As a party band, we have made it our priority to play the songs fans and clients want to hear! One look at our extensive song list and you will see that no style or genre is off limits. Our main unique feature is that each member of the band sings lead and harmony vocal. Because of this, we can add great variety and flare to the songs we play, often linking multiple song styles together into one nonstop set. Another unique feature is our ability to take and play request in real time at the performance, often interacting with the crowd to play the songs they want to hear. This dedication comes from our talented members, each having over 20+ years performing in professional working cover bands.
