Here are some of the advantages of our band:
We strive to honor the sound and feel of the original recordings that you know and love.
Our dynamic performance is 100% live. (We do not use a laptop to play recorded "tracks".) We use multiple live instruments to cover piano, organ, strings, modern keyboard sounds, horns, and of course, guitar.
Live horns help to add variety and realistic renditions of many styles, especially Frank Sinatra, Motown, soul and disco.
In addition to 3 male vocalists, we have a female singer, allowing us to cover songs that all-male bands do not perform. And we do great vocal harmonies.
Our sound system is adjusted for clarity, so that guests can understand the lyrics being sung.
We adjust volume so that your guests can visit with each other without shouting.
We balance “party” songs with more romantic songs, to encourage couples to get on the dance floor.
We have been together as a group for over 20 years.
Here is what some of our repeat clients have to say about the band:

We play music from over 100 different artists
Even if some of your guests are not big dancers,
they will hear SOMETHING that they can dance to,
and the rest of the night, they will enjoy listening.
We focus on music, not a show.
No gimmicks, no impersonations, no costumes, no karaoke tracks, no crazy hair. Just good music.
When people are on the dance floor having a good time, they are watching each other, not the band.
We have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to entertain great audiences for over 20 years !
