Live music for corporate events
Background jazz for client mixers and dinners, and a high-energy band for galas and holiday parties. Our musicians show up early, dress for the room, and bring their own sound system.
Moment by moment
What to book for each part
Client mixer
First impressions
Sophisticated enough to signal taste, never loud enough to compete with the conversation that matters.
Try: Jazz Atlas · Le Pumpe
Holiday party
A real celebration
Smooth soul to get people dancing, or jazzy holiday arrangements that feel festive without being cheesy.
Gala or awards dinner
Think in phases
Jazz for cocktails and dinner, then a party band once the program ends. The change in music tells guests the formal part is over.
Try: Jazz Atlas · Good Trouble · Motown Throwdown
Outdoor or launch event
Festival energy
Acoustic gypsy swing on a lawn, a brass band or the V-Tones for a grand opening, or R&B on a rooftop.
Try: Le Pumpe · Saltwater Brass · The V-Tones
