Destination Weddings, Live Music. An American Swing Band.

Wherever we go, we keep hearing that there is nothing like us anywhere anymore.

We know a LOT of music, and we play it all very, very well. But we do so much more than just show up and play some music.

We believe that the client comes first. And we'll move heaven and earth to give our clients the event of a lifetime. What makes us different from other bands and orchestras is that we care more about our customers than we do about making a sale. I'm not sure this kind of customer care will translate onto the Internet, but I hope it will. If the client asks for something that will not work, I try to educate them about what WILL work. I spend a lot of time with my clients.

Hiring A Wedding Coordinator? Ask A Bandleader

Band in a box?

Boxing your band in?

Coordinator keeps grabbing the microphone to make announcements?

DJ takes over and everyone runs out the door?

Tsk.

Live Music for Weddings & Events: Ask A Bandleader!

When it comes to great performances, phrasing is everything. It's what makes Tony Bennett so delightful, and Frank Sinatra had it in spades. So did Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and others from their generation, mostly gone now.
