do offer three different wedding packages:
ELITE - 8-piece band for after dinner entertainment + 3-piece jazz trio for cocktail hour + ceremony music and setup
PREMIUM - 8-piece band for after dinner entertainment + 3-piece jazz trio for cocktail hour
STANDARD - 8-piece band for after dinner entertainment + DJ music for cocktail hour
Overtime can be pre-arranged or on the spot - we have plenty of songs to keep the party going!!
We ask the client how they’d like us to handle song requests. Because they choose all the music we play live as well as DJ, many refrain from having us take song requests.
We always try to perform with all 8 of our current members. However, there are times when we need to employ a sub. Rest assured our subs are all professional and trained on our catalog of music. Many are former band members.
Absolutely! We have done several themed events over the years = 80s party, disco party, British Invasion show, Motown tribute and of course, Halloween parties.
The client always chooses all the music we play live as well as what we DJ. We provide a totally customized entertainment experience based on what the client wants.
NOTE: for a typical wedding the client would choose 45 songs for us to play live and 8-10 DJ songs for the break

Yes, we emcee the event based on the client’s itinerary to keep the party moving along smoothly.
