Stacked with some of the most talented musicians from the Seattle area, the group plays a classy, unique variety of energetic dance songs, including blues, soul, R&B, rock and classics made and specifically selected for dancing.

This band knows how to lay down a beat and belt out music that is fun and tailored for dancing. The stage show is colorful and entertaining whether you prefer to dance like crazy or listen and watch with some friendly faces...

"I would love to recommend Mark and his band! They were worth every penny and then some. From classical guitar during the ceremony, to jazz during cocktail hour, and on to rock for dancing in the evening – they're a one-band do-it-all show. We got numerous comments from guests (we had around 200) that loved them, as did we. Easy to work with, reliable, etc. I can't say enough. Hire them and enjoy your wedding!" Cathy Reidy Liermann
