Using Live Music For Those Special Occasions

By Beatrice Heaver


Live music always creates a great atmosphere at any party. At the best of times you will want your memories to be special and your guests to be comfortable. Music is all about that personal touch, that comfortable ambiance in a personal environment.

At weddings you create memories that will last you a lifetime, and you want them to be really special. Special things will help you create those special memories. The music you have at your wedding must be endearing, personal, passionate and even intimate. The fondest memories are often tied together with music and the band, whether its a certain song that sticks in your memory, dancing with that special someone, or friends grabbing the microphone for some karaoke.

A truly daunting task is to add a touch of sophistication and some flair to an occasion, possibly a unique aspect or a personal touch . By adding a group doing instrumentals in the corner, or some lively rockers on the stage, you can use live performers to simplify this task for yourself. Let them create the backdrop for a great occasion while you can carry on with more important matters.

What can transform any ordinary old occasion into a truly extraordinary one is music. Music is a feature of the party, a great talking point, and creates a comfortable background for the party chitchat while you mingle. When it comes to giving your guests some common ground and putting them at ease, music is unbeatable.

It's always important to create the right mood. Depending on the occasion, you can choose from a whole host of genres, from R&B to easy listening, classics to rock. Varying the mood is just as important. Something lively and upbeat at the start of a party sets it off, then as the party winds down, moving to a more relaxed mood ends it on a good note.

Versatility is important when playing to a crowd, who wants to hear the same old radio tunes thumped out over a loudspeaker? Most party goers want a varied routine that suites them. Luckily, what suites one guest often suites another and reading the crowd is important to keep the party going.

There will always be people at parties who want to make a special request, or to hear a classic played. Old favorites are livened up and a fresh twist given to those old classics by a live band. When the occasion calls for it, something original, unique, and without associations can be just what the doctor ordered. Something new but still personal is just the right thing.

A big plus is that you don't always require electricity or specialized equipment, instrumentals are in a class of their own, adding a touch more personality and intimacy to any occasion.

Choosing a live band for your special occasions is a good idea for many reasons. Live music has a more personal feel to it than recorded music, is more versatile, and the routine can be varied to suite the crowd. By automatically adapting to the mood of the crowd, a band will help to keep the party going. You can have them all instrumental or singing, in the background or as a main feature singing, dancing and pumping the crowd. You can even dress them up.
