What to expect

When you hire us, you get a band that starts when they’re supposed to. Your crowd will have a great time dancing and singing to songs they love. We play hits that most other people don’t, and we take requests. That last one is always hard to do, but if we’ve heard the song a time or two, we can generally pull it off.

About

The Jaded Monkeys offer arrangements to fit nearly any occasion. From solo to full band, from cocktail hour to receiption, we have got you covered! If you like something a little different, we might just be what you’ve been searching for.

Additional booking notes

We provide our own sound system, unless you have a house system. We have basic lighting, enough for stage and the main dance floor. A stage is nice, but we have made due in a parking lot before.
