The "Contact Us" form here on our website is the most reliable way to ensure that we see your message as quickly as possible. You can also call or text us at (865) 236-0597. 

Emails and DMs on social media can be unreliable, although we do check our messages regularly.


Booking The Band

We are an experienced, unique, and dependable band with an impeccable track record of client satisfaction. We communicate with our clients and listen to their needs in order to bring a personalized experience and high-end musical entertainment to each event. We maintain communication to assist with any details all the way up to your event.


If we do not have a show on our calendar on the date of your event, please reach out to us! Be aware that the band may be unavailable even if we do not have a listed show on said date.


Most events book 8-15 months out, with Fridays and Saturdays requiring the most time due to demand. If your date is a special date or a holiday, please reach out as early as possible.

Even if your event is happening sooner than what is outlined above, please let us know and we will work with you to find available options.


If we are available for the date of your event, we will discuss pertinent details with you to tailor all services and entertainment for your event. Once we have agreed to terms, we will send you a basic contract. You will then sign and return it to us along with a date reservation fee paid up front, via a check or online payment. The remaining balance should be paid 30 days in advance of the event.

Once we have locked in the date, we will maintain communication with you or your event planner to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible.


Yes. While we built a show with private event and wedding entertainment in mind, we love to perform regular public shows and connect with our regional community.


Please contact us directly for custom itemized quotes. We have acoustic duo and other ensemble packages from $600+, with our primary full band packages ranging from $1,500-$4,000+. As a general guideline, in the current market, expect to pay $300 per musician minimum for all private events with additional fees for the band to supply backline, a sound system, and/or lighting as needed.


Preparing For Your Event

Yes. To help our potential clients get a feel for what we can offer, we have a master song list posted on our website under the "Song List" tab.

Please keep in mind this is neither a set list nor the order in which we perform songs.

Additionally, please understand that as this is a very large list, the band may not be able to perform every single song on the spot without prior notice. Some songs may require a refresher rehearsal as we are always rotating songs in and out of our show, so advance notice is required to ensure accommodation of any song requests.


Yes. We can accommodate most song requests made in-advance even if they are not on our song list. Clients are also welcome to review our song list and make requests from that. We welcome clients to pick 6 songs from our list that they would love to have played, and 6 songs they'd rather not have played. We also take some requests from the audience on-the-spot during certain points in our show.


We strive to make our show sound phenomenal while keeping the volume as inoffensive as possible. With a full band with drums, a certain volume level should be expected. If you have concerns that the venue may be too small or loud for a full band, we offer a variety of acoustic and other band services that do not include drums.


Yes. The band brings instruments and sound equipment for most weddings and events, covering up to several hundred guests. For larger events, additional sound support can be arranged for a fee or through a vendor you provide. We do not provide a stage.


The band can provide stage lighting for the performance area and some lighting for the dance floor, but this isn’t decor lighting for the whole space. You may need another vendor if your venue requires additional lighting. If you are working with a separate lighting vendor, the band can skip bringing lights.


We keep in contact with as many vendors that we have worked with as possible. We also have an extensive musician network and can handle all music needs for any event. Please ask directly for any recommendations.


The band will wear appropriate attire for your event based on your own guidance and outlines. For private events or weddings, men will generally wear suits or slacks with collared shirts, while our vocalist has a range of formal or evening wear.


Logistics and Requirements

We typically need a performance area of about 12 by 20 feet. We also need access to dedicated electrical outlets near the stage. Your venue manager can help confirm the space and power setup. 


A stage isn’t required, but is highly preferred as it can enhance visibility, especially for larger events. A stage area should ideally be about 1-2 feet high and meet the space requirements for the band. If no stage is used, a flat, stable surface is sufficient. 


For outdoor events, it’s essential to have a backup plan, such as a tent or an indoor location. Our band cannot perform in direct sunlight, rain, or on unstable surfaces for safety and equipment reasons.


We generally require 90 minutes to set up and conduct a sound check, with more time being preferred to ensure everything goes smoothly. Breakdown after the performance usually takes 45-60 minutes. If your event requires quicker setup or breakdown, let the band know when you connect so they can plan accordingly. 


This depends on the event, but generally yes, providing a meal is important. We often travel to your event and can’t afford to lose setup or performance time searching for food. We request an on-site hot meal, though it doesn’t have to be the same as your guests’. Many venues or caterers offer less expensive vendor meal options. A well-balanced, nutritious meal is preferred; please avoid pizza or fast food. Most bands prefer to eat before their performance or during their first break. You can discuss meal timing and any dietary restrictions directly with the band. If an on-site meal isn’t possible, a meal buyout of $30 per person can be arranged. 


This can depend on the event and location. If possible, we often request a private space for changing and resting before the performance. This doesn’t need to be elaborate—a clean, private room with access to restrooms is sufficient. If possible, dressing room requirements will be outlined in the band’s rider, which will be shared as part of your contract. 


Yes. We require convenient parking for our vehicles as well as a designated load-in zone. If parking is limited or paid, the event host is responsible for covering any fees. Specific details can be addressed when coordinating with us. 


Payments, contracts, and insurance

Final payment is due 30 days before your event. Please contact us for payment assistance.


Gratuities are not included in the band’s fee but are always appreciated for exceptional performances. A typical gratuity ranges from $25-$50 per band member or 10-20% of the total fee. 


Yes. We carry a liability insurance policy for live events and can produce proof of insurance by request.


If you need to cancel or reschedule, contact us as soon as possible. Cancellation terms are outlined in your contract and depend on how close the event date is. 


We require a date reservation fee at the time of booking to hold your date on our calendar.
