As guests arrive at your event, a live band creates a welcoming atmosphere from the very first moment — setting the tone with classic songs like When You’re Smiling and On the Sunny Side of the Street while waiting staff offer drinks.
With more than a decade together as a band, you can count on ASB to play at the right volume to allow you and your guests to mingle and network.
We’ll monitor volume levels ourselves and communicate with you throughout the event to ensure we’re all on the same page and keeping the energy level of the music right where you want it.
Whether you book one of our acoustic line-ups — Trumpet, Clarinet, Banjo, and Sousaphone — or one of our electric jazz combos with electric piano, double bass, trumpet and saxophone, we hate the modern trend of loud music causing guests to raise their voices. Our acoustic 4 or 5-piece combos provide a relaxed atmosphere that helps guests break the ice and mingle, whether that’s as a welcome to arriving guests or over pre-dinner drinks before the evening’s more formal activities begin.
Why This Works
- Genuinely quiet enough for conversation, loud enough to set a mood — not background noise, not a wall of sound
- Flexible instrumentation — acoustic for a relaxed feel, electric combo for a bit more presence
- We communicate with you and self-monitor volume throughout the event, rather than needing to be asked to turn down
