Build Your Band

Start With The Core. Grow Loud.

  1. The Core

    Two lead vocals with keys, guitar, bass, and drums. Six pieces, and the floor is already moving.

  2. Add The Sax

    The classic seven: dual vocals, keys, guitar, bass, drums, and sax riding over the top.

  3. The Horn Section

    Sax and trumpet together turn every chorus into an event. Eight pieces, built for big rooms.

  4. The Twelve

    Twelve pieces. Dual lead vocals out front with featured vocalists behind them, a full horn section, and a rhythm section with room to move.

  5. The Fifteen

    Fifteen pieces. The full show, built out for ballrooms that can carry it.

These are packages we have played, ready to go as listed. Any of them can be built up, stripped back, or rearranged for your room. Tell us the room and the crowd and we will build the band for it.

The Band

The same roster of working New York musicians every time, fronted by Emily, playing together week in and week out.

A live band watches your floor and stretches the chorus when the room is singing. Motown for the grandparents, current pop for the college table.

One of our favorite nights: a father of the bride stepped up and sang with the band at his daughter’s wedding. The whole room was living in a memory.

Bring us the song that matters. If it is not in the book, we learn it properly.

“Some of our song requests were outside of the usual wedding band rep, but they learned them and slayed, especially our first dance song. They also accommodated all of our special requests: my father wanting to sing with the band.”

Quick Answers

What comes included?

A professional sound system sized to your room, wireless microphones for toasts and speeches, and MC and announcement services. Included with every booking, not add-ons.

Is the lineup the same band we see in your videos?

The roster is the same working New York musicians every time, fronted by Emily. The count scales to your room; the people and the standard do not rotate with the seasons.

Can you learn songs that are not in your repertoire?

Yes. Must-play songs get learned and arranged properly, not sight-read.

How does pricing work for a band?

Custom, always. The lineup, the date, and the room set the number. What we quote is what it costs: no teaser rate that grows later.

Do you know our venue?

If we have not played it, we scout it: a call with your venue coordinator, load-in and power handled before the day, from freight-elevator lofts to hundred-year-old ballrooms.
