As I stood in Smash Studios in Manhattan, listening to the showcases of the bands of
Elan Artists, I tart to wonder....What happened to the days when the excitement of the event you go to, whether a school function or a wedding, were a result of the live entertainment that would e supplied. the age of the wedding band is not gone yet! Wedding bands hold an energy and intimacy that DJs just can't produce. The interaction and ability to read a crowd is the biggest benefits of a band (plus the random 15 seconds of fame singing with the band). A reception can be divided between a DJ and a band: keeping the guests on their toes and playing something for everyone. I truly enjoyed the mash-ups of Top40 hits, old R&B, Motown, Rock & Roll and 80's hits. Check out the website and look at all the bands. I had the privilege of hearing Djore, The Elements and a new group Sound House.
