October 16, 2026INCREDIBLE BAND!!
We hired The Core for our company offsite event and they were great! So easy to coordinate with and plan, handled setup and breakdown without any assistance or questions for me, and played three great sets. Our team isn't usually big on dancing but they had everyone up on the dance floor and we received so many compliments on the band! A huge thank you to The Core!!
Hired as: Cover Band
