Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Specific events/venues may require additional accommodations but we request that sufficient power is available near our set up location, and ample accessibility to get our equipment from our vehicles to the performance location. We typically request a 10x10 performance space, with ample power accessibility & parking.


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Certainly the biggest event was playing for the Bucks team at the Fiserv Forum here in Milwaukee, WI & opened for the Fray. Some honorable mentions include Turner Hall, the Marcus Theater Stage, and Summerfest stages.


What's your favourite type of event?

We love events from public to private, groovy to intimate and everything/everywhere in-between. We do however gravitate towards the super groovy & speakeasy places with crowds that love to hang out with us!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Most of the band has been pursuing music to varying degrees, and have formed after connecting in different places here in Milwaukee! We're all friends off and on the clock, which is certainly apparent when on stage!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We all have different origins and influences which when melded together for a show, makes our sound super dynamic!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Depending on the event and size of band requested, setup is between 30 minutes (Solo/Duo Option) and up to 60 minutes (Full Band/All Equipment). Performance time is typically a minimum of 1 Hour and really no limit to play times. (Breaks included on rotation)


Are you happy to perform outside?

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 3 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them. We're professional "room readers" and can get people moving, grooving or keeping it low-key depending on what you need.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

We have a ton of reviews online, but most would say we're a perfect mix of soul, jazz & R&B!


Can I mix & match packages?

Yes! often times we will combine 2 band configurations (such as 1 hour Jazz Duo + 3 hour Jazz Quartet or 2 hour instrument solo + 2 hour Jazz Trio) depending on your vision & budget.


How far will the band travel? Are travel costs included in my quote?

As far as you need! Travel costs are included in our options within 100 miles of our home base in Milwaukee, WI. Feel free to inquire further for destination weddings or events.


What payment methods are available to me?

We accept most any method of payment, but our most common payment method is through Booklive or check. Booklive is a secure portal that handles all things music for your event.


What kind of music do we play?

We’re a Jazz Band first & foremost, but we often branch out to other genres including Pop, R&B, Blues and even a touch of country depending on the event!


What will the band need from us?

A dry, clean & level space to play! Outside events require covering & we cannot play in adverse or extreme weather unless we are protected from the elements. Food also keeps us moving throughout the night!


Does the band provide a sound system?

Yes we do! We handle all things sound and can even hook you up with wireless mics so your speeches & vows can be heard. We also have some mobile sound capabilities so even if your event does not have access to power, we will still be able to play!


Can I pick & request music?

Yes! With ample time to learn songs, we can add up to 3 songs free of charge. You can also pick from our extensive library with over 100 songs! During our consultation call, we help to curate the setlist to fit your vision and will advise on any musical questions or concerns as we go throughout the planning process!


Do we play same sex weddings & events?

Of course! We play all weddings & events, regardless of orientation. We encourage you to reach out with any additional questions or information!
