A: Of course!

Q: Do you have liability insurance?

Q: What does the client have to provide?

A: House parties always require a bit more logistics. We can play inside if your house is large enough. We ask for two separate power outlets of 20 AMPS each. We need solid ground and coverage from the elements (if outdoors). For our 7- piece band – a 16 x 12 or larger stage area is best. Our front-line performers work with in-ear monitors, so we don’t take up space with floor monitors. Thus, we pretty flexible. I will always ask to do a walk-through days before to ensure that the load in and set up goes smoothly. We will normally request a vendor meal to be served at least 45 minutes before we perform. 

Q: How many breaks do you normally take?

A: We build our breaks around the timeline for your event. Normally, we will need a short break after 60-90 minutes.

Q: Will the band learn special requests? Can I pick the music you play?

A: Yes! Don’t see your favorite song on our play list? Just ask! We gladly take requests.

Q: Do you provide a sound system or do I?

A: We are 100% self-contained and own our top of the line QSC PA System, two trees of professional LED lights. If needed, we also have a smaller, powered Mackie PA that we can use. We work with a full time sound man who will be there the entire night.

Q: What do you play during breaks?

A: Our sound man will play our iPod with your pre-selected break music.

Q: What is your price?

A: Since we are independently managed and we are not an agency, our prices are extremely reasonable. We offer various packages that can be customized with options to fit your ideas and your budget. Pricing is based on factors such as the number of hours requested for live music, the venue location, load in & set up logistics, number of guests, fuel & travel time,

Q: How do we book our date with you?

A: A signed contract from us with a 50% retainer will secure your date with us. The balance will be due two weeks before your event.

Q: Is it possible to meet you in person to discuss my event?
