Photo of Four Lanes Wide Classic Rock Band Four Lanes Wide Classic Rock Band "I saw four Lanes Wide last night in Brighton and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them! I knew every single song they played. They covered a great variety of artists and played all hit songs. I especially liked the Canadian content. It would have been nice to hear a BTO or Guess Who song but they were great!" Based in Peterborough, Ontario 10th July 2026 Janet MacDonald - Concert n the park - Brighton, Ontario Photo of Cruisin Vocal Band Cruisin Vocal Band "In 2021, when Uxbridge Probus was able to finally get together again, we planned a Gala Christmas Luncheon in December, with "Cruisin" to be our entertainment for the celebration. They were so entertaining, and the feedback so great, we booked them for our Gala Christmas Luncheon in December 2022. Again "Cruisin" received an enthusiastic reception to their program of favourite music, instrumentation, personal patter and included some music to get us into the Christmas Spirit! The Social Committee of Uxbridge Probus has already booked "Cruisin" for our 2023 Christmas Luncheon! We're really excited to have them for a third time!! Gail V.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring dance bands typically costs between $320 and $6,000+, with an average of $1,900. The price depends on the number of musicians, set duration and the style of dance music. Dance bands vary from compact combos to large ensembles with horn sections, and the size of the line-up is the primary cost driver.

The dance bands for hire cover a wide range of popular dance music including pop, disco, funk, soul, Motown, rock and current chart hits. Most dance bands focus on well-known, uptempo songs designed to fill the dance floor at parties and celebrations.

Typical bookings for dance bands are two to three hours of live music, split into high-energy sets designed to keep guests on the dance floor. Short breaks between sets give the band and audience a chance to reset before the next round. It is worth discussing the event schedule with the band to plan the best format.

Most dance bands bring their own PA system, instruments and basic stage lighting. Some bands offer enhanced lighting packages as an optional extra. For larger venues, additional sound or lighting may be needed. It is advisable to confirm all technical requirements before booking.

Common events for dance bands include weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, proms and any celebration where getting guests dancing is a priority. A live dance band brings energy and interaction that a DJ or playlist cannot match.
