Wedding songs for rad lovebirds


​We do wedding music a little differently 'round here. You won't find any of the usual cover band junk.

Our recordings are raw and unedited.
That way you know exactly what you'll get when you book us.
​No fancy effects, no autotune, and no nasty backing tracks.

If you're up for an alt-punk-indie-retro-jazz-country-ish wedding band, you're in the right place.
Here's some live samples of our alternative wedding songs for your listening pleasure.
​

Fun Ceremony Songs

You can have ANYTHING YOU WANT for your ceremony music. Don't be limited by what everyone else does.
​Our couples have gone for different stuff like this:
I GOT A WOMAN - RAY CHARLES
LET"S ELOPE BABY! - JANIS MARTIN
HOTEL YORBA - THE WHITE STRIPES

Awesome Reception Songs

You don't need a big band for a big sound. In fact, if you've got less than 80 guests, you're better off with something small for your reception music. Amplification and varied instruments mean you can get a mighty, mighty sound with just two good lookin' musicians.
DRINKIN' WHISKEY TONIGHT - POKEY LAFARGE
S.O.B. - NATHANIEL RATELIFF & THE NIGHT SWEATS
FOLSOM PRISON BLUES - JOHNNY CASH

Wedding Songlist

We're always adding to our repertoire of wedding songs. When you hire us, we'll do the research to help you discover the best wedding songs from your preferred styles and artists - then we'll learn them for you and perform them with a unique twist. It's kinda our thang.
