Wow! Need I say more to give this band credit?! They had a huge variety of music, and they kept the crowd entertained the entire evening. Their sound was superb, and they played at the appropriate sound level for our event. Everyone, young and old, danced until they stopped playing. We couldn't have selected a more fun band to help us celebrate our event, and we would certainly use them again!

Amazing band...book them asap. I have heard this band at two different weddings and at an outdoor concert. They were sensational. They play a huge variety of music from Sinatra to rock to motown and beach music. They arrived early for the weddings and played requests that guests asked them to play on the spot. Great male and female vocalists. The dance floor was packed and they involved guests in the whole show.

Additional Advice

This band features ALL LIVE Performers playing their instruments LIVE for an incredible, moving musical experience.

Unfortunately, most audiences find out too late but many bands today use sequences,(cds) and basically are doing karaoke over prerecorded music. The bass parts, drum parts, horns and even background vocals are prerecored like Karaoke. A DJ and people singing karaoke is not a live band.

Live music should come from LIVE musicians, don't you think?

Our big band loves to play and share our talents with the world. Great music like ours is rare. Call us soon and we will work with you to make sure your event gets a fantastic band and a lifetime of memories to go with it.
