Volume

Our goal is to enhance your special event, not to take over.  Our sound system is state of the art and the volume level is constantly monitored.  We are always amenable to lowering the volume at your request.   Some things to consider are: Low-volume background music is played during dinner.  Your guests will be able to carry on conversations and get acquainted at this time. The dance sets are played immediately following dinner in order to “get the party started.” These sets are more “high-energy” and will naturally be a little louder, but maintain a reasonable volume at all times.  Please note that it is always good practice to seat those with more sensitive hearing away from the band for more enjoyment.

Spatial Requirements

Our preferred stage is 12’ x 24’; however, we can adapt to many different venues from living rooms to ballrooms.  Let us know about your special needs and we can tailor our setup for you. 'Round Midnight Rider

Special Songs

Yes. In most cases we can learn one or two special songs. We ask that you consult our bandleader when you first choose those songs.  The earlier special requests are made, the more likely they are to be honored.

Breaks

We work closely with each client to integrate our breaks into their schedule with minimal disruption to the flow of events. That often means we take two(2) 25-minute breaks. If the event has a meal, one break occurs as the entree is served; the second is after the first dance set.

Break Music

We have a wide variety of music on CD and iPod. Our professionally mixed play lists fit most occasions.

Can I provide my own break music?

Yes. You should feel free to provide an iPod or custom CD.  If you want to provide your own music, give us two(2) separate playlists or discs that can be left unattended.  One should include light background music for the dinner break; the other should be up-tempo music to play between dance sets.

Who will serve as MC?

Our lead singer will serve as Master of Ceremonies throughout the evening.  With over twenty years of professional entertainment experience, our Master of Ceremonies will keep the festivities flowing with style and grace.

When do you arrive to set up?

We arrive three(3) hours before the start of the event.  That timeframe allows enough time to setup and perform a live sound check with the Band before guests enter the room.  If your event requires a quick setup, we are happy to accommodate that with advanced notice. A typical “quick setup” takes about one(1) hour.
