Amazing at our Wedding!

We recently hired CWC to play at our outdoor wedding reception and they absolutely blew us away! Choosing a live band over a traditional DJ felt a bit risky, but they exceeded our expectations in every way.

CWC got everyone on the dance floor, creating a really fun atmosphere. We received so many compliments regarding CWC and their performance. Their ability to seamlessly blend genres—from alternative to pop—meant that there was something for everyone. We loved seeing our friends and family let loose and dance the night away.

We were also impressed with how responsive they were throughout the planning process. They listened to our preferences, were very organized, and crafted a setlist that perfectly matched our vision (including custom first dance songs).

If you’re considering a band for your event, I can't recommend CWC highly enough. They made our wedding unforgettable!

Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Band

Cold Weather Company was an incredible way to open our wedding celebration, playing during arrival, our entrance, and the celebration cocktail hour afterward. They were extremely communicative and very responsive throughout the entire process, and they’re three genuinely nice guys we got to know at their show in NYC during the process of working with them. They had a huge list of songs to choose from, and even learned a few others including our first dance. They were able to flex a little during the ceremony, as guests arrived earlier than expected. Everything was a hit and people keep talking about them. We can’t thank them enough and wish them future success as a band. Would recommend them to play for anyone!!

Best of the Best for Obscure Indie

Cold Weather Company really will exceed all of your live music expectations. My wife and I knew we wanted live music incorporated into our ceremony and cocktail hour. However, finding the vocals and musicality that we were into was rather difficult! Then there was CWC!

Not only did they meet our budget but they were excellent communicators with their availability as it came closer to booking them and signing official contracts. As huge music lovers, we wanted to give them the chance to showcase their music but they were incredibly accommodating squeezing in some great covers...even learning a very specific arrangement of Mt Joy - Silver Lining for us.

So completely professional and great to chat music with as an added bonus! Thanks, CWC!

Amazing!

Working as a wedding planner, I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Cold Weather Band, and I must say, they were exceptional.
Their communication with the bride and groom was top-notch, ensuring the music was perfectly tailored to their preferences. The band effortlessly adapted to multiple locations throughout the event, making setup a breeze.
Most importantly, the music was fantastic. Cold Weather Band flawlessly incorporated the couple's requests into their performance, creating an unforgettable musical experience. They were not just musicians but also brought an infectious energy to the celebration.

With their professionalism, adaptability, and incredible music, they made the day truly magical. Highly recommended!

Wedding Band

CWC traveled to our rural wedding in upstate New York and were fantastic. They played beautifully, chose a great mix of covers and originals, coordinated with the venue themselves for hookups, played for longer than we had booked, learned a couple song requests from us and were able to play many audience requests as well. They made our wedding an unforgettable evening and I cannot recommend them enough.

Excellent band!

Cold Weather Company was the perfect fit for my awards ceremony event! Not only did we love their unique sound, but they were great throughout the entire booking process. Accommodating to our needs by catering their music to fit the event style incorporating instrumental and vocals. In addition, they were great to work with being very communicative throughout and we really appreciated their interest in our events theme. All in all it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend them. I hope to use them again for future events!

Excellent Band!

Cold Weather Company is an excellent band! We hired them for our downtown music series and received rave reviews. They're fun to listen to and engage well with the audience. Some people came specifically to hear them after discovering them on Spotify! They're also very professional and easy to deal with. Highly recommend!

Loved CWC!

Cold Weather Company were an amazing addition to our event. Steve, Brian, and Jeff exceeded all expectations with original songs + covers! They have a unique sound, where Mumford and Sons meets Bon Iver. Perfect choice if you are looking for an Indie/Folk band, who put their twist on anything from The Beatles to Vance Joy. Already booked them again! Thank you, CWC!

The next small big band!

We’ve known Cold Weather Company for as long as we can remember. From the first time we heard their music, we knew they were special. They make music that touches your soul and the greatest part about it is that it’s for everyone. Don’t let the name fool you, you can listen to their music all year round!

The best!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Cold Weather Company! Steve was my primary contact and he responded to every email promptly. He answered yes to all requests. The band arrived on time and agreed to stay for a late night acoustic set. They were consummate professionals. The music is why we chose the band, and it was amazing & beautiful to hear live. They were the perfect blend of background music that you really want to stop your conversation to listen to, however their cover of Let It Be was so moving, it silenced the room. We could not have chosen better for our fundraiser, all 150 guests were entertained! We are still hearing rave reviews.

What to Expect

When working with CWC, you can expect an organized, considerate approach to booking your event. Logistical questions (sound, travel, payments) are answered quickly and efficiently, and we encourage you to ask about the types of songs we perform, including if you have any favorite cover songs that you would like to be a part of our performance.

About

Steadily building their artistic style and audience both along the East Coast and online for the past nine years, New Jersey-based alternative folk band Cold Weather Company carries a diverse sound, rich with harmonies and instrumental builds.

Incorporating elements of more classic artists like Crosby, Stills, & Nash and The Beatles along with modern bands like Mumford & Sons, The Avett Brothers, Dave Matthews, and Coldplay, the band combines the various writing approaches and influences of its three members, Brian Curry, Jeff Petescia, and Steve Shimchick, to create something extremely unique and entertaining.

Don't let the name fool you, with 60+ engaging originals and dozens of covers*, Cold Weather Company is a perfect fit for all seasons and a wide variety of occasions.

*You can scroll down to view CWC's cover list, the band is happy to prepare requested covers for a performance as well.

Additional Booking Notes

For most performances, we are a three piece consisting of three vocals, two acoustic guitars, and a piano. For a stripped down (without a sound system) performance, we would just require an electrical outlet for a piano/small guitar amps.

Our larger performances utilize our PA system (including vocal mics). We also work with a variety of talented string/horn/percussion players for more expansive performances. Please feel free to ask about that type of performance, as our initial quotes are generally just for a three piece.

Due to our flexible sound and technical requirements, we can play an intimate living room to a full stage without any loss of quality - it just depends on the type of show you're looking for!
