Perfect experience

I just had my wedding on 12/20/25, Sean and his band were amazing. They sounded so professional and perfect during our reception. Working with Sean leading up to our wedding was easy and he was always extremely responsive. I am so happy with how everything turned out I just can't recommend them enough. If I ever have another event that requires a live band I will immediately contact Sean again. We got nothing but compliments from our guests about the band. If you are reading this review and thinking about booking, just go ahead and book him ASAP.

Hired as: Jazz Band, Wedding Band

What to expect

I can provide anything from tasteful background jazz for corporate events, galas, cocktails hours and the like to a more energetic feature performance. Ensembles usually include drums and upright bass as well as either piano or guitar. Depending on the clients needs, horns or a singer can be added.

About

Sean Perlmutter is a drummer, bandleader, composer, and music educator living and working in the Detroit area. He began playing and teaching professionally at age 16 and moved to Detroit at age 18 to immerse himself in its rich musical tradition and attend Wayne State University where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Music with a Concentration in Jazz Studies. Perlmutter has a ravenous appetite as a listener, absorbing and drawing inspiration from music across genres and cultures . He works in an equally wide range of musical contexts, spanning from Early Jazz to Funk to Free Improvisation and beyond; striving to serve the music while also applying his personal, undulating rhythmic approach.

Additional booking notes

I can generally fit a band into most spaces, but we'll need access to two or three electrical outlets or a power strip.
