Kingston and Saugerties Wedding Band
A live wedding band for Kingston, Saugerties, Stone Ridge and the Catskill foothills, from a riverfront brickyard to a restored 1891 barn.
Inquire About Your DateKingston was New York's first state capital, and the city and its neighbors wear their history openly: stone houses in the Stockade District, brick buildings along the Rondout, old brickyards on the river. Ulster County's venues follow suit, from a riverfront brickyard with a hand in the Empire State Building to barns and farmhouses off the Esopus Creek.
Weddings here often stretch across a weekend, with guests staying in riverside cabins, inns and farmhouses. We travel for Hudson Valley weddings and take care of our own travel, gear and setup; send us your venue and date and we will go over the details together.

Kingston and Saugerties wedding band questions
Our barn has a disco ball. Can you play a real disco set?
Yes. Tell us on your Music Form which decades and genres you want and list your must-play songs, and we build the set list from it, disco included.
Who do we plan the music and timeline with?
With Gabby and Eddie, who also emcee. We go through the timeline with you on a call about a month before the wedding, and on the day one of us meets your planner before the reception to confirm the announcements.
Our venue is a farm well outside town. Do you bring everything with you?
Yes. A full PA system and our own sound engineer come with every package, and the engineer is on site two hours early. Send us a floor plan or a few photos of the space and we will work out where the band goes.
