5/5 from 475 reviews

The Chemistry Band "I’ve seen a lot of live bands, and this one is something special. Chemistry's talent is undeniable, but what really stands out is the way they connect with the audience. From the moment they take the stage, they create an intimate vibe that makes every performance feel personal. Their blend of Neo-Soul and R&B is smooth, soulful, and full of energy. The musicianship is exceptional, the musical synergy is effortless, and their showmanship keeps you engaged from beginning to end. They don't just play great music—they create an experience that leaves you smiling, singing along, and wishing the night wasn't over. If you have the chance to see them live, don't miss it. They never disappoint, and they always deliver more than you expect." Based in Gainesville, Virginia (170 miles from Pittsburgh) 16th July 2026 Cheryl Harrison

THE "ORIGINAL" MOONLIGHTERS ® "We hired the Original Moonlighters for our wedding band, and they were absolutely fantastic! We had a large wedding, with a lot of guests that have different musical tastes, but this band was able to get everyone on the dance floor and brought amazing energy to the wedding. They had a wide set list and made our special day even more fun." Based in Washington D.C., District of Columbia (190 miles from Pittsburgh) Thomas B. - Wedding

Mondo Kane "Always makes me smile when I hear that Mondo Kane style!" Based in Detroit, Michigan (205 miles from Pittsburgh) Boogie Brian - 2023 Valentines Dance

Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations "Annette Wernert recommends Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations. We had a great time at your concert at Eastpointe City Hall! You are all very talented and gifted performers. Thank you for a wonderful evening!" Based in Detroit, Michigan (205 miles from Pittsburgh) Annette Wernert

Wilson Lambert's BLUE philly MAGIC "I had the opportunity to book Wilson Lambert's BLUE philly MAGIC for my daughter's wedding. I want to tell you. The experience was awesome and incredible at the same time. It was absolutely captivating to listen, dance, and outright enjoy this extremely professional act. It was the opportunity of a lifetime. Sincerely Adam." Based in Coatesville, Pennsylvania (222 miles from Pittsburgh) Adam Sheffield - Wedding

The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band "Perfect Jazz Band! Secured The Kensie Jazz Band for our 30th Anniversary corporate event. From start to finish they were perfect. Perfect background music while guests are engaging in the social circuit. Perfect background music while being seated and served for dinner. The band can adjust their sound level to your preference. They play a range of music. A live band is a classy touch and adds ambience to any event rather than a standard DJ. It is a completely different vibe. Nice group of people! Good pricing as well. Thank you!" Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (227 miles from Pittsburgh) Jenifer F. - Cocktail and Dinner Music
