    Amazing!

    We hired JJ Band to perform for a Mardi Gras themed corporate awards event. We were BEYOND impressed with the level of communication (before and after the event), professionalism displayed, and of course, the music itself. In fact, the most frequent comment we heard from our guests was wishing we had them play more during the event! The band sounded amazing and they were very easy to work with. We experienced audio issues during the event and the band immediately jumped into action and started playing, making the entire issue feel intentional rather than a tech blunder. If you're looking for a high quality group to play at your event, I cannot recommend them enough!

    Highly Recommend

    We contacted them to provide some light jazz background music for a fun event we were hosting. They were super easy to work with, great communication before our event and sounded great at our facility! Very talented musicians. Thank you!

    Wonderful Group!

    JJ Band is a fantastic group of musicians! Their professionalism and skill is a breath of fresh air, and I would highly recommend them for any occasion!

Our minimum fee is $750 for a duo or solo with backing tracks depending on what the client prefers. Typically we can perform duo for up to 3 hours for that price. Because every project is different, I'm happy to provide custom price quotes tiered for up to a 5 piece Jazz band. That way you can find the perfect balance for your budget and music entertainment needs.
Typically the customer will message me to start the conversation. We'll then schedule a quick call to go over specifics. From there, I will issue a contract and take a 50% deposit to hold the date. Any questions and follow up calls are welcomed once the date is confirmed. The balance is due on the day of the performance.
We are all trained musicians that have attended music school and have at least a bachelor’s degree or higher in music performance/education.
We started performing locally at various venues while attending school. It was really exciting for us to move on from the fast food jobs and make money as musicians to cover expenses. I and my band mates included have always enjoyed and love making music together!
Typically there are 3 types of clients we work with. - Wedding couples that want music for ceremony, cocktail hour and/or reception. We'll perform duo and with up to a 5 piece Jazz band. - Corporate event planners that need music entertainment for their specific events and parties. - Private party clients. These are typically celebrations like graduations, milestone birthday parties or get togethers with friends. Usually, I will perform in the client's home. Sometimes the client will rent a venue for the party. I'm open to whatever the client decides.
My favorite recent booking was a private corporate event. We provided live music during the Fiabesca shoe store grand opening. The food was phenomenal!
Since we have performed private events, I can offer my advice on anything from flow of events, length of performance and song selection.
The client should know their budget and confirm the venue where the event will take place. I'm flexible, but these details help move the booking process along faster.
