Question 4

Do you travel?

Accepted Answer

Yes absolutly

Question 5

Do you take requests?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We offer unlimited song requests from our extensive song list and include up to three complete custom requests at no extra charge. For additional custom requests, we can learn more songs for a small fee.
We ask for at least 4 weeks' notice for these requests. If your event is approaching soon, please reach out to your band leader to see what can be accommodated on a shorter timeline. While we strive to fulfill all requests, especially unique ones (such as songs in a different language or requiring a full orchestra), these may require additional approval.
We recommend focusing on the songs we excel at based on our extensive experience, but don’t hesitate to share any special song requests you have in mind!

Question 6

What time do you arrive to set up?

Accepted Answer

Arrival times can vary as every event is different. Generally at least 2 hours prior to guest arrival is recomended. We will talk to you about event specifics, if the event requires an overly early set up that option can also be discussed.

Question 7

Why a live band and not a DJ?

Accepted Answer

Nothing compares to the electrifying energy of a live performance. Bands bring a stage presence that a solo DJ simply can’t match.

Sure, a DJ might be more budget-friendly, but when it comes to entertainment, it can make or break your event. Believe us, it’s worth investing in.
Can you join in on a live performance of a Prince song? Can you witness a guitarist playing a solo with such intensity that it feels like his life depends on it?
The true magic of live music is in the ENERGY. 
We also offer affordable options to combine a DJ with live performances, so you can have the best of both worlds and create a night you'll never forget.

Question 8

Can we see you live?

Accepted Answer

Most of our events are private, including weddings, personal birthdays, and high-profile corporate gatherings, which often take place in challenging venue locations or under high security. As a result, it’s not always possible to see us perform live unless we're at a public showcase.
We understand that it’s important to get a feel for our performance, so we offer video content to help you get an idea of our style. If you'd like to see more or learn about our next public showcase or performance, please feel free to reach out to us for additional content or details.

Question 9

What does the band need on the night of the performance

Accepted Answer

- Band requires a hot dinner or vendor meal (got to give these rockstars energy to get you guys dancing)
- Power (stable power on 2 designated circuits)
- bottled water for the performance area
- flat, hard, surface to play
- we do not require a stage but it is a nice addition
- an area or greenroom for the band unless you are ok with the band hanging amongst the guests - please note the band may need an area to store cases

Question 10

Can you provide music and sound for cocktail/ceremony?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have sound and microphone packages for different locations, as well as cocktail hour musicians that we can add.

Question 11

How long are your sets?

Accepted Answer

For most clients, we recommend three sets of 45 minutes each, as this format tends to work best. However, we can accommodate additional sets or longer durations based on your event schedule.
We also offer dinner and cocktail music options to enhance your event.
Please note that if you only require the band for an hour, we still need to book them for the entire evening, as they won’t be available for other gigs that night. This means there is a minimum booking requirement.
Also with dinner and speeches and other event formalities we can structure our sets perfectly around your programming timeline.

Question 12

How do we book you?

Accepted Answer

To lock in the band for your event, we just need a 50% deposit and a signed performance contract.

Our musicians are in high demand and often work with Grammy-winning artists. Once you book with us, they’re dedicated solely to your event, as they can't take on other gigs. To make sure we deliver the best performance and respect everyone’s time, we only confirm bookings once we have the deposit and signed contract.

Saturdays are especially popular, and we can’t hold dates without these. To make sure you don’t miss out, especially if your event is on a Saturday, we recommend booking as soon as you can.

We’ve made the booking process a breeze! Once you’re ready to book, we’ll send you easy-to-follow instructions, a link to your performance agreement for a quick e-signature, and an invoice for the deposit payment. 😊

The remaining amount is due two weeks before your event.
