Frequently Asked Questions...

How much does the band cost? How long do they play?
There are many different factors that determine the cost: size of the band, date, location, any requested material, length of time you would like the band to play, etc. Typically, the band will play four 45-minute sets with 15-minute breaks within a designated 4-hour time period. With prior arrangements, we would be happy to play longer -- whether it be more sets or longer sets.

Sound and Lights? Stage Requirements?
We have a professional sound system and lighting rig to cover most any venue. It is helpful if we know in advance if we are playing to 40 people or 4,000 so we can bring the appropriate system for the event. Unless other arrangements are made, the band will provide its own sound and lighting. However, the client must make arrangements with the venue for the stage and electrical requirements. As per our contract, we require 4 separate 20 amp circuits for the PA, lighting and stage instruments.

How long do they require to set up their equipment?
Depending on the venue, the band can set up, do a sound check and be ready to play in under 2 hours -- less if time is tight. Before we arrive, however, the room must be available, the correct size stage must be set and clear of any obstructions and all power needs (i.e. spider box) must be met. Some venues are more time consuming to get all the equipment into the room and elevators can get crowded (florists, catering, etc.). Therefore, it is best to let us know what time your guests will be arriving, so we can get in and set up prior to the doors opening for the guests.

Will they be dressed appropriately?
The band will always be dressed in a manner suitable for the event. In most cases, we wear in black suits. Of course, many outdoor events are more casual (khakis, short sleeves)...just let us know and we will dress accordingly.

What about the volume?
The speakers may be big but that doesn't mean they have to be loud (unless you ask for it loud!). We will bring an appropriately sized sound system and run it accordingly. We understand that your guests want to talk during dinner and that when it is time to dance, you want to feel the beat. If at any time you feel that the volume should come up or down, please let the band leader know and it will be adjusted.

Background / break music?
During our breaks, we will play appropriate music on cd. If you would like to provide your own music for the breaks, please make bring an iPod, burn a cd or choose one or two good compilations.

Where can I see the band?
We primarily play private events. If any of our bands plays an event open to the public, it will be posted on our
home page.
