Repertoire

Six sets, and everything they’re built from.

A long song list proves range. It doesn’t tell you what to do with it. So this page starts with the six shapes a night takes — what plays while guests arrive, what sits under dinner, what fills a floor — then hands you the whole book underneath, searchable.

Nothing here is a fixed setlist. It’s the material we draw from, read to the room song by song. If your client wants something that isn’t on it, the first learned song is included in every booking and each one after that is $250.

Doors to first toast

The hour nobody remembers, and everybody feels.

Guests are finding the bar, finding each other, deciding what kind of night this is. The music keeps the room warm and unhurried — present enough that it isn't silent, quiet enough that nobody raises their voice. We play this hour softer than most bands want to.

Seated service

Conversation leads. We follow.

Dinner is the easiest set to get wrong. Too much and the room fights the band through the entrée; too little and it feels like the music stopped. Enough melody to be worth hearing, enough restraint to sit under four hundred people talking.

Plates clearing

The twenty minutes that decide the rest of the night.

Nobody's dancing yet and dinner is over. Most bands wait it out. We use it — the set climbs on purpose, song by song, so that when the floor opens the room is already leaning forward.

Dancing

Songs that work on a room of strangers.

A floor-filler isn't the best song, it's the song the most people in the room have in common. Four generations, one floor, nobody sitting down because they didn't recognize it. We adjust this set live — if a room wants more country, we go there.

The finish

Every night should land somewhere.

The last three songs are the ones people talk about in the car. We plan them with you rather than improvise them, and we'd rather end a song early with the room roaring than play past the moment.

Ceremony and formalities

The three minutes with no second take.

Processionals end when the aisle ends, not when the song does — so we watch, and we land it. Same for a first dance or an award walk-up. We also read lyrics before agreeing to anything, which is why a few romantic-sounding requests come back with a phone call.
