Accent

You can expect a group of musicians/singers who are prepared and professional; who love their job and have a lot of fun at it. We dress well, don't drink or drug, show up on time and sound really good. We learn new songs every month so our set list is always fresh. Most of us have some grey going on but that to us means experience. We've been doing this for a long time and we're pretty good at it. And we want you to have fun with us. That's when it's a real party!

I'm Jack Leyden, the bandleader. I play guitar and sing. I play a lot of acoustic guitar for wedding ceremonies and Beach parties. The mellow stuff includes artists like James Taylor, Jason Mraz, Train, The Beatles, Van Morrison, Elton John, Neil Young, Dave Matthews. The Beach set includes Kenny Chesne, Zac Brown, Bob Marley, Jimmy Buffett, Billy Currington, Keith Urban Paul Simon Jack Johnson. Because my drums and Bass are part of my sound system, the overall sound is much more like a small band when I'm on my own. This doesn't mean that it gets louder. The sound gets fuller. When clients ask me to be a bigger act than my solo show, my second piece is Terry Sanger, who is very well known in New England as one of the best tenor sax players in the area. He also sings incredible well. His songlist includes, Bruno Mars, One Republic, Robin Thicke, Tom Petty, The Four Tops, Rascall Flatts, Sublime. Then I can add some female songs to your party with our Female Vocalist, Oriana Camish. She sings a wide variety, ranging from country to jazz. Some of her favorites include Sugarland, Linda Rondstadt, Colby Calliat, Etta James, Lady Gaga, Norah Jones and she rocks Meghan Trainor. We grow to a fourth piece with Tony Bailey. Also an electric guitarist, he is one of the best singers in the area. He tears up Earth Wind and Fire, Cee Lo, Lionel Ritchie, Tupac, Michael Jackson. And the 5 piece band is capped off by an amazing trumpet player by the name of Johnny Bluehorn. John sings his butt off with some old school favs. Georgia, Dock of the bay, Temptations, Commodores, Joe Cocker, Queen and Hall n Oates. But John really shines when he's blowing the horn and there are a lot of songs that when Tony, Oriana and I are singing 3 part harmony, John and Terry are playing horn line harmonies behind us. Its a very strong band.
We have a fairly small footprint and the 5 piece band can fit in a lot of places that you wouldn't think a band could fit. We also use state of the art equipment and our sound system, while not being imposing at all, produces an amazing clear beautiful sound. Because we are in the business of helping people have a good time, we realize that communication is very important for you and your guests. We're never too loud during dinner though we do crank it up for dancing. Our goal is always to help you and your guests have a memorable time. We're extremely easy to work with and we want you to hear us play what you want. Not what we want. If you want to choose songs from our play-list, feel free. We want you to be happy.

Our footprint is very small considering how much music we can put out. We carry very efficient QSC speakers and two sets of lights. Our mixing board is small and digital and we have "scenes" stored in the internal memory so we don't even require a soundcheck. For an outdoor event, we ask for a dedicated 20 amp circuit. As long as nothing else is on it, we should never have any electrical issues. An 8x8 stage is enough for us
