November 11, 2020Nu Standard did a great job providing music at my wedding. It was a small wedding in Covid times, but they really kept the party going! I am so thankful that they were there to help us celebrate our special day.

September 25, 2019We had the pleasure of having Derrick and the Nu Standard band for our wedding. I must say, they turned our wedding into the best party we've ever attended. Immediately, the whole crowd started dancing. Their energy was amazing and all our guests loved it. They are the highest caliber musicians; able to improvise and jam to any song in any key. I recommend Nu Standard band without hesitation!!
