Event Services
Birthdays, anniversaries, house parties, backyard parties, company get-togethers that are not really corporate events. Same three players and the same rig that plays the ballrooms, at whatever volume your room can take.
For a private party the band brings its own PA and stage lighting, plays whatever set length the night needs instead of a fixed three sets, and can drop to an acoustic setup with percussion instead of a full kit when the room is small or the neighbours are close.
A wedding has a shape. A party does not. Some run two hours with people arriving the whole time, some run five and turn into a different event halfway through.
So tell us the window and we will build to it. Three sets of thirteen songs is the full evening, roughly two and a half hours of music. Shorter nights get fewer, longer sets, or two longer ones. What does not change is that the music is live the whole time and nobody is watching a laptop.
Austin decides this one before you do. The City publishes that amplified sound on residential property is allowed from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at a maximum of 75 decibels, and that after 10 p.m. it may not be audible beyond the property line. Residential property does not require, and is not eligible for, an outdoor sound permit.
In practice that means a backyard party ends amplified music at 10, not whenever the party is done. Plan the loud part earlier than feels natural. We would rather tell you that at the booking than at 9:55.
The full version, including what happens above fifty guests and where the permit line sits, is in live music for a backyard party in Austin.
If the room is small, or shares a wall, or you want people to be able to talk, we play the acoustic setup: same three players, same voices, percussion instead of the full kit. It is the same format we use for a cocktail hour and it changes the volume floor of the whole night.
The request that matters most here is usually one song, not a set. A first dance at a fortieth, a song somebody's father used to play, the thing that has to be right at eleven o'clock. Send it early and it gets learned properly, the same as a ceremony request.
What we will not do is fake it. If a song does not work with three players and three voices we will say so and suggest what does, rather than playing a thin version of something that mattered to you.
For what the band physically needs on site, see how much space and power a live band needs. If you are weighing us against other bands, what to ask a band before you book them is the honest checklist.
Yes, and the city sets the limits rather than the band. Austin allows amplified sound on residential property from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at a maximum of 75 decibels, and after 10 p.m. it may not be audible beyond the property line. So plan the loud part of the night earlier than feels natural.
No. Three sets of thirteen songs is the full evening, roughly two and a half hours of music, and that suits a wedding. For a party you tell us the window and we build to it: fewer and longer, or two longer sets. The music stays live throughout either way.
Yes. We play an acoustic setup for smaller rooms: the same three players and the same voices, with percussion instead of the full kit. It is the same format we use for a cocktail hour, and it lowers the volume floor of the whole night, not simply the PA level.
Ask about the setlist, the show, or what we need from your venue. If you want a date looked at, I can send it straight to the band.
