bands for your events

A band is a group of musicians who have joined together under a uniform name in order to make music together (cf. Wikipedia). Popular and suitable instruments are e.g. drums, bass, keyboard and guitar. This line-up usually forms the basic framework and is often supplemented with singeradditional guitarist or brass section (saxophone, trumpet, trombone etc.). A Addition of wind instruments expands the musical possibilities. A wind instrumentalist can convey very personal emotions and moods on his instrument. Whether instrumental solo pieces with saxophone, trombone or trumpet or just the groovy saxophone solo in a Rock'n Roll, or a brass riff of a brass section in a Blues Brothers number, the versatility of a band increases. A complete brass section is when three horns, usually consisting of trumpet, trombone, and saxophone, complete the band. Extended with a singer, this is the high-end line-up for large dance galas or prominent corporate events. We have already explained the basic line-up of a band with drums, keyboard, bass, guitar. In this line-up many things are possible. There are also deviations from this rule. So in the rock area with a 4 man/woman line-up sometimes a 2nd guitarist is given preference over a keyboard player, or in the jazz area the line-up of pianist, drummer and bassist with wind player or singer is chosen. The jazz combo usually consists of 3 to about 8 musicians in very variable lineups. The rhythm section with piano, bass and drums is extended with guitarist and wind player (trumpet, trombone, saxophone) and/or singer. The style is already defined in the name and is extremely diverse due to the broad possibilities of jazz. A special form of a jazz combo is the so-called Dixieland band. Dixieland developed in the 1910s, mainly by white musicians, from New Orleans jazz. The typical instrumentation consists of a melodic group with trumpet, clarinet and trombone and a rhythm section of piano, double bass or often tuba/sousaphone as well as banjo/guitar and drums. The catchy melodies are expanded by improvisations, also collective improvisations of the melody group. A well-known German representative of this style from the 70s are the Hot Dogs. Live bands can be extremely flexible - even during the song - reacting to the audience. In addition to being true to the original, many of these bands also focus on the arrangement. If the musical craft is right, every piece can become a concert experience and live enjoyment is guaranteed. There should be at least one good lead vocalist in a band, ideally supported by back vocals. Female voices expand the program possibilities enormously. In this line-up, chart hits by female stars or duets by male and female stars can also be authentically reproduced. Cover band is the term for a music group that plays pieces of other mostly very well-known stars, i.e. covers. Bands in this category can usually offer the desired wide-ranging program to entertain at weddings, corporate events, club parties or city or tent festivals. Depending on the band, pieces are performed true to the original or newly arranged in their own interpretation. Both styles have - if well presented - their charm. Here you should judge the selected band on the basis of audio samples or best at a live performance. The tribute band is a special form of the cover band. Bands in this category cover songs of well-known stars, but limit themselves to one style or even to a well-known band (the latter often then called with the addition revival band). Besides cover bands, you will also find bands that compose and play their own songs. From punk, funk, soul, rock, heavy metal, ......here you will find everything! Please note: As the number of musicians increases, the space required on stage increases.
