Q. Why should an event professional book you?
I come from a card playing background. When I put this band together, I wanted to put together a band that I thought could go anywhere, anytime, and could play just about anything and play it well. A band you can’t beat. In cards, 5 of a kind is the best hand you can possibly have. Nothing beats it, and that’s how I feel about this group.

We understand what it takes to make an event unforgettable, and we understand how to adapt to whatever our role may be for an event. Whether we need to bring the energy and be the life of the party, or whether you need us to provide the perfect ambience for your event, we’ve got you covered.
