About The Derrico Project

The Derrico Project

Lead Singer | Band Leader

The Derrico Project is a completely customizable live wedding band, led by husband-and-wife team Jenny and Scotty Derrico. With a combined 30+ years of performance experience, they create a live music experience tailored to each couple’s preferences, event, and guests. Band composition ranges from a three-piece acoustic trio to a full five-piece band with optional horn(s), allowing couples to choose the lineup that best fits their celebration. Their repertoire spans Motown, Disco, Dance, Top 40, Hip Hop, Country, Funk/Soul, Latin Tunes, and R&B, and their high-energy, interactive approach keeps dance floors busy all night long!

A few things that set The Derrico Project apart: • Tailored setlist — shaped around your preferences and your crowd • “Play” & “Do Not Play” lists — so you hear the songs you love and avoid the ones you don't • Custom song options — choose up to two special songs for us to learn for your big day • Curated photo opportunities — fun, engaging moments during the show that make for amazing photos • Interactive, engaging performance — we read the room and keep guests involved all night • Dedicated Event Planning Hub — an easy way to organize your timeline, song choices, and key moments

    Amazing group of people

    The Derrico Project made our wedding reception unforgettable. From our first conversation, they were friendly and straightforward about what they could do for us, which made the whole planning process easy and stress-free. On the big day, their talent really shined through—they read the room perfectly and kept everyone dancing from start to finish. They struck the perfect balance between playing songs we loved and keeping the energy high, and our guests haven't stopped talking about how fun the night was. Their professionalism was unmatched and we couldn't have asked for a better band. We'd recommend The Derrico Project to anyone looking for a DJ or band that will make their wedding day special.

    Amazing

    The Derrico Project made our wedding day so much better than we imagined. From our first conversation, they were friendly and supportive, answering all our questions and keeping us organized with their wedding planning hub. On the big day, they handled all the announcements, took requests from our guests, and kept everyone dancing the entire night. Their professionalism and energy were truly impressive, and they made sure everything ran smoothly so we could just enjoy ourselves. We were blown away by how engaging and fun they made our reception feel. If you're looking for a band that cares about your special day as much as you do, The Derrico Project is the way to go.

    Amazing Band

    From our first conversation, The Derrico Project made it clear they understood exactly what we wanted for our wedding. They were so easy to work with and delivered on every request we made. On the big day, they brought incredible energy and talent that had our guests on the dance floor all night long. The band didn't just play music—they interacted with our family and friends in a way that made everyone feel included and celebrated. The Derrico Project turned out to be everything we hoped for and so much more. We're already looking forward to catching their shows in the future!

    The Derrico Project is the real deal. They bring insane energy every single time and somehow know every song ever written - Pop, R&B, Classic Rock. If you have the chance to see them in a public forum, go, or if you want a fantastic band for an event, hire them. You’ll thank yourself later.
