If you are having a little get together with friends, using someone’s streaming account or turning on the radio is an excellent option for the musical accompaniment. If you are having a large party where you will be making memories, whether it be personal or corporate, hiring a live band is the best way to go. Using your own playlist from home is cheap, and a DJ can sometimes barely be a step up from that, so why not inject your event with energy and give Vancouver’s best party band a call – Groove & Tonic is here for you. Here are some great reasons to feature a live band at your next event.

Professional Feel

Any event that features a live band will appear more professional than one that relies on an iPod to shuffle songs. Everyone will leave feeling like they got to experience something special. It will be an incredibly memorable event.

Work With the Audience

A live band will be comprised of members who know how to work a crowd. They will be able to feed off your audience and help set the tone for the night. They can get encourage people to the dance floor, and if one tactic isn’t working, they can change directions and try something different. Having real professional entertainers to encourage your guests onto the dance floor will get more people getting down then a DJ or a playlist.

Repertoire

A great party band has an extensive repertoire. Many people think that if they hire a party band, they will have no control over the music and that the band only knows one set list. This could not be further from the truth. Our band, Groove & Tonic, knows 148 songs and if we are given enough advanced notice we can learn special requests.

No Emcee Needed

Many people think that they need to hire an emcee on top of a band, but a band is absolutely capable of providing classy, articulate, and polite announcements and introducing speakers. We can help keep your event running smoothly.

Sound Control

A band can turn up and down the volume based on your needs throughout the night. We understand that the evening will ebb and flow and that if you want to be able to crank it up and have a blast or leave some room for discussion, we will gladly accommodate.

Flexibility

There is not a lot of flexibility with a DJ or on a laptop. With a band though, they can revamp, transpose songs, change tempos, and alter lyrics to meet requests and to react to any “spur of the moment” situations.
