Overview
The crowd pleasing Hook Me Up has been Wowing audiences since 2005 performing for hundreds of weddings, festivals/fairs, corporate events, and nightclubs. We perform a w-i-d-e variety of listenable and danceable jazz/latin/funk/R&B/soul/R&R/TV and movie themes and a few things you would expect to hear from a quartet.
We travel with our own P.A. and use recorded music on our breaks so the music never stops. In fact you're welcome to use our P.A. to address your guests for toasts, announcements, or any reason. Hook Me Up can be either the quiet "backround" music as your guests arrive or a hip shakin' dance machine to get people up and groovin' or, as we're often asked to do, both!

January 31, 2020Highlight of the party!
We hired Hook Me Up to perform at our annual company holiday party. They party was Roaring 20's themed and they played a great mix of music for the theme and modern jazz! They kept the party going all night and got people up and dancing. I would highly recommend the group for parties. We would definitely book again! Thanks, Hook Me Up!

December 16, 2019Talented, Friendly, Festive
Hook Me Up played for my corporation's holiday party. They did a great job of playing a combination of jazz standards and holiday music. The group was very professional, responded quickly over email and showed up on time and played tirelessly for 4 hours with only a handful of breaks. All of the guests felt they were the highlight of the event.

June 28, 2018Highly talented group of jazz musicians!
Our wedding reception was at Ray's in Ballard on the water and this jazz band was the perfect complement for that setting. They performed during dinner with amazing background music; after dinner they cranked it up a few notches for dancing! All of the guests commented how much they loved the music. I highly recommend Hook Me Up for a wedding reception or any type of event!

What to expect
What audiences love about the Hook Me Up band is the wide variety of musical styles. Instead of blues, or latin, or R&R, or country all night long the HMU listener is treated fast paced and professional presentation of memorable hits from a few years ago to decades ago. We might start the evening soft and mellow with a tune like The Girl From Impanema by Jobim and a few tunes like it, then transition into something a little more lively like Give it All You Got by Chuck Mangione and then funk things up Cantelope Island by Herbie Hancock and then hit you harder with something like Carry on my Wayward Son by Kansas then slowing right down again by softly performing a beautiful arrangement of Alouette, a time honored French composition in a jazzy style. Of course if you desire dancing we can certainly lean in that direction and/or if you desire simply good music performed by top shelf musicians we can certainly do that too. Your choice!

Additional booking notes
