Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We require a suitable performance space for a full live band setup, accessible power outlets, and a sound system. A sound check is required before the performance, with arrangements coordinated in advance. We also need convenient parking for our large van and 6x12 trailer.


What information do you require about a venue?

Please provide the venue's full address, directions to the performance area, and details about the equipment load-in route. Let us know about stairs, elevators, loading access, parking arrangements, and any sound restrictions or noise limiters. Advance coordination of the sound check is also required.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Sound arrangements can be made using either the venue's sound system or the band's own system. A sound check must be scheduled in advance. Specific PA and lighting requirements can be discussed during the booking process.


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

Yes! We're happy to provide background music through Spotify before, after, and between our sets. We can select the music ourselves or follow the client's preferred playlist and music choices.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

One of our most memorable gig experience is the opportunity to serve as the house band for a major NFL team. Getting to bring our music and energy to an NFL crowd was an incredible experience.


What's your favourite type of event?

We love performing at festivals, concerts, and large-scale events where we can connect with a big crowd and get everyone involved. We also enjoy weddings and private events because there's something special about being part of such an important celebration. No matter the occasion, we bring the same high-energy performance and aim to make it a night people won't forget.


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

First To Eleven started in Erie, Pennsylvania, in 2009. What began as a group of musicians sharing their passion for music grew into a full-time band with a global audience. We've built a following through our creative covers, mashups, and energetic music videos, reaching more than 2 million YouTube subscribers. Over the years, we've performed at venues, festivals, private events, and major events across the country. We also release original music through our separate project, Concrete Castles.


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

Our sound draws inspiration from a wide range of rock, pop-punk, alternative, and pop artists. We love artists and bands that bring strong musicianship, memorable melodies, powerful vocals, and an unmistakable energy to their music. Since we all have different musical influences and personal favorites, it's hard to choose just one artist. As for the greatest song of all time, that's a tough one, but we'd say a truly great song is one that people can sing along to, connect with, and enjoy no matter how many times they hear it.


What makes First To Eleven different from other cover bands?

First To Eleven combines powerful vocals, skilled musicianship, creative arrangements, and high-energy performances. With more than 2 million YouTube subscribers and an international audience, we bring the excitement of our online music content to the live stage.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We typically arrive a few hours before the performance to allow enough time for load-in, setup, and soundcheck. Performance times depend on the event and booking agreement. We can accommodate different set lengths, with the schedule and any breaks coordinated with the client ahead of time.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes! We're happy to perform outdoors. We just ask that the performance area has a flat, stable surface, adequate weather protection or shade, and access to suitable power. We also recommend having a backup plan in case of rain or severe weather.


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

We perform from a prepared setlist featuring a wide range of popular rock, pop, and alternative covers. While we're happy to discuss musical preferences ahead of time, our setlist is planned in advance, and we aren't able to take on-site song requests during the performance. This allows us to keep the show flowing and deliver the best possible experience.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Clients and audiences can expect a high-energy, engaging performance filled with powerful vocals, driving guitars, hard-hitting drums, and creative arrangements. We aim to keep the crowd entertained, create an exciting atmosphere, and make every event memorable.


How far are you willing to travel for an event?

We're based in Erie, Pennsylvania, and are available for bookings throughout the United States and internationally. Travel arrangements and related expenses are discussed during the booking process.


How far in advance should we book First To Eleven?

We recommend reaching out as early as possible, especially for weddings, festivals, and popular event dates. Availability depends on our touring and performance schedule, so contacting us early gives us the best chance to accommodate your event.


Can we request songs for our event?

We perform from a prepared setlist featuring popular rock, pop, and alternative covers. Clients can share their musical preferences ahead of time, but we don't take on-site song requests during performances.


What information do you need to provide a booking quote?

To prepare an accurate quote, please share your event date, venue location, event type, requested performance time and duration, expected audience size, and any available sound or production arrangements. We'll review the details and discuss availability and pricing.


Do you provide sound equipment?

Sound arrangements depend on the event and venue. We can coordinate with the venue regarding its available sound system or discuss bringing our own equipment. Technical requirements should be confirmed before the event.
