How many pieces in your group?

The size of the group varies from a solo musician up to four pieces. Depending upon what you desire, your options include: clarinet, keyboards, vocals, bouzouki, drums/percussion, and a DJ. Please visit our Ensemble Options page for specific configurations and options.

WHAT IS YOUR FEE?

Fee quotes are generally given directly to clients once an ensemble option has been selected and upon receipt of information in the Booking Form. Fees are calculated by the nature and duration of the event, the ensemble option requested, and the location of the event. All quotes are comprehensive. They include all travel and lodging expenses as necessary. Please visit our Ensemble Options page for specific configurations and options and the Booking Form page to submit information about your event.

HOw long do you play?

For Greek Festivals:
 We perform one, two, three, or four day events. In general, we perform 60-minute sets. The exact number of sets performed per day is dependent upon the number of dance shows and needs of a particular festival. We provide access to our equipment for recorded music used by local dance troupes associated with the festival and are also delighted to provide live music for dance shows upon request. Because every festival is different, we work closely with individual communities to tailor our residency to specifically meet the needs of a particular event.

For Dances & Private Affairs (wedding receptions, single evening dances, New Year’s Eve parties, etc.):
 Fees quoted generally cover a 4-hour block of time (inclusive of breaks). Please note that our intent is to provide clients with as much live music as possible during the event. Your function will never suffer from long breaks that can ruin a festive atmosphere.

do you perform at a loud volume level?

NO! We take care to perform at a reasonable volume. We are very sensitive to our audience’s comfort. We strive to balance an exciting, vibrant live performance sound centered on the dance floor with a pleasant atmosphere away from the dancing where guests may hear each other and carry on a conversation. If for any reason we have not reached that balance, we are very responsive to any requests to turn our volume down.

Do you play american music?

We do not perform American music live. However, for non-Greek dance music, your options include booking our DJ as part of the band package or non-interactive recorded music sets provided by the band.

Do you provide recorded music while on break?

YES! For Greek Festivals, we provide a diverse selection of recorded Greek music of all styles (traditional, modern, etc.). For dances and private affairs, you have two options while the live music is on break: booking our DJ as part of the band package or non-interactive recorded music sets provided by the band. We strive to keep the event going strong even while the band is on break. Additionally, we provide appropriate, tasteful dinner and background music (live or recorded) to set the perfect tone as your guests arrive, socialize and dine prior to our performance.

what do i need to provide for the band?

For all events, the band must have convenient access to electrical outlets providing clean, uninterrupted power. The client must also provide enough space for the desired size of the group. Due to the space needed for musicians, instruments, lighting, and sound reinforcement equipment, the ideal stage sizes are 32x12 feet for the full band (4 pieces), 24x12 feet for a trio, and 16x12 feet for a duo and solo.

For outside events, the band must be located under a covering large enough to protect the instruments and sensitive audio equipment from rainfall or other inclement weather.

how does the band dress?

The band performs in coordinated dress for a neat and uniform look. For Greek Festivals, we generally wear black shirts and black pants. For private affairs and receptions, coat and tie. It is our goal to represent ourselves to our clients and their guests in a way that does not draw attention to ourselves and that is appropriate for the event we are engaged to play.

do you travel?

YES! However, we concentrate our activities, within the southeast region of the United States.
