Someone attending an "Alt Ed' show should expect to be surprised. We do things in a way no other band does. An accapella breakdown in a Lady Gaga song? We got that. Hearing a club classic like "Yeah" by Usher popping up in the middle of a Michael Jackson song? We got that! Seamlessly transitioning between 7 different songs to make a nearly 20 minute long super medley? You know we got it! We are all musicians at our core, so we don't just pull songs off the radio and play them verbatim. We take those songs you know and put our own spin on them. We like to think that we make them better!
We are a group of 5 college friends who separated after graduation only to have the musical god bring us back together again. We are a band where you never know who the "lead" singer is on a particular tune. We pass the vocals around like the Harlem Globe Trotters pass the ball (we don't bring a bucket of confetti though...) With Mark on keys, Greg and Brandon on guitar, Drew on bass and Scott on drums, we will surprise you, putting together songs you would never think belong together. 4 of the 5 of us were music majors in college and we lend a certain higher level musicality to modern pop songs that you don't hear often. We keep the energy up the entire time we're on stage. Our main goal while playing is to ensure that everyone in the venue is having a blast!
We are a full service band. We can provide our own professional audio and lighting rig with equipment from companies such as Midas, EV, Allen & Heath, Shure, Chauvet and more.
We can tailor our sets to your demographic. A family friendly event? Well you won't hear one curse out of us! A room full of Baby-Boomers? We can play more of the songs of that time. A group of teenager girls? Well, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus it is!
