Exceeded our expectations!

We anticipated a "wedding band", we were blown away at how good they were. The lead singer sang his heart out. They even sang a special request song for me. The auctioneer went longer than anticipated so the band went on stage late but were nice enough to make up for it by staying late. They had the crowd on their feet the whole time. Honestly, can't say a bad thing. My only advice is to get new videos for Gig Salad they are not doing you guys justice. By the way, the band was great to coordinate the event with too!

About

The Wildside Band consists of seven performers playing your favorite cover tunes
from R&B, Funk, Rock, Reggae, Soul to Top 40. They all reside in San Diego, CA.
The original members -- Bizz Devers (Lead Vocalist) and Edward Asbill (Keyboardist) -- formed the group back in 2002, and in the last couple of years, have taken what has become a great show band to a new standard of high-energy, vibrant and polished musical performance.

Today’s lineup includes a collaborative dynamic team of high energy singers and musicians.
Their unique song selections cover a wide range of styles and talent, including such as artists as Teena Marie, Cameo, Bruno Mars, Rick James, Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Amy Winehouse, Drake, Justin Timberlake, The Gap Band, Michael Jackson, Selena, Santana, and
Prince – among many others. No matter how big or small an event may be, Wildside will always give you a spectacular show emphasizing any genre and for any occasion.

Performing in many venues throughout San Diego, Orange County, Las Vegas,
Arizona, and Palm Springs, Wildside has made a big impression, opening up for
many of their favorite artists. In 2013, they appeared at the Magic 92.5 Under the
Stars Concert, opening the show for Dazz Band, Lakeside, and Confunkshun. Then in late 2014, they were honored to open up at the Magic 92.5 Masters of Funk Concert for Zapp, One Way, SOS Band, and The Bar-Kays. In 2016, they opened up for R&B artists Jagged Edge and Ideal. These are some of the bands’ most memorable highlights of their careers.

The Wildside Band is your party band for any special occasion. Among our members, we have one common goal: to continue challenging ourselves to keep exploring more with our talents, and to put on the best possible show for our guests with great music.

We love to hear you cheering for more!
