Sly Band Demo 2:500:00/2:50
Weddings Corporate Events and Private Parties
Many people book bands all the time whether it be for corporate events, private events, or weddings. On the other hand, most people might only book a band once in a lifetime. Let us work with you to plan out the perfect event, it will cost you nothing. We can help with everything from venue selection, lighting, first dances, itinerary, and cocktail hour. We have many different show options available, the entire night is customizable to fit your preference. It's never too early to book your entertainment. It's all about what is important to you. Don't let someone force you into booking a great venue and then find out that all the good bands and venders aren't available. Decide what tops YOUR party list and book them first!
Don't be afraid to think outside of the box when choosing a venue. Many farms and vineyards are budget friendly and have a lot of character to offer that can't be matched by the downtown hotspots. As an added bonus sometimes they will even let you choose your own catering company as opposed to being stuck with the venues in house company. This is a good way for you to be in control over your spending and food options.
Downtown venues are awesome and many offer that historic look not found in the suburban places. Suburban venues are usually more modern and often times you don't have to worry about paying to park, or having the air conditioning going out in the middle of a show.
Planning is key, and we are more than happy to work with you on this. If you're unorganized, photographers will be scrambling to take pictures of special dances or searching for party members for photo opportunities. Nothing sets up a successful night like having a great detailed itinerary, your planner will have one and we will have one as well. Once your itinerary is set you will feel a weight off your shoulder and be able to actually enjoy the evening! Allow us to emcee the night and cover all of your announcements at no extra charge.
Our Day
Our day starts early, we are always set up and ready to go before your guests arrive. We will DJ some light music so as people walk in there is something is going on. We never want silence unless it is for speeches, announcements, or prayers. After guests arrive we are happy to offer a small group to play cocktail hour.
During cocktail hour we will hit many classics from Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, The Beatles, John Mayer, and other similar artists. Volume is always kept at the perfect level so your guests can tune in if they want, or just talk among themselves. Want a little more for cocktail hour? Hire the full band, or choose between a solo, duo, trio.
We are always happy to emcee your event at no extra cost to you, and anytime the band is not playing we provide DJ services.
Typically we DJ a dinner set then perform a 3 hour nonstop dance set set. However we are very flexible and have no problem going with the traditional 4 hour night providing DJ services on band breaks.

Our Music
Our setlist is always changing slightly, some classic songs people always want to hear so they will remain in our set year after year. While a summer smash might be popular for a year, it might not be such a smash the next. Maybe it's true that they don't make em like they used too! We are always willing to run over a setlist with the client, songs can be added or removed, or more of a "specific genre" can be added. Our typical set starts out with songs for the entire family, Motown seems to go over great at the beginning of the night along with a Sinatra song or two. As the party picks up, we keep the energy going with dance hits medlied together. Many of our songs are mashed up the way a DJ would mix a set, we play a familiar song, keep the music going, then sing another song over top of it. Its a great way to keep the crowd on their feet.
Crowd interaction is extremely important, the crowd is always part of the show! We constantly get everyone involved and hyped up. Since we play LIVE and never to a karaoke track, we can extend or shorten songs as needed.
Eventually it's time to slow things down for a song or two and let the couples fill the dance floor. We always throw in a couple slow songs here and there but the major focus is keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed.
By the end of the night everyone is on the floor singing along. (or at least singing the chorus and mumbling through verses) This is a great time to work the crowd and go out with bang! We never let a party just fizzle out, we always want to give them something to remember!
Every show is slightly different, it starts with our memorized set, then it's tweaked to your personal preference. It is literally your PERSONAL CONCERT Call us today, let's talk about your ideas and plan the perfect event that will be remembered for years to come!
