What to expect
The Sterling Silver Band will get you up to dance with a super variety of songs and styles ranging from The Beatles to ZZ Top, Patsy Cline to Linda Ronstadt, Creedence Clearwater Revival to Pink Floyd, and lots more. Since we bring our own PA and lights we can provide sound and lighting for your event too. We use tracks to provide a full, classic band sound, and we've designed our stage show to be as quiet or loud as you need. You can also hire us as an acoustic trio if that's more like the vibe you want.
